With family or friends, at home or traveling, New Year’s Eve is a night of celebration in all around the world. Same purpose but with different traditions depending on where you are.

Here are some New Year’s Eve traditions in some of the Axel Hotels destinations.

The twelve lucky grapes, the Spanish tradition
In Spain there is a tradition of eating 12 grapes at the same time that the 12 chimes sound, it’s time to practice if you think you can’t fit them all in your mouth. It is said that its origin is in Alicante since 1909 because there was an excess of harvest.


At Axel Hotel Barcelona you can enjoy a privileged view at the Sky Bar of the midnight fireworks, the party to kick off the new year and a dinner with a unique Nikkei experience. See menu and event.


If you came to AxelBeach Maspalomas to escape the cold we are waiting for you with a Gourmet Dinner at the hotel’s Sky Bar + Live DJ. More info.


Eating the grapes at the Puerta del Sol in Madrid is a unique experience and has already become one of the almost essential traditions of all Spanish and even foreigners.


So if you are staying at Axel Hotel Madrid at this time of the year, we offer you the special New Year’s Eve dinner by Miu and start the New Year with the most erotic Cabaret in the city at El Bala Perdida Club. View menu and event.

A piggy as a charm, German tradition
If a German gives you a miniature pig or a chimney sweep, don’t panic, the intention is good, they are just wishing you good luck in the coming year. It is also common for them to give clovers or horseshoes.


If you are one of those who like the cold and the snow and you came to the city of Berlin… we are waiting for you at Axel Hotel Berlin and TWO Hotel Berlin by Axel, the meeting point with the best gay location in the city.

Welcome the year dressed in white
This is one of the traditions of Brazilian origin that they also do in Cuba in addition to including pork in the dinner on the 31st.


So, if you are staying during these dates at Telégrafo Axel Hotel Havana, we are waiting for you with your best white outfit to have dinner with us at the hotel’s restaurant and welcome 2023.

The most romantic tradition is in the USA
Giving a kiss just after the last bell rings for good luck in the coming year, a very American tradition that began in Roman times, where in the festival of Saturnalia everyone kissed each other.


If you are one of those who came to South Beach looking for a warmer weather, we are waiting for you at the Sky Bar of AxelBeach Miami to say goodbye to the old year and start the new one with a kiss.

Axel Hotels wishes you Happy Holidays and a gorgeous New Year!
