After the party it's the (hotel lobby)
Stay off the roads and in the party by overnighting it at a very nice hotel.

Party where you sleep Overindulge safely at the W this New Year’s Eve.
We all love you, and the last place we want you to be on New Year’s Eve is on the roads. There’s still time to book a room and party at a great hotel.
Here are four hotel happenings:
Stay at the W Hotel, whose downstairs W Bar is hosting a party with music by DJNB “and friends.” (The friends are, presumably, also DJs). The party is $40 at the door.
Or, reserve a room at the Four Seasons and you’ll have free access to the NYE wingding downstairs at Art Restaurant and Lounge. It goes from 10pm to 2am and there is champagne and food and more music of the DJed variety. (The party is $30 if you’re not staying the night or having dinner at the restaurant).
At the Woodmark Hotel in kirkland, you’ll be welcomed with champagne and accoustic guitar music in the lobby from 7 to 11pm. Free in-room champagne will also be doled out to anyone who opts to upgrade to a suite.
The Sorrento is hosting a jazz band called Miss Rose and Her Rhythmic Percolators from 9:30pm to 12:30am. That’s free and open to all.
If you can’t stay out all night, here are some other New Year’s parties for your consideration.

If you want to go out for a drink on December 25, you need only look here.

Have a cognac in the Fireside Room on Christmas Day.
Here’s a handy little accessory to go with the ever-growing list of bars open on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day: It’s a map populated only by bars open on December 25.
I’ll keep adding open spots through Christmas Eve, then I’m going to open up the Yamazaki 12 Year I’m stashing in my suitcase this year.
After that, no more promises.

*
HOURS: Weekdays from 4 to 6pm
*
PRICES: Food specials between $2 and $4; well drinks and selected wines by the glass $5; beer $4; $7 selected specialty cocktail.
The sun is scheduled to set today at 5:43pm, by Friday that time will have slid back to 5:50pm. This is a trend in the right direction, I get that. However, it does put some urgency into scheduling a happy hour at the Visions Lounge at the Renaissance Hotel.
High in the sky, filled with plush upholstered seating, flanked on two walls with windows boasting views of the skyline and Sound beyond, the Visions Lounge is an old-fashioned (80s) feeling cocktail bar; it looks like a place where the boys from Bosom Buddies might have taken their dates—their lady dates, the ones who don’t know that they are drag queens. There is no absinthe fountain or glass jar full of lemon-infused vodka. The specialty cocktails are made with stuff like Stoli Rasberry and Malibu coconut-flavored rum.
Nevermind those. Happy hour runs from 4 to 6pm on weekdays, right now that means when you scarf down $4 HH apps (fig and prosciutto flatbreads, fried asparagus with Cajun remoulade) while sipping a draft beer for $4 or a glass of wine for $5, you can do so while watching as the setting sun glints up the skyscrapers and throws little pazzazzes of light all over the water.
Time’s awastin’.
