Today we post about New Year’s Eve Celebrations Around the World and our
recommended hotels in each city!
NEW YORK (Pics 1, 2, 3, 4)
The ball drop over Times Square — a tradition that started in 1907 — is one of the world’s most iconic New Year’s Eve celebrations, and it remains a draw for about a million visitors every year. Revelers start filling the Crossroads of the World in the afternoon, fighting for a spot with a view, offered free, but on a first-come, first-served basis. The event actually starts at 6 p.m. with the lighting and raising of the ball, kicking off a full night of programming that runs until 12:15 a.m. As we do not want our precious guests to wait for hours in the cold NYC air, we suggest to book the brand new Times Square Edition that is a great hotel with terraces overlooking the Times Square! What a memorable stay and what a memorable New Eve with food prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, open bar and VIP access
to live unobstructed viewing of the Ball Drop in Times Square with security es**rt from property!
SYDNEY (Pics 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
Sydney’s summertime New Year’s celebrations are among the first in the world. In 2024, they will include a fireworks-fueled show blasted across
television screens to an audience of more than 425 million. We’re talking colorful pyrotechnics launched off the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. The festivities kick off at 7:30 p.m. local time with a Smoking Ceremony from the Tribal Warrior Association, followed by pylon projections on the bridge, a “Welcome to Country” from the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal
Land Council, a Calling Country fireworks from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and a light show as decked out boats glide across the harbor. Our favorite hotel in Sydney is of course the outstanding Capella Sydney.
