The best places
to ring in 2020 in high spirits For most people, New Year's Eve is all about quiet reflection and making resolutions for the year ahead, but how about you change things up a little this year and join the people and places ringing in the new year in style. Think beach parties, spectacular fireworks, Jazz Age glamour at a retro bar or a raucous street party in one of the world’s coolest capitals. There’s no shortage of ways to see in the New Year; You just need to know where to look. Ivan & Rouslan Lartisien Co-Founders of Grand Luxury Hotels Our Selection For retro-disco glamour We’ve got one address for you: The Carlyle in New York City. Sure, the Ball Drop at Times Square is the archetypal NYC thing to do on New Year's Eve, but this year, with the Loston Harris Jazz Trio performing at the Bemelmans Bar, and the black tie gala happening at the Café Carlyle, we’d gladly give the ten-second countdown a miss in favor of sipping martinis and swaying to jazz. Book your seat at Bemelmans For the most spectacular fireworks When it comes to New Year's Eve fireworks, some cities do it better than others. There is the perennially popular Sydney fireworks, of course, with the iconic Opera House and Harbor Bridge providing a breathtaking backdrop, and London’s show, but there are also destinations like Taipei, Bangkok, Moscow and Rio that put up quite a spectacle. Choose your NYE destination For the biggest beach party With some of the best beaches and cocktail bars in the world, Rio is always a great place to party, and New Year's Eve is no exception. The 2.5-mile Copacabana Beach becomes a place for a whopping two million people to gather for a night of concerts, samba, champagne and fireworks, and there is nothing quite like it. Book your stay in Rio For the biggest city party On New Year’s Eve, few cities can match Berlin’s energy and massive open-air party that happens between Brandenburg Gate and Victory Column. It’s one of Europe’s largest outdoor celebrations, with live music, DJs, laser shows and fireworks, and the crowd’s one of the loveliest you can imagine. You can’t help but cheer in the streets because that's what everyone else is doing. Book your stay in Berlin For the longest celebration Edinburgh’s three-day Hogmanay extravaganza needs no introduction. It kicks off on December 30, and the partying does not stop until New Year’s Day with live music, laid-back pub grubs, traditional fancy-dressing and torchlight processions along the Royal Mile. Then, of course, the midnight fireworks over Edinburgh Castle is a spectacular show, and a wonderful way to start the new year.
