It won’t be cheap to get into Tampa Edition on New Year’s eve, but the hospitality and entertainment at the Bay area’s only five-star hotel is unrivaled.

Expect a primo open bar, top-notch food, champagne and a ballroom concert from funk legend Kool & the Gang. Last year’s party was a luxurious affair without the pretense, and don’t expect the Edition team to mess with the formula too much when it rings in 2024.

Tickets to the Tampa Edition’s New Year’s Eve festivities—happening from 9 p.m.-2 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 31—cost $599 each and can be purchased on OpenTable.com
