Hotel & vacation guide
Planning a Hotel Staycation
A staycation works best when the hotel or neighborhood offers something meaningfully different from home.
Planning note: Hotel rates, policies, amenities, construction, transportation and local conditions change. Use this guide to compare options, then verify current details with the property, booking provider and official local sources before travel.
Choose experience over distance
A pool, spa, walkable dining district, theater area or historic property can create the feeling of a trip within the same region.
Treat it like travel
Plan one or two activities and avoid turning the stay into ordinary errands.
Watch parking and fees
Local hotels can still have destination or parking charges. Compare total stay cost for the short visit.
