NYE at the QT Rooftop

Overview

If you haven't made New Yar's Eve plans yet and you've started to panic that you're running out of time, don't worry — you don't need to join the hordes of people exiting Tāmaki Makaurau to see in the new year in style.

Welcoming 2023 with bubbles on a rooftop looking out over Waitematā Harbour sound like your idea of a good time? Yeah, we thought so — so the QT Rooftop has you covered.

On December 31 (obviously) the hotel is throwing a New Year's Eve party six stories up. For $169pp, you can see in the new year while overlooking the twinkling lights of the city. You'll also enjoy a glass of champagne on arrival and get to groove from world-famous-in-New-Zealand DJs Peter Urlich and General Lee, alongside Phoebe Falconer and notorious party starter DJ Bontempo.

If you want to really make a weekend out of it, take advantage of the hotel's special Slumber and Party package and start the year as you mean to go on — with a designer sleepover. For $1299, you'll get a night's accommodation for two in a QT Deluxe King, two tickets to the rooftop event and breakfast the next morning to send you on your hungover way — yes, wearing sunglass inside is allowed. Head to the QT website to book your spot.
