Celebrate NYE in style at Hotel Monte Mulini in Croatia

This New Year's Eve the five-star Hotel Monte Mulini has teamed up with American jazz singer and songwriter Simone, daughter of the musical icon Nina Simone, to host a special celebration.

The night will include an exclusive performance by Simone - her first ever in Croatia - followed by a sumptuous seven-course menu in the hotel's Restaurant Mediterraneo.

Simone, a multi-talented artist in her own right, has an incredible vocal range which has received praise from music lovers all over the world.

The special menu, created by Executive Chef Tomislav Greti?, includes regional delicacies such as heady white truffles, freshly caught seafood and foie gras. Each course can be complemented by the hotel's impressive selection of 550 award-winning Croatian and international wines, recommended by Sommelier Emil Perdec.
