Here are our top hotel picks for Chinese New Year. It goes without saying that most top hotels will book way in advance, so the earlier you start your search the better!
The two main events of the Chinese New Year celebrations are the New Year's Day Parade and the Fireworks display on the 2nd day of the New Year. Check out our CNY Page for all events and dates for this year's celebrations.
