Still processing 2020? Believe it or not, it’s time to bid farewell to 2021 and welcome a new year!

And to make up for lost time, IHG Hotels & Resorts is alleviating the pressure synonymous with New Year’s Eve planning, so you can have the best night of your life. From multi-coursed meals to spectacular fireworks shows – there’s no shortage of ways to kiss 2021 goodbye.

Best Bubbles & Bites

If you’re in Australia, countdown to 2022 with a luxurious eight-course dining experience at InterContinental Adelaide’s Shiki and enjoy the fireworks display over the River Torrens. The hotel’s Japanese restaurant will offer a late seating on New Year’s Eve with a premium menu of caviar, sashimi, oysters, crayfish with truffle butter, prawns, wagyu striploin, and more paired with a selection of wines, beer, and sake. But that’s not all, the indulgent experience also includes a bubbly French Champagne or smooth Japanese Whisky to toast to the new year when the clock strikes midnight.

Best Views

Watch the ball drop live from Times Square and enjoy America’s much cherished, annual tradition, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. With a stay at InterContinental New York Times Square, the celebratory action of live entertainment and famous crystal ball drop is right outside your door (or window, depending on your vantage point!).

Or, head South, and ring in the new year at Bayfront Park – voted one of USA Today’s top 10 places in the world to celebrate – and countdown to midnight with Miami’s own “Big Orange” that will slowly ascend the side of InterContinental Miami with a grand display of fireworks over Biscayne Bay for one unbeatable view.

Best Party

For those wishing to experience the glitz and glam of the Roaring ‘20s, what better way to ring in 2022 than with a Gatsby-themed New Year’s Eve? Join InterContinental San Diego for an upscale, 1920’s flapper-fashion party and get access to a five hour premium open bar, live DJs, complimentary lite bites, and one spectacular countdown to midnight – complete with a champagne toast and fireworks display over Bayfront Harbor.

Best Rooftop

Offering a chic, sky terrace, Crowne Plaza London – Albert Embankment’s Mezemiso is a place to be seen this New Year’s Eve. The rooftop bar and restaurant have panoramic views of the city over the River Thames and will serve a 12-course Lebanese-Japanese fusion style sharing menu for four, along with a complimentary welcome cocktail and glass of champagne at midnight.

Best Kid’s Celebration

The celebration doesn’t have to exclude little ones wanting in on the fun! InterContinental Hayman Island Resort’s Planet Trekkers Kids Club has littles covered for the perfect New Year’s Eve celebration. Young travelers aged four to 12 can celebrate the new year in a fun-filled playroom with games and food stations from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. while parents sneak off to a three-hour, elegant seven-course modern Asian cuisine dinner with live entertainment and unmatched views of Hayman Beach's fireworks spectacular.

Best Snooze

Music City Midnight is back this year and bigger than ever before with nearly 50 performances from country music’s biggest stars, including Jason Aldean, Jimmie Allen, Kelsea Ballerini, and more. A stay at avid hotel Nashville Airport puts you just 15 minutes from the action of live music, fireworks and Nashville’s signature midnight Music Note Drop without any noise disturbance for a superior night’s sleep. Every inch of space in your room is focused on sound sleep, with a high-quality mattress and bedding, black-out roller shades, and a sound-reducing headboard. After a good night’s sleep, you can fill up on the hotel’s free, high-quality breakfast and freshly ground, bean-to-cup coffee (you know, in case you need a little extra pep in your step!).

Best Brunch

Don’t spend the first hours of the new year nursing a hangover – get out of bed at Regent Singapore and head to Basilico, where you can treat yourself to a comforting, special New Year’s Day brunch of pizzas, house-made pasta, and – oh yeah, a free-flowing alcohol package. That’s right, all-you-can-drink bubbles and wine to kick off 2022.

Across the world, visitors to Sacramento, California, can party the night away at Kimpton Sawyer Hotel and recover in the morning at Revival’s New Year’s Day Hangover Brunch. For just US$50, you get access to a hot-breakfast buffet and a welcome mimosa or Bloody Mary.

Best Package  

Rainey Street, in the heart of Austin, Texas, is one of the best places to celebrate New Year’s Eve because there’s something for every taste and budget. Whether you want to celebrate on the dance floor, in a restaurant, pub, or bar, we’ve got your stay covered. With Kimpton Hotel Van Zandt’s New Year’s Eve package, you get two nights of luxury accommodations with complimentary valet parking, welcome champagne upon check-in, and breakfast in bed for two on New Year’s Day for your post-party recovery.

Best Luxe Experience

The “money can’t buy experience” – that only money can buy. Book a stay in InterContinental New York Barclay’s Harold S. Vanderbilt Penthouse Suite for a long weekend and you will be living the life of the flossy – yes, it even comes with a private helicopter and car service, so you arrive in style (we knew you were wondering). From there, enjoy exclusive access to an outdoor terrace with heaters and blankets for a live streaming of the ball drop (there will also be champagne, of course). And the morning after, you and three others can enjoy a secluded New Year’s Day brunch with a jazz trio. And one last special touch – your stay also comes with 2,022,000 IHG Rewards points toward a future stay. Talk about ringing the New Year in style.

Best Recovery  

Offering spectacular views of Winter Wonderland’s midnight firework display, voco St David’s Cardiff is not only perfect spot to ring in the new year with a bang, but also to recover from a bit too much revelry. Book a ‘Spa & Stay’ package and enjoy an award-winning 50-minute treatment followed by a full Welsh breakfast with a little “hair of the dog” to get you back on your feet after a night of fun.
