You're Invited: An Affair to Remember at The Jefferson

We'll admit it. Deacon sometimes plays favorites, and The Jefferson is one of them. It is, in our humble opinion, the classiest hotel in DC. Which explains why IF we were doing a big NYE celebration we'd be headed here for the second annual New Years Eve Celebration at Quill , the hotel’s elegant cocktail lounge, on Dec. 31, 2010 from 10 p.m.–2 a.m. Guests will enjoy an evening of expertly crafted cocktails featuring Chopin Vodka and will toast the New Year with Krug Champagne.

Quill’s terrace will feature a complimentary Mulled Wine station and will be the perfect spot for cigars and cognac to keep warm in the cool night air. Inside, tempting libations by Quill’s expert team of mixologists will add to the evening’s festivities while musician Peter Robinson will perform throughout the evening on Quill’s piano.  At midnight, guests will be invited onto the terrace to watch as bottles of Champagne are cut open simultaneously by saber to ring in the New Year.

For $75, guests receive admission to the party, complimentary Mulled Wine on the terrace and a Krug toast and passed canapés at midnight. For $125, revelers are guaranteed a private table in Quill’s lounge area, which will feature individual raw bar displays. They will also be privy to a tasting of three Special Club Champagnes. Considered among the best in the world, each Special Club Champagne must follow a strict set of guidelines outlining how the grapes are grown, crushed and fermented to ensure only the best is bottled.

The Jefferson’s Cabinet rooms, featuring luxurious leather seating, flat screen televisions and more, are located just off of Quill.  They will be combined as an exclusive enclave for up to 10 guests, reserved for $1,500, which includes a private raw bar display as well as a Jeroboam of Krug.  In addition to their private retreat, guests of the Cabinet rooms enjoy access to all of Quill’s festivities.
