As the holiday season rolls around, hotels and resorts kick their festive spirit into high gear. They spare no expense, decking their halls with towering trees that scrape the ceiling and gingerbread houses so big they might as well be real estate listings. It’s a visual feast, a social media influencer‘s dream. Who doesn’t want to snap a selfie in front of a life-size gingerbread house?
These extravagant decorations not only draw in guests but also create buzz online—because if it’s not on Instagram, did it even happen? The lights come on, and suddenly, the property transforms. Guests are treated to dazzling light shows and projection mapping that turn facades into moving canvases. It’s like living in a holiday postcard, and it’s all about bringing in the foot traffic.
Extravagant decorations transform hotels into holiday wonderlands, creating Instagram-worthy moments and dazzling light shows that draw in the crowds.
Hotels want warm bodies filling up those rooms, and they make sure to measure their ROI. Package deals, food and beverage sales, social media reach—it’s all part of the holiday hustle. But wait, there’s more! Curated holiday packages simplify the booking process. Forget the hassle of piecing together a trip—hotels bundle rooms, meals, and events like tree lightings and shows. For example, The Broadmoor’s comprehensive programming includes festive dining options and a classic holiday show.
It’s easy. It’s enticing. And yes, it’s a brilliant way to extract every last penny from holiday cheer. Plus, some hotels offer themed suites with amenities that could make a five-star resort blush. Who wouldn’t want a personal concierge and a themed wardrobe for their holiday escape?
Of course, there’s the entertainment. Hotels are chock-full of signature events that draw in both guests and locals. Think Broadway-style shows and festive concerts. It’s not just about the guests; it’s about creating a buzz that echoes through the community. In light of midweek holiday trends impacting occupancy, hotels may need to adjust their offerings to attract more visitors during these challenging periods.
And for families? Breakfast with Santa, cookie decorating, and even visits from the Grinch are on the agenda. Because nothing says “holiday spirit” quite like a man in a red suit handing out cookies. Even the adults get their fair share of holiday magic. Gala dinners and champagne parties target those high-rolling corporate groups, ensuring they have a New Year’s Eve to remember—or forget, depending on how many glasses of bubbly they’ve downed. Much like how bundling home and auto insurance can save money, hotels bundle experiences to maximize value and convenience for their guests.
