Top Luxury Venues in London for New Year's Eve 2024

As the last gift is unwrapped and the tinsel settles, attention inevitably shifts to the next big event of the year: New Year’s Eve. And with that comes the familiar frenzy of trying to pin down where to spend it. Should we go to yours or mine? Fight the crowds at a bar or club? Or squeeze our way down the Southbank for a glimpse of the fireworks? Some prefer a quiet night at home with a takeaway, ready to eat grapes under the table as the clock strikes midnight. While others save their sequins for this one night, dazzling in the corner of somewhere lavish. In this guide, we’ve rounded up eight of London’s luxury venues. Each offering a uniquely upscale way to ring in 2025. Whether you’re after the classic glamour of The Dorchester, a more intimate and stylish setting in Chelsea, or a Shoreditch party with a focus on the music. We’ve got your New Year’s Eve sorted, no matter how last-minute your plans may be.

The Dorchester - For Classic Luxury

Down Park Lane, few venues exude classic luxury quite like the high-ceilinged elegance of The Dorchester. This New Year's Eve, the hotel offers two distinct yet equally opulent celebrations across its renowned dining venues. At The Grill by Tom Booton, indulge in a decadent three-course early dinner from 6 to 7:30pm for £160, or elevate your evening with a six-course tasting menu from 8pm for £290, both complemented by optional wine pairings. For a more extravagant experience, The Promenade presents a seven-course feast for £650 per person, paired with a glass of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut and a curated wine flight chosen by Head of Wines Matteo Furlan. After dinner, continue the revelry at Vesper Bar, channel your inner James Bond with a signature Vesper martini, and welcome the New Year with Champagne in hand until 2am.

Nestled within Westminster’s iconic Great Scotland Yard Hotel, this is the first UK restaurant from Michelin-starred chef Niklas Ekstedt. Known for his mastery of traditional Nordic cooking techniques, Ekstedt is offering a six-course feast where smoky bites and bold flavours reign, with most dishes cooked over open flame. At £155 per person and last seating at 9:30pm.

Paper Moon at The OWO - For Truffle Temptation

It’s safe to say that black truffle has become less of a rarity in recent years. Once it appears on pizza chain menus, it’s elusive allure becomes hard to maintain. White truffle, however, remains a different story entirely. With its supply dwindling and demand rising, this delicacy only grows wildly in a few valleys of Northern Italy and the Balkans. And for connoisseurs who seek rarity on their plate, Paper Moon at The OWO is offering a truffly treat for this New Year's Eve. The exclusive four-course white truffle menu celebrates this precious ingredient in every dish, set against the elegant backdrop of The OWO on Whitehall and complemented by live Italian entertainment. Whether you opt for the early seating (5:30–6:15pm) or later (8:30–9:15pm), you’ll ring in the New Year with a glass of Franciacorta ALMA Gran Cuvée Brut. A sophisticated entrance to 2025, where exceptional gastronomy takes centre stage.

Book a table at Paper Moon at The OWO and indulge in a menu of White Truffle.

The Landmark - For a Verdant Setting

The Landmark is no ordinary hotel. With palm trees soaring beneath bevelled glass ceilings, it presents more of a Las Vegas flair than a Marylebone address. Bid adieu to 2024 in style at its Winter Garden Restaurant, where an enchanting indoor garden oasis awaits for £225 per person.

Indulge in a luxurious three-course dinner from 7:00pm to 9:30pm, starting with a delicate Hamachi Carpaccio, followed by a rich Beef Wellington made with Dry Aged Fillet, and finishing with a decadent Baked Valrhona Chocolate Cheesecake. Enveloping you in a verdant design, this serene space offers a welcome escape. Take a deep breath, sip your bubbly, and remember—New Year’s feels far less daunting when you're surrounded by greenery.

Book a table for a botanical evening at The Landmark, and extend your night with a lavish stay in one of the hotel's rooms or suites.
