What this experience is

The Times Square EDITION is advertising a New Year's Eve celebration to toast 2027 at its Times Square hotel. What sets it apart is access. Both published packages include VIP access to live, unobstructed Ball Drop viewing in Times Square, with a security escort from the property.

Guests choose between two formats. 701West is a multi-course tasting menu with wine pairings. The Garden Party is a canapé-and-cocktail celebration. Both end with a two-hour open-bar after-party from midnight to 2 AM, which makes this one of the most complete “party plus Ball Drop” options we have reviewed.

Who it may suit

  • Couples and groups who want a full evening in one place
  • Visitors who want to be at the Ball Drop without waiting in a public viewing area all day
  • Food-focused guests (701West)
  • Guests who want a stand-up party atmosphere (Garden Party)

Trade-offs

  • A premium-priced night compared with the free public viewing areas
  • Outdoor Ball Drop viewing means time in the cold
  • Timings, age policy and dress code must be confirmed directly
  • Times Square security and closures still affect your arrival

Before you book

  • Book early. Premium Times Square packages have finite capacity.
  • Ask how guests are escorted to the viewing area and whether coats can be checked.
  • Get your arrival instructions in writing. Street closures around Times Square begin early on Dec 31.
