Of course, if you want to stay inside, the Victorian Hotel has you covered. With plenty of luxurious amenities, you can spoil yourself rotten in preparation for 2018!
Remember to plan your New Year’s celebrations in advance before the venues fill up. And don’t forget, the streets will be crowded, so make sure you have a plan to get back safe and sound. After a bit too much good cheer, having a hotel downtown really helps.
