13 Best Bachelorette Party Locations for Party Animals

If club heels and a hangover kit are some of the first items you think to have on hand when packing for your bachelorette party, chances are you and your gal pals like to have a good time. In this case, especially, it’s important to choose a “last fling before the ring” location that matches your crew’s personality—ideally one where the music is bumping, the cocktails are flowing and the party don’t stop ‘til...well, you know, until you’re ready to go back home to your soon-to-be spouse.

So rest up, hydrate and pack as many LWDs you can find in your closet before you head to one of these top party-hard destinations for your bachelorette bash.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Naturally this list wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t include the Hangover location itself. There’s no better place to party from dusk ‘til dawn than the quintessential Sin City. While there is no shortage of wild-crazy-fun and totally luxe spots to stay, you can’t go wrong with the Bellagio. Designed to look like a giant Italian villa, the outdoor water show alone will have you mesmerized (seriously, it draws some of the biggest crowds and is synced with the outdoor music system!). On your long list of party to-dos, you’ll want to hit up the Mandalay Bay, where you can experience a wave pool that laps onto actual sand as well as a lazy river (remember, dessert temps can be scorching!). Another must is the music-thumping Marquee DayClub (reservation only!).

New Orleans, Louisiana

For an all-encompassing experience filled with culture, music, food, spirits and fun, New Orleans is the place for brides and their 'maids. Home to the famed Bourbon Street bar scene, where hurricane cocktails and Cajun eats run amok, you’ll find no shortage of fun times and good vibes in this historic city. In the very heart of NOLA, is Le Pavillon, a boutique hotel that combines modern amenities with the old-world elegance you’ll feel all over the city. Choose between their seven distinctly themed suites, such as an Art Deco Suite, European Castle, Oriental Suite and Governors Suite that includes a parlor and wet bar. Before you hit the streets, enjoy some cocktails by the spacious rooftop pool.

If you picture you and your gals beachside for your destination bachelorette party, but prefer to stay stateside, all of your dreams will come true in Miami Beach. Staying on the strip near South Beach is the place to be for party girls who want to sip on poolside cocktails by day and rage into the early morning by night. Where to stay? A guaranteed good time lies within the golden-glam walls of the luxurious Fontainebleau Miami Beach. An hot spot and symbol of style and sophistication, Fontainebleau Miami Beach boasts rooms and guest suites with lavish amenities and shimmering views of the crystal clear Atlantic. During the day, sunbathe on lush cabanas by the oceanfront pool-scape and dine in one of the hotel’s 12 restaurant and lounges. At night, head downstairs to LIV Nightclub, inarguably one of the hottest clubs in Miami.

Atlantic City, New Jersey

As the name implies, you group-cycle your way through the city streets with a keg attached to the caboose (don’t worry, a sober steerer is involved). Stay at W Minneapolis - The Forshay, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is located right downtown in the city center. Head to the 27th floor and take a step back in time with their 1920s-themed Prohibition Bar or the Living Room Bar for a similar old-school feel.

New York, New York

If your girls are ready to party hard until the early morning hours (or straight through ‘till the very next day!), the city that never sleeps is where it’s at. The Meatpacking District, in particular, exudes the true glamour of NYC and is home to some of the best clubs. Start the night off with dinner at MEGU, sitting in the luxuriously plush dining room surrounded by infinity mirrors and mood-changing lighting, enjoy rounds of sushi, Japanese-inspired cocktails, flambéed wagyu steak and flaming chocolate desserts at your table.

The city of London is brimming with clubs, bars, restaurants, you name it—and hangovers are nursed with a brilliant cup of English tea! Stay at The Churchill Hyatt Regency London.

Even better than their afternoon tea room, at The Montagu, you can score Sunday Champagne Brunch, where Pommery Brut Royal Champagne flows as the band plays the hits from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. How lovely? Just remember that the Brits refer to bachelorette parties as “Hen parties,” so don’t get confused and start clucking!
