Destinations for Thanksgiving

New York

New York Hotels

The Big Apple doesn't do things by halves—and that goes for Thanksgiving, too. Every November, 3.5 million people flock to Manhattan to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and its vibrant floats, making it one of the largest celebrations in the entire country. Worked up an appetite with all that excitement? NYC's world-class restaurants serve a mean Thanksgiving dinner complete with turkey, stuffing, and all the trimmings.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas Hotels

While other places might quiet down for the holiday, Vegas ramps things up a notch. Whether you're keen to see a comedy show, a musical performance, or even Cirque du Soleil, you won't struggle to fill your days during your Thanksgiving getaway to Sin City. And with average November temperatures ranging from 41°F to 68°F, it's not too cold for a stroll down the city's iconic Strip, either.

New England

Mount Washington Hotels

Thanksgiving is a prime opportunity to unplug and unwind—and where better to do so than historic New England? One of the tallest mountains on the East Coast, Mount Washington promises serene scenery and unforgettable views over this historic region. Away from the summit, expect rustic cabins, charming countryside, and cozy inns offering a taste of timeless Americana to mark the holiday.

Yosemite

Yosemite Hotels 

If you love the great outdoors, a Thanksgiving trip to Yosemite will be right up your alley. This national park is often slightly quieter in November than at peak summer times, meaning you'll have its 800 miles of trails almost to yourself. Plus, the cooler fall temperatures make for more pleasant hiking conditions—so there's nothing stopping you from scaling its iconic Half Dome.

Do people stay in hotels for Thanksgiving?

Countless people spend the Thanksgiving period in a hotel—and for good reason. There's no cooking or cleaning to contend with, and plenty of space for even the biggest families to come together and enjoy the holiday as a group. And with most hotels offering Thanksgiving specials, you needn't worry about a lack of atmosphere, either: Many properties pull out all the stops to make Thanksgiving one of the most memorable days of the year.

 

Is it cheap to travel during Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving can be a surprisingly affordable time to travel, if you're prepared to be flexible. Lots of hotels run cut-price Thanksgiving hotel deals, offering reduced room rates or all-in packages to attract travelers looking for a bite-sized 1-night break. It's worth keeping an eye out for last-minute bargains, too: Hotels with vacancies often slash their prices to fill their last remaining rooms—meaning that you could enjoy a Thanksgiving getaway for less.

 

Why is Thanksgiving dinner so expensive in hotels?

From turkey to stuffing, sweet potato casserole to pumpkin pie, Thanksgiving dinner is a veritable feast—and it can come at a corresponding cost. Alongside its countless components (which require no small amount of work by kitchen staff), the meal's price tag is also impacted by staffing expenses on a day when servers would prefer to be at home with their families. In exchange, though, you get to enjoy all of the Thanksgiving food we know and love—with none of the cooking or cleaning up.

Where to go on Thanksgiving weekend?

From catching up with your extended family to detaching from the daily grind, there are all kinds of options for a 2-night hotel stay over the holiday weekend. Beach breaks in destinations such as Key West and Destin are popular picks for intergenerational Thanksgiving getaways, as relatives old and young can swim, snorkel, and sunbathe to their heart's content in balmy temperatures, whereas couples looking for a weekend of unplugged downtime often head to national parks like Yellowstone or Acadia to escape the crowds.
