New Year at The Langham

New Year's Eve is just over a month away and people are starting to seek out the best spots to celebrate the beginning of 2016. A top tip from The Langham, Melbourne is that the hotel boasts some of the best views of the fireworks.

Whether revellers choose to clink Champagne flutes at Alto on the top floor of the hotel or be close to the action at Melba Restaurant, diners will be able to enjoy a generous dinner to fuel a night of dancing at Alto or a virtual endless feast accompanied by live music and dancing at Melba Restaurant.

For those that select to be amongst the crowds after dining there is even an early dinner sitting at Melba from 5pm until 8pm.
