Destination

Still contemplating NYE plans? If a last-minute getaway is in the budget, consider these six U.S. destinations to ring in the New Year in jet-setting style.

 

New York

An obvious choice; New York City is the epicenter of New Year’s Eve. Consider the Sofitel New York, where the party starts at 5 p.m. with a DJ and screenings of the celebrations in Paris with a Champagne toast. Two dinner seatings begin at 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. The Times Square Ball Drop screening begins at 11:30 p.m., with the party continuing until 2 a.m.

 

Adirondacks

Escape the hustle and bustle of a city celebration at Whiteface Lodge in New York’s Adirondacks. The all-suite resort is planning two parties — one family-friendly and the other adults-only.

 

Scottsdale

Ring in 2015 three ways with Arizona’s Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain. The resort is offering three different dining options: dinner; dinner and entertainment; and dinner, DJ and dancing. Perfect options to suit any reveler’s mood.

 

Cape Cod

Celebrate on the Cape at Sea Crest Beach Hotel. The offer (for two people) includes accommodations, dinner and dancing, party favors, Champagne and a New Year’s Day breakfast buffet.

 

Singer Island

Florida’s Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa brings sunshine to your 2015, with two dinner seatings at Executive Chef Larry LaValley’s 3800 Ocean.

 

Fort Lauderdale

Another sunny spot for the New Year is McCoy’s Oceanfront restaurant at Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa. A four-course menu and live entertainment by Joanna Holstein are along the highlights.
