Partying and Safety Tips for New Year's Celebration

So you're all set for tonight's celebration. Dress, check. Heels, check. Friends, check. Decoration, check. We at Ming Garden Hotel & Residences wishes you the awesomest of celebration but we also want you to practise partying safe.


1. Opt to stay-in 
- If you decide to drink a little more than you should, the best option would be to stay in. This can avoid any unforeseen circumstances may it be on the road or with the authorities. To keep yourself updated, our walk-in rate for tonight will be at RM 248++ (with breakfast for two).


2. Designated drivers (Big Groups)
- Should you come in huge groups, and plan to move around after the party, suggestively, make sure you have designated drivers that will take responsibility in bringing you and your friends to the next destination safe and sound.


3. Get a Cab 
- Say if you're coming alone, and unsure of how to move around after the party, don't worry about it - we have 24 hours Cab service for you and maybe your friends. Keep in mind that there will be extra midnight charges :)


4. Pamper, unwind and relax yourself the next day 
- Odyssey Spa, our in-house spa operator offers 50% OFF on all treatments the next day, Jan 1 and Jan 2. So if you had a pretty rough night or planning to kick-start the year with some sense of clarity and peace, come by 4th Floor and relax. There's a list of treatments here for you to find out. Walk in on these two days, or better yet, reserve with Ben at - +6 019 834 7011. 


5. Want exclusivity? Have dinner 
If big parties are not your cup of tea, then arrange for an exclusive dinner with us at Golden Dew Bistro for RM 85++ per person. Indulge in the yummiest bottomless, of fine dining cuisines and talk about what was of the year over our bottomless coffee and teas as well.  




If you have yet to get one of KK's most-talked about New Year's Countdown Ticket and choose to join us, ask around at Reception and get your tickets at RM 45nett (with first drink, a party pack and lucky draw). We're bringin' the party to Ming Garden!




We at Ming Garden wishes you the best of celebration, and responsible drinking.

Look back on 2011 over our exquisite Wine Buffet @ RM 50

Time flies isn't it? 2011 has showered us with great memorable moments; maybe it was the good friend's wedding, the new birth in the family, the new-much promising career, the great achievement over what seemed a road-blocked problem or maybe, just maybe, an unfortunate loss.

However 2011 turned out to be, what better way to look back and reminisce on the good and trying times of 2011 with your loved ones that have gone through the year with you over our exquisite wine buffet (Wolf Blass Bilyara and Vino Cono Sur). With just RM 50++ per person, come visit us at Rosewood Lounge, Ming Garden to relax, unwind and toast to another interesting year ahead.
