The World's Top 10 Most Glamorous Cities to Ring in the New Year

Nothing spells glamour like Los Angeles. Make a weekend of it and kick off the New Year's Eve festivities (NYE falls on a Sunday this year) at Beverly Hills's La Scala, the festive, family-run Italian bistro. Sunday afternoon, head to the Waldorf Astoria for a New Year's Eve day Nutcracker tea. Drop into Musso and Frank's Grill, Hollywood's oldest restaurant (founded in 1919) to sip predinner martinis, just as the old-Hollywood set did. To ring in the New Year, Dita Von Teese headlines at the Ace Hotel's gala for New Year's Eve. Watch the ball drop by the Christmas tree at the Ronald Reagan Library Museum while the band The Platinum Groove plays. The Montage Beverly Hills, The Beverly Hilton, and the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills will also offer prix fixe dinners with Champagne toasts and music to bring in the new year in style. The iconic pink Beverly Hills Hotel offers two menus, which will create a memorable send-off for 2017, and hosts its signature New Year's Day brunch to feed that hangover.
