here are cities we will forever associate with welcoming a New Year: The first fireworks in Sydney, the street parties of Rio, and Big Ben’s iconic chiming in London. However, there are a multitude of other cities and ways to ring in the New Year across the globe, from the established destinations long used to showing us a good time, to less on the radar locations gathering momentum in the luxury market with high-end hotel launches worthy of stylish celebrations.

We have chosen four city destinations for consideration when welcoming 2018, from the traditional Hogmanay of Edinburgh, through the romance of Buenos Aires, the classicality of Copenhagen and the growing eclectic appeal of Jerusalem. All offer something different but equally exciting for the New Year, and all offer stylistically diverse luxury hotel options. Of course, the spectacle of the celebrations also allows for added flamboyance with style choices, whatever your sartorial preference. For Christmas and New Year party dressing, take your pick from designers’ exclusive holiday collections, or prespring and resort, designed to bridge the holiday season gap. To make things even easier, we have included city tips: where to eat, party and shop, in addition to where to stay and what to wear in each city.

So wherever you welcome in 2018, it’s never been easier to do it in style.
