The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort is rewriting the script on its classic New Year’s Eve party. This year, the Pink Palace of the Pacific is the setting for “Adventures in Wonderland” at the picturesque Ocean Lawn, Monarch Room and Mai Tai Bar with the best views of the fireworks off Waikīkī Beach at midnight.

The swanky soiree begins at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 31, and promises to be an upscale, posh celebration in true Royal fashion with a grand chefs’ table buffet, acclaimed deejay Teley, dancers all night long, and beachfront views of the fireworks at midnight.
