NEW YEARS EVE - ALGONQUIN INN STYLE

Traditionally, New Years Eve at the Algonquin Inn has been a quiet affair. Loud parties and the hustle and bustle and night life of the city is left behind. Guests seeking a peaceful and perhaps a romantic weekend, with friends and or a loved one is what it is all about.

Rooms with snowy lakeside views, a great New years Eve dinner in our Dining room followed by a ring side seat to fireworks over the lake.

If this sounds like the New Years Eve for you this year, book now to avoid dissapointment and get the room or suite of your choosing.
