The party takes place on the 7th floor of the Sorrento, in the swanky Penthouse and adjacent Top of the Town ballroom. When the Sorrento first opened in 1909, the windows in Top of the Town offered the highest lookout in the city.
The outdoor Penthouse terrace will be exclusive to VIP ticket holders.
