NEW YORK
The Standard, High LineIf you’re feeling glitzy, snap up your tickets to NYE in that most legendary of locales: The Top of The Standard. Simply put, you can’t get more chic than a black-tie blowout with the one-and-only Nile Rodgers & Chic. It’s going to be an incredible night in Boom with the skyline in every direction.

The Standard, East VillageIf fresh, cozy and comfy is what you’re envisioning, the smartest play in town is a reservation for Chef Fraser’s superb New Year’s prix-fixe at Narcissa, our California-inspired gem adjacent to The Standard, East Village.
LOS ANGELES
If you’re in LA, the evening is your oyster/lobster/caviar/hot fudge sundae. There's two routes you can go, depending on your mood.The Standard, Hollywood
Make your reservations for Bryan Rabin and Adam Bravin’s Black and White Masquerade Ball at The Standard, Hollywood. The evening starts with a special dinner at our time-sensitive, resident restaurant Alma. Then, the party moves over to Giorgio’s for a performance by Joey Arias, followed by dancing, dancing, and more dancing into 2016. Note: you probably won’t want to head home after this one, so we suggest you snap up a special NYE room rate and make a night of it.
Or, if you want your Alma without a side of Arias and the pop of bottles, our books are open and await your reservation. Visit OpenTable, email us: Alma@StandardHotels.com, or call: (323) 822-3131.
