Hotel Valley Ho is once again celebrating the New Year with a retro-themed bash. This swell soiree, titled “Guys And Dolls ‘Til Sputnik Falls”, will feature dancing on the ZuZu patio, dinner at ZuZu, and a champagne toast on the rooftop at midnight for those coming for dinner.

- Swing in the New Year -

On the ZuZu patio, DJ P-Body will be blending music new and old. Party-goers are encouraged to dress in vintage style.

ZuZu will be offering a four-course menu created just for the evening, with pairings from sponsors Veuve Clicquot, Moet & Chandon, and Belvedere Vodka. Diners can choose from two to three options for each course. The 6:30 p.m. seating is $95 per person, and the 9:30 p.m. seating is $125 per person (tax and gratuity not included). Reservations are strongly recommended, as seating is limited. ZuZu staff will have their hair and makeup done to look oh-so-fifties, enhancing the retro vibe.

Those reserving a spot at one of the two dinner seatings will receive a ticket to the Sky Line Rooftop, atop the hotel's seven-story tower, where a complimentary champagne toast will be held at midnight.

- Make a Night of It -

For those wanting to sleep off the evening in mid-century modern comfort, Hotel Valley Ho is offering great room rates; on Friday, December 31, Signature Guest Rooms will be available for $199, and luxe Tower Suites will be available for $409.

Three-night packages are also available. Guests who book any three-night stay that includes December 31 can get a Signature Guest Room Package for $399 or a Tower Suite Package for $999. These include brunch for two on Saturday, January 1 (one entrée and one drink per person), plus a split of Veuve Clicquot upon arrival.
