It’s the most iconic location in the world to celebrate New Year’s Eve: Times Square in New York City, where the famous ball drop has taken place for over 100 years to herald in the new year. And this year, the New York Marriott Marquis plans to make it even more exciting.
Guests who book the hotel’s Ultimate Luxury New Year’s Eve package will arrive via private limousine to the sounds of a baby grand piano. They will then move to a sumptuous presidential suite as they get ready to usher in the new year.
Their private attendant will greet them with Piper Heidsieck champagne and the chef’s selection of festive hors d’oeuvres, as they explore this spacious two-bedroom suite, decorated in celebratory style. Then it’s time to primp with a personal stylist from PRIMP Salon & Spa Services for the gala party below in Broadway Lounge, where they’ll be seated in the prime ball drop view seats, overlooking thousands of people gathered for the big countdown at midnight.
And, as a warm-up to the countdown, earlier in the evening they’ll enjoy a surprise visit outdoors to Times Square. In Broadway Lounge, a full evening of entertainment, special buffet dinner menus, premium bars and dancing await, as midnight fast approaches. Then it’s countdown time, when the air is filled with a storm of confetti throughout Times Square, as the famous Waterford Crystal ball descends.
The new year starts off with a bang in the morning with breakfast at Crossroads – the perfect ending to the celebration and beginning to 2015.
Not keen on the idea of being outside in the cold weather in Times Square for the countdown to midnight? For the first time ever, the New York Marriott Marquis will sell “Ball Drop View to New Year’s Eve in Times Square” guest rooms on marriott.com.
