Most of us have been dreaming about ringing in 2021 since March. But, have you actually made plans yet? If not, let us make our case as to why you should be toasting to a new year with us at our Destin hotel on the beach.

1. We host a low-key, guests-only celebration.

If you stay with us on New Year’s Eve but don’t want to travel elsewhere in Destin to countdown to midnight, we offer a low-key party for our guests. At Henderson Park Inn, we keep the entertainment going without all the loud chaos that usually comes from a New Year’s Eve party. Complete with a complimentary champagne toast and light bites, our guests can ring in the new year playing games and enjoying the company of your travel companion(s).

2. Your safety is our priority.

We know many of you are still cautious with your travel. If you do want to leave your home, we’re the perfect place to visit. At our hotel, we’re still operating under a number of our own policies to help keep our guests and staff safe. Plus, we’re a small, 37-room property, meaning there will only be so many guests here at one time, giving you plenty of space for privacy and to social distance.

3. Fireworks

Fireworks in the sky over the water.Henderson Park Inn’s location is probably the most centrally located Destin hotel on the beach. That being said, you can stand on your room’s balcony, on our main deck or on the beach and catch just about every firework display in the area. From 30A to the Harbor, you can see them all. You won’t be right up on the fireworks, but you will be able to clearly see and enjoy them.

4. Amenities

While we think this is a reason to visit our Destin hotel on the beach at any time, we provide the best amenities around! With your room night, you will enjoy happy hour, community snacks, beach chairs and an umbrella, bicycles and access to Henderson Beach Resort, which includes a resort-style pool, fitness center and state-of-the-art spa.

5. Dinner at Beach Walk Café

One of the best parts of staying at Henderson Park Inn is the convenient access to our in-house restaurant, Beach Walk Café. This award-winning restaurant boasts some of the most delicious food on the panhandle, and with Chef Daniel Peters at the helm, every meal there is spectacular. But, on New Year’s Eve, Beach Walk is featuring a special menu to celebrate. Featuring scrumptious dishes like pan seared scallops and pork belly and snowy grouper, you’re sure to end the year right with this four-course meal. For more information, to see the full menu or secure your reservation, visit Beach Walk Café’s website or call 850-650-7100.
