One billion viewers, from all over the world, will be watching the live telecast of New Year’s Eve in New York City’s Times Square. And as the Waterford Crystal ball descends to welcome a new decade, one million penned-in people will have braved frigid temperatures for the chance to see it live from the ground. Lucky for you the Squire has you on his “NICE” list this year and thinks you deserve some better options.
Renaissance New York Times Square
The Renaissance New York Times Square will be providing private viewing from one of their newly redesigned terrace rooms which extend toward Times Square from the hotel’s fourth floor. Their unique vantage point is part of their appeal. You’ll be close enough to feel like you’re part of the action, yet get to enjoy the luxury of a private perch. Before midnight, a magnum of Champagne and snacks will be sent to your room to help with the celebration and, should you crave a party, the hotel’s R-Lounge will host a black-tie soirée with live entertainment, DJ, premium open bar and elaborate chef stations.
New York Marriott Marquis
For those interested in sharing access to two outdoor patios with old acquaintances that need not be forgotten, the New York Marriott Marquis invites you to their eighth floor Broadway Lounge, with views of the main stage you will always remember. Past headliners in the lounge have included Robin Thicke, Nick Jonas and KATO. Their tiered packages (which are selling out quickly) suit specific preferences and budgets and range from reserved seating to direct ball-drop view to the full VIP experience.
Refinery Hotel
Still want to be on the ground? The nearby Refinery Hotel is offering their first-ever VIP Package which includes accommodations for two, access to a private dinner at Winnie’s, the Refinery’s prohibition-style lounge, followed by a private escort to Times Square to witness the ball drop. Now that’s a baller perk! Once you and your security detail return, you’ll have priority access to Refinery Rooftop, with premium open bar.
How you spend your New Year’s Eve might just set the tone for the upcoming decade. Don’t worry. Regardless of your choice, the Squire promises to steer you toward fabulous adventures for years to come. Happy New Year!
