New Year's Eve at W Brisbane

Overview

If there's ever a time to treat yo'self, it's the end of the year. The very end. The last day, in fact. It's your final chance to soak in everything that 2018 has to offer, whether you're celebrating a stellar 12 months or eagerly looking forward to 2019.

If poolside parties with killer views and plenty of vodka are your idea of treating yo'self — aren't they everyone's? — then W Brisbane has your plans covered for Monday, December 31. Marking the new hotel's latest decadent party for 2018, it's ramping up the shenanigans on the WET Deck. Also on the agenda: tunes spun by Emily Scott, with help from W's music curator Kane Dignum.

For your $220 ticket, you'll also get a four-and-a-half hour food and drink package. Think a welcome glass of Champagne, two different types of cocktails, and a range of wine, beer and cider — plus an oyster bar, king prawns, gin and tonic spheres, a charcuterie and cheese station, three varieties of sliders and four kinds of dessert.

And given the location, you'll be in the perfect spot to peer out over the river when the fireworks start brightening up the sky. The party starts at 8pm, running through 12.30am.
