East Coast Beaches
Try Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, The Hamptons or Cape May for your spring break. Hotels and resorts offer special deals and incentives during off-season months, and although it’s not warm enough to lie on the beach, visitors can enjoy uncrowded beaches, lighthouse viewing, bird watching, museums, historic sites, shopping and dining. For example, rooms at the Chatham Bars Inn that run $1,100 a night in July are only $400 in March and April.
Staycation
Don’t have the time off from work or kids’ schedules don’t jibe? Take a long weekend and explore your backyard. Kimpton Hotels has more than 50 hotels in 24 cities across the U.S. They are offering the Catch a Break This Spring Package at all hotels. The package includes deluxe accommodations and $25 daily dining credit for just $10 more. From Miami to Minneapolis, there are Kimpton Hotels near every major U.S city.
Poshbrood Tip: We love Kimpton Hotels because they are cost effective, extremely family friendly AND you can bring Fido too.
