You’ll have to wring out your wallet to ring in the New Year at this Times Square hotspot.
The Knickerbocker Hotel is toasting its 120th anniversary with a $120,000 New Year’s Eve package for couples they are calling “a once-in-a-century celebration” and “the city’s most elevated, turnkey New Year’s Eve experience.”
“The package reimagines New Year’s Eve as a fully orchestrated journey, pairing luxury hospitality with high-touch styling, beauty, and wellness, all culminating in once-in-a-lifetime access to the Times Square Ball Drop just 150 feet from the world’s most-watched countdown,” the hotel trumpeted.
The luxe hotel at 42nd Street and Broadway is offering a three-night stay in one of its suites, along with a multi-course NYE dinner at its Charlie Palmer Steak IV — and a private St. Cloud Rooftop pod to view the ball drop.
The pod comes with bottle service and champagne sabering — where the bottle of bubbly is ceremoniously opened by shearing off the top with a saber.
The next day, revelers at the hotel — which opened in 1906 and has welcomed famous guests like John D. Rockefeller and F. Scott Fitzgerald and is rumored to be the birthplace of the martini — receive dinner at Akoya, the sushi restaurant on its premises.
The hefty price tag also includes perks from Nordstrom’s NYC Flagship on West 57th Street, which is partnering with the Knickerbocker to pamper its NYE guests with a blowout, manicure and pedicure, hair, makeup and wardrobe curation — and a $25,000 clothing and accessories credit.
On Jan. 1, revelers will get lunch at Nordstrom’s Italian-inspired restaurant Wolf.
Throughout their three-day stay, guests will also receive luxury car service between The Knickerbocker and Nordstrom, as well as gifts from both brands, including a Times Square Ball crystal.
