Summer may be winding down but that doesn’t mean your vacation plans have to come to an end. Take advantage of the end of the summer season with a quick getaway to a new destination or enjoy a staycation in your city to explore all the attractions or simply relax and unwind. Either way, these unique last-minute getaways are guaranteed to extend those fun summer vibes and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Last-minute stays
Not ready to let go of summer yet? We hear you. With so many great destinations to explore around the world, sneaking in one more summer vacation is tempting ... and easy. Whether you’re looking for an urban stay that includes a chic terrace pool and cabanas at The Starling Atlanta Midtown, Curio Collection by Hilton or a taste of British charm and elegance in the cozy surroundings at 100 Queen’s Gate Hotel London, Curio Collection by Hilton, there’s so much to discover before fall arrives. So, decide if you want to travel with your bestie, pack for the whole family or simply head out by yourself and make the most of those remaining warm summer days.
Summer staycation
You don’t have to travel far to experience an epic summer getaway. Change it up by taking a well-earned break from your daily routine to enjoy a staycation in your city — it can be just as relaxing as any other vacation ... when you know where to stay. Just ask TikTok user @emaletamal, who posted a video of her and her parents at a hotel on Bainbridge Island that was not the quality they were hoping for. The Hilton social team posted a response video offering to save the day. The team set up a staycation for the whole family at Hampton Inn & Suites Anaheim Resort Convention Center. With a personalized welcome note, an outdoor pool, free hot breakfast, 24-hour coffee bar and much more, the family enjoyed all the comforts of home while still getting time away. Now that’s a quality stay!
Prolong summer
Keep those warm summer memories alive and kicking with an all-inclusive getaway that delivers fun, sun and plenty of late-season perks (hello, fewer crowds!). From Mexico to the Caribbean, there’s a tropical destination just waiting to be explored. Traveling with friends? Hilton Vallarta Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort has an adults-only wing, immersive nightly entertainment and daily cultural activities. Kids in tow? Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa is home to Sugar Mills Falls, one of Jamaica’s largest water parks. And no matter who you’re traveling with, the ultimate relaxation is never far away with a wellness journey at the resort’s spa. Nama-stay!
