Ready for Thanksgiving? If that question makes your blood pressure head in an upwards direction, make this the year you forgo stressing about pumpkin pie recipes and how many guests your dining room can accommodate. Instead, head out of town and escape to one of these holiday-friendly destinations — and be sure to make dinner reservations before you begin packing.
There’s no chance of early snow or stuffing shortages at Rosewood Baha Mar in Nassau, The Bahamas. Enjoy Thanksgiving dinner in the comfort of your guestroom or suite, with a menu including slow-roasted Cornish hen, spiny/Caribbean lobster stuffing, hibiscus cranberry sauce, and sweet treats like pecan pie or maple chocolate custard.
At The Grand America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City, Chef Xavier Baudinet has put his touch to holiday favorites with his Grand Thanksgiving Brunch and Dinner Buffets. You can even choose the to-go option and enjoy Waldorf salad, maple-glazed roasted turkey breast, slow-cooked brown sugar ham, classic mashed potatoes, crispy Brussel sprouts with Granny Smith apples, Grand American bread pudding with warm rum sauce, pumpkin pie and rolls.
At Four Seasons Vail Resort & Residences, guests who book a stay in a private residence four or more nights Nov. 22–Dec. 7 can look forward to a Thanksgiving spread delivered to their residence, along with a Haute Chocolate-making lesson and cookie-baking session with the property’s pastry team. There’s also private check-in, a bespoke arrival amenity and complimentary laundry service. Residence refrigerators are stocked with non-alcoholic beverage choices, and there’s a spa credit for a wellness treatment in the resort’s recently renovated spa center.
The historic El Capitan Hotel in Merced, California, invites you to enjoy your holiday feast at Rainbird, where fresh ingredients include turkey or ham, classic trimmings, locally grown sweet potatoes and a selection of delectable desserts. Menus also include an array of themed cocktails and mocktails. At the property’s Native Son coffee and cocktail bar, Thanksgiving-themed cocktails are available through Dec. 1, featuring seasonal flavors such as pumpkin spice and spiced rum.
In Chicago’s historic Gold Coast district, Viceroy Chicago’s culinary tribute to Thanksgiving will include a buffet with a turkey-carving station, chuck roast station, salad bar, side dishes, dessert station and plenty more. For guests wishing to enjoy their meal in the luxury of their guest space, on-site Somerset restaurant can provide meal kits for three–four people with half a turkey, side dishes, Pink Lady apple salad, rolls and the choice of one pie. Larger selections of all are available for parties of five–seven people.
The charming boutique Hotel Vermont in Burlington overlooks Lake Champlain, providing a gorgeous setting for Juniper restaurant’s annual Thanksgiving dinner with locally sourced ingredients. Guests can relax with a meal that includes dishes such as slow-roasted, Vermont- grown turkey with savory stuffing and Vermont Cranberry Co. sauce; Brussels sprouts; and creamy mashed potatoes.
