Rooftop New Year’s Eve Gala at the Peninsula Hotel

If you are hoping to pull out all the stops this New Year’s Eve, the Peninsula Hotel’s rooftop gala may be just what you’re looking for. Expect a night of glamour, which includes a literal red carpet entrance; bars stocked with an endless supply of tequila, Champagne, raw seafood and sushi; the DJ stylings of France’s Jul & Co and an endless stream of hits by UK cover band The Chip Boys. The hotel's rooftop bar Salon de Ning will be the center of the event, with activites and bars on its covered and heated terraces 23 stories up with views of the City. At the midnight hour, a huge screen will broadcast the Times Square Ball drop to usher in 2018. The whole night will run you $725 before taxes, but promises to be a luxurious affair. Black tie is optional.
