The Whole Hotel

White Rose Gala takes over The Ritz-Carlton, Denver: ballroom, speakeasy room, and the hallways in between. Book a room through our link and your bed is an elevator ride from the dance floor. No rideshare, no surge, no drive home.

Gatsby, Done Properly

Flapper dresses, feathers, pearls, tuxes and sharp suits. A live swing band in the ballroom, DJs in the speakeasy, showgirls and theatrical performers where you least expect them, and selfie stations built for the outfits.

Midnight Balloon Drop

The countdown happens inside, in the ballroom, with the band and the whole room on the floor. Balloons at midnight, then an hour more before the elevators take over. A good share of the photos on this site come from that stretch.

Thursday Night. Friday Holiday. Three-Day Weekend.

December 31, 2026 is a Thursday and January 1 is a federal holiday, so almost nobody has a morning meeting. The 24th White Rose Gala. GA $82.50 or VIP $139.52, fees included. GA gets you in the door. VIP gets you over half the event.

Discounted rooms at The Ritz-Carlton, Denver through our link while the block lasts.
