New Years Eve at Haven Rooftop Times Square
Event Description
Ring in 2026 at Haven Rooftop, the glass-enclosed rooftop lounge atop the Sanctuary Hotel half a block from the Times Square ball drop. For winter, Haven transforms into a cozy ski-lodge atmosphere with string lights, plush earth-tone seating, and cedar wood furnishings—all wrapped in heated glass walls delivering Midtown Manhattan skyline views without the December freeze. Private elevator access from the hotel lobby deposits you nine stories above the Theater District chaos. This year-round rooftop destination trades summer French Riviera vibes for winter wonderland energy when the calendar calls for it.
What to Expect
New Year's Eve at Haven Rooftop delivers a five-hour premium open bar with passed hors d'oeuvres circulating from 10 PM to 11:30 PM. Live DJs spin Top 40, pop hits, house, and mashups across the multi-level space. Lower level with dual bars, upper VIP deck for those wanting elevated positioning. Glass walls keep you heated while the Midtown skyline glitters beyond. At midnight, screens broadcast the ball drop happening just steps away, champagne toast in hand. The ski-lodge décor and intimate cabana seating create atmosphere that splits the difference between dance party and cozy celebration.
