Crystal at The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur
Known for hosting the longest firework show in the city, The St Regis KL will light up KL’s skyline with 600 shots of fireworks for a total of eight minutes — that’s plenty of time to pose for that perfect #2020 group shot. Secure a private table or cabana (with a minimum spend) by the pool and dance under the stars as the DJ sets the scene for a spectacular countdown. The cover charge is RM98+ per person including one selected drink.

The table for six includes Perrier Jouet Grand Brut, Perrier Jouet Blason Rose, and a bottle of selected whisky, gin or vodka (choose from Maccallan 12 years, Glenlivet 12 years, Monkey 47 Dry Gin, Monkey 47 Sloe Gin or Absolut Elyx).

Situated right beside the Petronas Twin Towers, Marini’s on 57 offers a front row seat to the midnight illuminations. But the view isn’t the bar’s only highlight — Parisian-born DJ-producer Erik Hagleton will be manning the DJ booth that night and lay down a dynamic mix of house and tech house music, bringing a euphoric energy to the dance floor. The theme for this year’s party is ‘striking colours’, so don your brightest ensemble and ring in the new year in style. The RM150nett cover charge includes a glass of wine, spirit, Franciacorta Rose or a bottle of Heineken beer. For the bottle services, choose from a list of four here.

Equator Club lounge and Blue at EQ Kuala Lumpur
Instead of travelling from restaurant to bar, skip the jam and spend the evening at just one spot. EQ KL’s Equator Club lounge will be serving handcrafted cocktails from 8pm to 9.30pm — perfect for your group to gather for dinner. For the main action, proceed to bespoke speakeasy Blue (we’ll let you figure out your way in) at Sky51 to be serenaded by the live band and internationally acclaimed singer Donny Ray Evins or head out to the open-air rooftop lounge and dance the night away with the DJ at the upper deck. A panoramic view of KL Tower and Petronas Twin Towers offers the ultimate backdrop to the fireworks show.
RM588 per person will get you free flow of house wines, pours and beers including canapés, seafood on ice and cocktails at Equator Club lounge as well as complimentary access to the Sky51 after party. Drinks at Blue and VIP upper deck will be at bar price.
