Spectacular Hotels Serving a Thanksgiving Feast This Year

While the holidays bring an extra dose of cheer and merriment, the season can also come with an added charge of hustle and bustle, with a rush to get everything done. And although digging out the family heirlooms to serve a sumptuous Thanksgiving meal full of favorite traditional recipes holds a special place in our hearts, there is something to be said for shaking things up a bit. So whether you’re stressing over how to cook a turkey or simply looking for a way to recharge before the cocktail parties and late-night caroling take hold, these hotel escapes and special Thanksgiving feasts may be the plans you’re looking for this year.

1. Aman New York

Begin Thanksgiving with Gratifying Meditation, a guided group meditation at Aman Spa New York as you reflect on what you’re most thankful for this year, and then dig into a delicious meal full of traditional holiday favorites at Arva, the hotel’s authentic Italian restaurant. The feast ends with handcrafted pie offerings, including Classic Pumpkin with Maple Cream, Apple Cranberry Pie, and Chocolate Pecan Pie. Beyond the holiday itself, the hotel is again partnering with the New York City Ballet, which offers an opportunity to peek behind the curtain with an exclusive tour, meet-and-greet with a company artist, and priority access to premier seating. A private movement class led by a New York City Ballet artist in Aman Spa’s Movement Studio will also create a memory to last beyond the holiday season.

2. Zadún Los Cabos, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Head away for a little rest and relaxation in Los Cabos, Mexico at Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. The hotel is offering a special four-course Thanksgiving dinner with live music at Humo, with Thanksgiving-inspired activations all week long. Guests can take part in a festive Turkey Trot obstacle course, pumpkin pie cookie-making, family cooking classes, guided desert hikes, stargazing, and more. Those looking to find a way to reflect during the season of giving thanks can take part in the gratitude meditation and a Thanksgiving-inspired sensory breakfast through a partnership with Sensei.

3. The St. Regis Longboat Key

For a fun twist on a holiday tradition, guests at The St. Regis Longboat Key are invited to partake in a Thanksgiving parade with a distinctly coastal feel. Rather than tune in to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, guests are invited to decorate festive floats before watching them drift down a winding river in the hotel’s floating parade. Then, guests are invited to take in live music and dig into delicious holiday feasts served at both Riva and CW Prime, with separate menus featuring seasonal ingredients, fresh Gulf seafood, delicious desserts, and more.

4. Rosewood London

For those with families who like to travel together, the Rosewood London can connect its houses and suites to create private configurations of up to 15 rooms, making for an elegant alternative to heading home for the holidays. The hotel leans into the feelings of home by offering fully decorated Christmas trees in-room, festive teas at Mirror Room, a family pie masterclass in The Pie Room, and more.

5. The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMAD

In collaboration with the José Andrés Group, The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad, is inviting guests to gather in one of its stunning Penthouse Residences for an elegant feast for up to six guests. Take in the breathtaking city skyline views while enjoying a curated beverage selection and beautifully styled tablescape in a home away from home.
