The holidays are the best time in New York City, between the giant Christmas tree and the exciting countdown to the new year in Times Square. This year, New York Marriott Marquis offers guests a quintessential Times Square New Year’s Eve experience in the heart of the action but with all the comforts of staying in your hotel room. As the country counts down from 10, guests at Marquis will have the best view of the world-renowned NYE Ball Drop, making it the best destination to ring in the new year in style.

Guests and visitors can choose from two unforgettable events:
Ring in 2025 at Marriott Marquis’ iconic Marquis New Year’s Eve Party, located just steps away from the Ball Drop in Times Square. Attendees can look down upon the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve main stage as the show’s special guests perform and count down to midnight. Hosted by Balldrop.com, the party features a live DJ; dancing; dinner buffet with food from Little Italy, Chinatown and the Meatpacking District; a premium open bar; and one-of-a-kind views of the ball drop. Guests with tickets are encouraged to dress to the nines. Ticketholders receive:
