Known as the unofficial end of summer, Labor Day is a prime time to embrace the long weekend and take the opportunity to explore a new city. From stylish suites for extended family, to fan-favorite attractions and local cuisine, Marriott International opens the door to cultural and undiscovered experiences this holiday for foodies, families, friends, and fans across the USA and from Canada to Mexico.
Foodie Nation
Denver, CO – The city’s reputation as a foodie destination has evolved in recent years. From chef-owned restaurants to locally-sourced ingredients to appearances on national television shows, it is worth adding the city to your culinary wish list. Beyond the typical dining experience, plan a morning exploring the city’s coffee culture including some local roasts, and then spend the afternoon on the Denver Beer Trail. The city has more than 100 distilleries, breweries, and tap rooms. Finish the evening at the new Le Méridien Denver Downtown, which will offer aperitivo hour every day throughout the Summer, backgammon and rosé in The Lobbyist bar on Sundays, and vintage summer cinema on Mondays, all as part of Au Soleil: Summer Soiree by Le Méridien.
Charlotte, NC – Travelers can get a taste of Southern cuisine at The Ballantyne, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Charlotte. Enjoy a progressively Southern approach to new American cuisine at Gallery Restaurant, sip the hotel’s private beer selection with sweeping views at Veranda, or savor Afternoon Tea offered on select days. After a culinary tour, guests can enjoy resort-style amenities such as golf, spa, and pools or head out to see Charlotte’s 19th Annual Labor Day Parade.
Family Fun
Anaheim, CA – Anaheim is synonymous with one of the most sought-after family experiences in the country: Disneyland! Families can end summer on a high note at the Anaheim Marriott, offering a seamless stay and park experience with the Discover Disneyland package, including accommodations, self-parking, shuttle for two adults and two kids to Disneyland, and $100 Disney Gift Card per night. Labor Day marks the start of Disneyland’s Halloween Season and traveling families can be the first to see what the park has in store.
Montréal, Canada– Families should look north for a stylish Labor Day getaway and check-in to one of W Montréal’s Wow Suites. The Bold Suites promotion includes food and beverage credits, which the family can use at the on-site fusion restaurant Nom Nom, or W Bartizan lounge. The whole crew can take advantage of the summer-to-fall weather with an Old Montréal Walking Tour, or head to one of the city’s famed museums and exhibits for an educational spin on the trip.
Atlanta, Georgia – Families who have been to Atlanta might be familiar with popular attractions like the Georgia Aquarium but should also consider exploring the College Football Hall of Fame, SCAD Museum of Art, and the Atlanta BeltLine. Get to know the Hollywood of the South and the unexpected in Atlanta with interesting neighborhoods like Inman Park, Decatur, and Virginia Highlands.
