On Tuesday 31st December, The Peninsula Shanghai, Riviera Events and MVP Shanghai put together the most prestigious New Year’s Eve party in town.
The JetSet New Year’s Eve party was hosted in one of Shanghai’s most luxurious hotels with the iconic Bund as the backdrop. The location was perfect as guests boarded the elegant express and headed straight to 2014 in style.
The Peninsula was brimming with feathers and frills as glamorous guests adorned the roaring 1920s vintage Gatsby style theme. Jetsetters popped champagne and shimmied across the dance floor to international DJs Luke Lombe from Australia and Maxwell from France who mixed a compilation of 20s inspired music with a modern twist. The party went full swing in true 1920s style as burlesque dancers, a saxophone player and a soulful singer took to the stage.
Gatsby guests were treated to the best views of Shanghai’s illuminated sky at midnight as fireworks exploded across the Huangpu River and confetti glittered above them marking the arrival of 2014.
Plus a prize draw saw lucky jetsetters winning stays Peninsula Hotels worldwide inducing: New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong plus a sunset cocktail cruise on the Peninsula Shanghai Yacht.
It was without a doubt one of the most memorable ways to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Shanghai and we are already looking ahead to the 2014 edition!
