We're only days away from Christmas so we figure why not just load up on hotels that are in the holiday mood? Every day until Christmas we'll be featuring a hotel's holiday decorations whether it be with gigantic gingerbread houses, over-the-top Christmas trees, thrilling lighting displays and best of all, Santa appearances.
National Gingerbread House Day has come and gone but the Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Resort & Spa has a giant gingerbread display up through the holidays. And true to its location, along Singer Island just 15 minutes from Palm Beach proper, the resort has chosen a life-sized gingerbread surf shack.
Upon stepping foot into the resort’s grand lobby, guests will be greeted by a holiday display that begs for an Instagram-worthy selfie. A giant, colorfully lit Christmas tree is set next to a life-sized gingerbread beach shack that will bring out the child in guests young and young-at-heart. Made of gingerbread and featuring surfboards and its own giant palm tree, the oversized shack took over 1,000 hours to complete. 1,800 gumballs, 110 eggs and over 34 pounds of sugar were used to create the gingerbread confection.
If you're planning on staying here through January 31, 2020, the resort is putting together a special kids baking package with the resort's executive pastry chef. The overnight package includes a two-hour private lesson with Chef Kursten Restivo who will let children experiment with the latest trends and seasonal items to make their own festive treats. Rates start at $709 a night. Use code YX1 to book.
Or if you just want to spend the night without a baking lesson, book through Trips + Giggles and you'll get daily breakfast for two and a special welcome amenity. Email your dates and we'll check the rates right away!
