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.
