New Year’s Eve is one of the most exciting nights of the year. Make sure you spend it in style at one of these fabulous locations for a night you’ll never forget…
London
If you have a head for heights, the open-air rooftop bar at The Trafalgar Hotel, which is not far from the National Gallery and overlooks the busy Square, has spectacular views of London and the South Bank. Normally closed for the winter, the hotel is graciously opening the bar for this special occasion. After watching the dazzling display, you can continue dancing the rest of the night away at the NYE party in the hotel’s Rockwell Bar, guest DJ from 9PM to 3AM.

New York
There are few better ways to enjoy New York than from above, cocktail in hand, gazing across the lights and landmarks that define the city. One such landmark is the historic Knickerbocker Hotel, one-time haunt of American elite like F. Scott Fitzgerald and John D. Rockefeller, which serves as base of St.Cloud; a 7,800-square-foot rooftop bar and terrace. Named after the late-19th-century hotel that originally occupied the Knickerbocker space, the outdoor space is outfitted with plush “sky pods”, metallic-finished wood floors and a cigar lounge from celebrated tobacconist Nat Sherman.
