The holiday season is a time for hotels to blow away guests with extravagant lighting displays, lush foliage, and the spirit of cheer and joy that music, lights and traveling alongside friends and family can bring. This year, we at Warp and Phil came up with our top 5 picks for most festive hotel decor, inside and out! Prepare to be inspired…
The Roosevelt Hotel | New Orleans, LA
The city-block-long Waldorf Wonderland lobby contains 44 Christmas trees, 135,572 lights, 3,328 feet of winter branches, 2,200 glass ornaments, and 698 hand-tied bows. This gorgeous display showcases the best of New Orleans and the holidays, and was kicked off on December 3rd with the annual lobby lighting celebration, where Trombone Shorty - the hotel’s official lobby lighter for 2019 - flipped the switch on the sparkling display, bringing cheer to The Roosevelt Hotel in spades.
Fairmont Princess Scottsdale | Scottsdale, AZ
Christmas at the Princess is as beautiful as ever in the Fairmont Princess Scottsdale. While you’re enjoying the glowing view of the decor, you can go ice skating and watch colorful light shows in the Enchanted Plaza, or roast marshmallows and take a picture with Santa Claus. Then, it’s all aboard the Princess Express Train to see 2.8 million LED lights on the lagoon, along with swans and even a pirate ship! Plus, you can step into a deluxe, brightly lit Igloo and take the most magical photos.
Willard InterContinental | Washington D.C.
Between nightly caroling performances by local choral groups, the 8.5 feet by 5 feet gingerbread display of the Jefferson Memorial, and the majestic 20-foot Christmas tree, the Willard InterContintental is a joy to experience during the holidays. All the whimsical decor throughout the hotel only serves to enhance the festivities! Don’t forget to collect the Willard Christmas ornament keepsake for 2019 while you’re there.
Bellagio | Las Vegas, NV
Inside the Bellagio Las Vegas Holiday Conservatory and botanical gardens, the grand holiday display includes a live 42-foot long white fir tree covered in lights and ornaments, giant nutcrackers, massive stacks of presents and ornaments, and a fun, festive narrative including elves decorating the Queen’s room in beautiful holiday decor. In addition, several Coca-Cola polar bears frolic and play in the winter wonderland!
The Jefferson Hotel | Richmond, VA
Beginning with the 33rd annual Tree Lighting on December 2nd, the Jefferson Hotel has been decked out in thousands of lights, dozens of toy soldiers, and hundreds of lush poinsettias with garland and ribbon, promising a memorable stay in the grand and festive hotel.
