26 Expensive Hotel Rooms Around The World For New Year’s 2016

Each year I try to spend the first day of the New Year in a different country. I’ve been doing this for many years now and still enjoy it. In 2014, it was Hong Kong, 2015 was Singapore and 2016 is still unknown. It is such a fun experience as you get to experience the different cultures. There can be very expensive hotels though as you will see with this round up of 26 expensive hotels around the world for New Year’s 2016.

I’ve swallowed 12 grapes in Madrid, Spain while drinking champagne, which sounds easy, but its not :-). Picked a fortune off a tree in Japan. Froze in Times Square in New York and Amsterdam plus watched the city come alive in Panama City, Panama and Manilla, Philippines. I don’t think there are strict laws about fireworks in either of those cities.

One thing I’ve always wanted to do is to take Qantas’ flight to nowhere. Each end of year they have a flight that flies over the Antarctic. It’s also done a few other times during the year as well. It’s a privately chartered Boeing 747-400 and the flight last about 12 hours. Passengers take turns sitting at the window. For some, this is as close they come to the Antarctic. The one for 2016 leaves Melbourne (MEL) on 31 December 2015. Starting at about $1,199, its cheaper than two of the hotels on the list :-).

Luckily I usually stay with friends, but when I have to do a hotel, its usually a very sad place that is so overpriced its not funny. I once did a YMCA which was not too bad, but cost way more than it should. But at the last minute you usually don’t have many choices.

So I thought that I’d start looking at hotel rates for New Year’s 2016 in the major cities where New Year’s is celebrated. It’s pretty amazing what I found. Some places are odd as you can find cheaper places right in the heart of everything; still pricey though.. Take NY Times Square for example, you can still find properties in Times Square with availability that is less than the most expensive New York property currently available. So go figure? You can even uses your hotel points to book. But don’t wait too long as these rates will disappear very soon. I’m actually surprised that reward nights are still available in right in Times Square as well.
