10 New Year's Resolutions We'd Like Hotels to Stick To in 2011
The New Year is practically upon us and while we are furiously scribbling our own list of New Year's Resolutions (#1. Take down the Justin Bieber poster, #2. Learn to interact with people IRL, not just on Twitter) we thought we'd lend a helping hand to hotels with their own list of New Year's Resolutions. We know, we're too kind!
10 Resolutions We'd Like Hotels To Stick To in 2011
Free hotel WiFi on our iPad (#hotelgeekwetdream)
1. Free WiFi: You know how we feel about free WiFi--it should be free in all hotels, not just the budget motels, and it should be working. There's nothing we hate more than booking a hotel because it has free WiFi, only to find out it doesn't work. (Ugh and don't even get us started on pay-for WiFi that doesn't work.)
2. Reasonable Rates: There's been a lot of talk lately about hotel rates creeping back up after the economic crash down of 2008/2009 but we're hoping that hotels can restrain themselves from overeager price-gouging. After all, we've been having so much fun staying in hotels the past two years because rates were so doable. Please don't take that away from us!
3. Clean Rooms: Because we're getting tired of finding dark hairs in the bathtub. Really.

Ring in 2011 in Honolulu with the Kahala's First Pineapple Drop
The ball drop in Times Square is so last decade—you know it's true when it's all about gimmicks like putting Jersey Shore guidette Snooki inside of the lit-up ball, hamster-style. The New Year's Eve tradition that's fistpump-free for 2011 is the first-time pineapple drop at the Kahala Hotel & Resort in Honolulu.
The only celeb who might make an appearance is President Obama, who is vacationing in Hawaii with his family.

Lauryn Hill to Sing at Gansevoort Park This New Year's Eve
The NY Post reports today that singer/part-time recluse Lauryn Hill will do a rare, live set at the Gansevoort Park's rooftop this New Year's Eve as the kick-off to their new music series "Live at Gansevoort Park." (See what you have reaped Rose Bar Sessions!
Yet while Hill's "Ex-Factor" might be, without a doubt, one of the best songs in the entire universe of music, we're a little surprised that the Gansevoort has gone with Lauryn for such a big night considering that she hasn't been so reliable in recent years regarding live performances.
But with Gansevoort expecting to live-stream the concert, we guess we can see for ourselves how she fares, without ever having to leave our home. You can do it girl!

Double Your New Year's Eve Partying Pleasure at the W Dallas

Feel Like Spending New Year's With Broadway? Then Head to Morocco!
All week long, we'll be fantasizing about some of the Over The Top New Year's Eve events and packages that ritzy hotels are putting together. Who knows? Maybe one of you moneybags out there will invite us to party with you! Know of an OTT hotel package for NYE? Send it to us!
After its big re-opening bash last November, we already know that La Mamounia in Marrakech knows how to party. So it seems like a logical--and completely OTT--place to spend New Year's Eve.
Now, we're guessing SJP won't be there, but there will be stars of a kind--the hotel is flying in the cast of the musical The Best of Broadway (from New York, London and Oslo) to perform a single show on December 31.

Party at Hilton San Diego Bayfront on NYE to Snag $199 Rooms
One of the biggest New Year's Eve parties in San Diego goes down in the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. Big Night San Diego will feature 12 party areas, six dance floors and plenty of music to keep you dancing through 2012. But the best perk of attending the big bash is that you can get a discount on a room.
Rooms are available for as low as $199 on New Year's Eve for Big Night revelers. It's an ideal deal if you plan on hitting the hotel bash—though you'll have to pony up $120 a ticket to attend. You can just stumble into your room after you've had one too many.

Celebrate New Year's Eve Barrymore Style At That Chatwal New York

When talking OTT New Year's, you absolutely know for sure that New York City is one place to zero in on. Even still, the NYE offers at The Chatwal managed to blow our socks off.
We're not talking about the glam party at The Lambs Club either--although that does sound lovely, with its cocktails and canapes in The Lobby Bar, a three-course dinner at the restaurant, a Krug champagne toast at midnight and dancing in The Lounge with an open bar until 2 a.m.

How's this for OTT--a poolside party to ring in 2011 with one of the year's breakout stars? Drake had a helluva 2010, with his debut album Thank Me Later going platinum and snagging him a Grammy nomination.
Now, if you've got somewhere between $400 and $10,000, you can help him celebrate the year that was and welcome the new one ahead at the W South Beach.

Celebrate New Year's Eve At Viceroy Miami Then Recover By The Pool The Next Day
All week long, we'll be fantasizing about some of the Over The Top New Year's Eve events and packages that ritzy hotels are putting together. Who knows? Maybe one of you moneybags out there will invite us to party with you! Know of an OTT hotel package for NYE? Send it to us!
New Year's parties are fun and all, but we have to applaud a hotel that thinks about what we're going to need the morning after when planning their New Year's Eve package.
So, while the All About Viceroy NYE package at Viceroy Miami is pricey, it gets a thumbs up for a thorough itinerary that includes recovery with a captial R.
Here's what's included for the two-night package for two people:

Let's get serious, now. We're almost halfway through December. What to do on New Year's Eve? If you've got cash to burn and feel like going OTT, you may want to consider the Mandarin Oriental New York. Not surprisingly, MONY is not just throwing a party to ring in 2011, but a gala.
First you'll need to dust off your tux or ballgown, because this is a black-tie affair. It all begins at 7 p.m. in the hotel's 36th floor ballroom overlooking Central Park. There'll be butlers on hand passing hors d’oeuvres and a premium open bar to get things underway. Then it's time for a 4-course dinner that includes Iranian caviar, foie gras, Maine lobster and filet mignon.
Post-dinner dancing will follow, with music by the Harris Lane Orchestra. The price for such fun and frivolity? Just $1,000 plus tax and gratuity!

Help Charity and Have a Happy Hogmanay at the George Hotel in Edinburgh
Hogmanay fireworks
If there’s one place we’d love to have a blowout on New Year’s Eve, it’d be Edinburgh. Which is unfortunate, because it means we’re sorely tempted by the deal that the George Hotel has going for Hogmanay right now.
It’s auctioning off its massive Panorama suite – which comes with a roof terrace looking over Edinburgh Castle and across as far as Fife – for the 31st. And, even more winningly, it’s in aid of charity, too.
