It’s December 22nd, do you know where you’ll be on New Years Eve?  In Los Angeles, New Years Eve is never an easy night – taxis and town cars are booked well in advance, nobody wants to be a designated driver, and there’s so much traffic that you’re honestly worried you’ll countdown in the car (make sure you’re sitting next to someone you want to kiss, just in case).  Perhaps this year, you’ll skip the party in Malibu (really, PCH on New Years?) and ring in 2010 at one of these tres haute parties…

SLS Hotel

The SLS Hotel doesn’t scream out for scandal or naughty behavior.  But if you’re going to cause a stir, can you think of any more chic or bizarre place to do it?  Find us a lobby that’s more fun to sneak down to after hours than this one, is our point.  Hence why the SLS is perfect for New Year’s Eve! Their New Year’s Eve Gala offers up fine dining from The Bazaar, enough champagne to make you remember only the good bits of 2009, and the chance to dance until the morning.  They’ve got a Star Lit Soiree Package for out of town guests, too.  Click here to read more about it.

The SLS Hotel is located at 465 S. La Cienega Blvd. in Los Angeles.  (310) 247-0400
