CHAMPAGNE BY THE SEA: AN EFFERVESCENT NEW YEAR’S CELEBRATION AT THE HOTEL DEL CORONADO

Coronado, CA — With over 120 years of elegant celebrations, the seaside Hotel del Coronado will welcome the arrival of the New Year in the classic enchanting style of the 1940s. The sophisticated grace and effortless charm of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn will be the inspiration for this sparkling evening full of glitter, glamour and a bit of bubbly.

Crown Room Reception and Ballroom New Year’s Eve Gala
The evening will begin with a Chandon reception in the magnificent Crown Room, which will be draped in elegant period decor. A procession will then make its way into the spectacular oceanfront Ballroom that will shimmer and sparkle with beautiful ice sculptures, crystal and sea-inspired aquamarine accents and classic black and white linens. A lavish four-course dinner will be served with wine and Chandon, followed by Hennessey XO and chocolate offerings. The dinner menu will feature items such as Roasted Butternut Squash Bisque, Red Wine Braised Kobe Short Rib and Maine Lobster Tail Fricassee, and Warm Manjari Chocolate Bombe.

Then, sweep across the dance floor to the classic and contemporary sounds of San Diego favorites The Mar Dels. At midnight, ring in 2011 with a Moet & Chandon Imperial champagne toast.
