Want to finish out 2021 in the coolest way possible? Consider popping bottles with your crew in an igloo, and you donāt even have to travel anywhere cold and snowy.
How? At Juniper, the AC Hotelās rooftop bar, thatās how. If you didnāt snow, Juniper is fully embracing the fact that winter is coming by transforming its Secret Cocktail Garden into a winter wonderland, complete with several igloos.

Each of the three igloos will feature a different interior design + will showcase a different champagne sponsor ā Veuve Clicquot, MoĆ«t Chandon, or Dom Perignon.
You + up to seven friends can reserve an igloo for up to two hours and reservations are available now. (Be sure to peep the dates featuring a yellow ticket to reserve an igloo.)

The igloos arenāt the only thing thatās festive about Juniper this month.
Besides its stunning interior decor, it also plans to kick off 2022 in style with its ā22 With a View NYE party, featuring special performances, a prepaid bar + food stations, and a champagne toast to ring in the new year.
Check out the details of the party and be sure to make a reservation while they last.
