Tokyo's Mandarin Oriental Rings In 2010 With All-You-Can-Drink Moet

The new year in Japan, or "Shogatsu," is typically a time of praying and visiting holy sites, but since our holy sites are the best hotels in town, we figured spending Shogatsu partying it up at the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo is an acceptable option. And the good news is, you don't have to pay the $765-and-up that rooms are going for during the holiday weekend to partake in the festivities.

Instead, we recommend making reservations for the 10pm-to-1am party at the hotel's 37th floor Mandarin Bar. At $163 per person, you'll save $600 by not opting for the room, and yet you'll be guzzling unlimited Moet & Chandon champagne, including Rosé Impérial, and Brut Impérial. Not to mention you'll have the stunning view over the city and—hopefully—new friends with whom to dance the year away.

If you still want to visit the temples or take advantage of the special openings of the Imperial Palace grounds, then you can use all that saved money to perhaps hire a car to take you around on New Year's Day, while you recover from your hangover in the back seat.

To reserve a spot at the Mandarin Bar, call +81 (3) 3270 8188 or email motyo-fbres(at)mohg.com.
