Where to Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Ultimate Luxury

Where Will You Be When the Clock Strikes Midnight?

Let me guess...

You’re done with soggy party hats, lukewarm prosecco and wondering why you stayed up past your bedtime for that firework display?

Next year, you want something better

Something shinier

Something with caviar, champagne and a view that makes your jaw drop faster than the countdown reaches zero?

Excellent choice. I’ve rounded up some of the most jaw droppingly luxurious hotels around the world where New Year’s Eve is not just a night out but a full blown experience. Whether you fancy fireworks over iconic skylines, dancing barefoot on a beach or sipping Dom Pérignon in a tuxedo, this list is pure travel inspiration.

And yes, I can book every single one for you.
