Hotel Valley Ho's New Year’s Eve Bash

There is no doubt that when you visit the Hotel Valley Ho, whether it be for lunch, a special occasion or hotel stay, you are in for a real treat and unique experience. I had the opportunity to chat with the lovely Kristin Heggli, PR and communications manager for the Hotel Valley Ho. Heggli shared the details for their upcoming New Year’s celebration, and how you can ring in the New Year in style.

Tell me about the end of the year at the Hotel Valley Ho.

ZuZu is open Christmas Day! Diners can order off the regular menus, and we’ll also have a few holiday specials like the herb-crusted prime rib and egg nog crème brulee. We’ve also got a great, retro-themed New Year’s Eve party at ZuZu.

What sets your New Year’s event apart from other in the Valley?

This is the only event of the year where our staff is dressed 1950s style, and we encourage guests to wear their best vintage threads, too. It’s so fun to see everyone dress to the period and have a swell time! Also, the rooftop champagne toast is quite special; it’s atop our seven-story tower.

What can guests expect when they choose to spend New Year’s Eve at the Hotel Valley Ho?

DJ Mr. P-Body will be spinning in the lounge, and we’ll also have a four-course dinner paired with Belvedere vodka and champagne from Moet & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot. Those who reserve a seat at dinner will be invited to a champagne toast on the rooftop at midnight.

How would you describe the overall experience?

The moment guests arrive, they’ll feel transported to the 1950s. It’ll be an evening of splendid cuisine, champagne, dancing and celebration.

Are there various dining options and price points for the evening?

Yes; guests can reserve a seat for the four-course dinner in the restaurant, or order off the lounge menu and dine in the lounge. The 6:30 p.m. dinner seating is $100, and the 9:30 p.m. seating is $135 (plus tax and gratuity). We recommend early reservations as this event sells out every year.

Tell me about the highlight of the evening.

The dinner is definitely the highlight! For the first course, diners can choose crispy oysters, cheese tortellini, or shrimp + lobster cocktail. The second course is a choice of crab bisque or kale salad; the third course is a choice of tender beef short rib, herb roasted loin of veal, or blackened ahi; and for dessert, it’s either pear financier or chocolate crème brulee. It’s a wonderful menu with a lot of options. The first three courses are paired with champagne, and dessert is paired with a Belvedere lemon basil martini.
