Not that you need an excuse to celebrate dad or the father figure in your life, but Father’s Day is as good a time as any to shine the spotlight on fatherhood and show your appreciation. Whether your dad prefers a secluded getaway in paradise, a birthday bash in Miami or the ultimate urban retreat, taking a trip together is a great way to connect and recharge. So, pack your gratitude and get ready for a memorable, celebratory getaway with the father figure in your life.
Cookie's galore
When two of your dad’s favorite things are football and DoubleTree Cookies, there’s only one thing to do to ensure he has an unforgettable vacation. Influencer @kickballdad’s daughter Alyssa contacted Hilton about celebrating her dad’s birthday with a trip to Miami to see the city’s football team play. Hilton’s social media team swooped into her DMs and provided the father-daughter duo with an epic stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay, complete with customized welcome gifts ... and extra cookies, of course! After a fun-filled getaway exploring the Magic City and all the amenities at their hotel, Alyssa and her dad shared their Miami adventure on social media and expressed their appreciation for the truly memorable (and cookie-filled) birthday bash. Now that's what we call a sweet stay!
Secluded paradise
Who could pass up an opportunity to unwind in paradise? Not us! Spoil your dad (and yourself) with a sun-soaked vacation to an all-inclusive resort and you’re guaranteed to be his favorite person for years to come. Disconnect from the ordinary at Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort, the perfect sanctuary for relaxation, rejuvenation and pure bliss — not to mention incredible dining, ocean views and daily activities. Elevate your stay even further by booking an Enclave room for the ultimate experience, including private check-in, access to exclusive pools and the Enclave Lounge, priority reservations at on-site dining outlets and rooms with exclusive amenities.
City slicker
If the father figure in your life loves history, culture and deep-dish pizza, then a getaway to Chicago is a must. Stay at Hilton Chicago to be in the heart of the Windy City and within walking distance of Soldier Field to catch a game or enjoy a concert. Overlooking Grant Park, the hotel is in the Pilsen neighborhood, which is known for its culturally rich arts community and vibrant dining scene. Spend a few hours with dad exploring the nearby Art Institute of Chicago before grabbing lunch at the hotel’s traditional Irish pub, Kitty o’Sheas, where you can savor farm-to-fork Irish fare. After touring the city or taking a leisurely walk along famed Michigan Avenue or a bike ride along the Chicago River waterfront, end the day with a classic deep-dish pizza; the city is bursting with amazing foodie options. Sweeten dad’s day even more by treating him to a brownie from Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel — the iconic hotel where it was invented — it’s guaranteed to earn you some serious brownie points.
