If the idea of sharing a roof with all of your relatives for a solid week is making you feel more stuffed than a Thanksgiving turkey, we suggest starting a new tradition: Book a stay at one of VisitGreenvilleSC’s recommended hotels for the holidays. 🛎️

Reserve the feeling of having too much on your plate for the dinner table + give yourself the space you need by booking a room for your visitors (or yourself — forget trying to squeeze into a twin bed for a week to free up the guest room).

For a luxury stay with pre- or post-Thanksgiving dinner self-care:

The Westin Poinsett, 120 South Main St.

Details: This AAA Four Diamond hotel is located inside a renovated 1920s building in the heart of downtown GVL. Sleeping in a luxury suite instead of your childhood bedroom? Yes, please.

Perks: Start the day with a morning workout or stretch in the hotel’s Peloton-equipped fitness center + book a pre-dinner massage at River Falls Spa to de-stress ahead of what’s sure to be a memorable evening.

For a budget-conscious downtown stay:

Hyatt Regency Greenville, 220 N. Main St.

Details: Stay right on NOMA square (GVL’s sought-after outdoor plaza) and enjoy striking cityscape views or the soaring eight-story glass atrium.

Perks: If you’ve got some extra time for exploring, spend an afternoon at the Greenville County Museum of Art or the Upcountry Museum — both are a ~half-mile walk from the hotel.

No excuses for showing up empty-handed:

Residence Inn by Marriott Greenville Downtown, 80 Carolina Point Pkwy.

Details: Located just off I-85, you’re a quick ~15 minute drive into downtown GVL. Walk off some of that gravy by window-shopping along Main St.

Perks: Contribute to the feast with your signature recipe by using the fully equipped in-room kitchens (we’re talking a full size oven, 4 burner stove, dishwasher + full size fridge). Bonus: Don’t sweat it if you forgot the cranberry sauce — your stay comes with complimentary grocery delivery service.

A sweet suite for the whole family:

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Greenville Downtown, 200 E Washington St.

Details: Steps from all the downtown hotspots + featuring its own on-site restaurant, Oak and Honey, SpringHill Suites is perfect for those who want to experience GVL in the heart of the holiday season.

Perks: Usher in the Christmas season with a post-dinner drive through the Holiday Lights Safari at Hollywild Animal Preserve (~35 minutes from SpringHill Suites) for a nostalgic, fully immersive holiday experience. Watch as majestic reindeer + animals of all sizes approach the car and eat right out of your hand.

Take a victory lap around the dinner table + a heated indoor pool:

Crowne Plaza Greenville, 851 Congaree Rd.

Details: Close to both I-385 and I-85, The Crowne Plaza Greenville provides convenient access to get you wherever you’re going.

Perks: There’s a heated indoor pool open all day + Ruth’s Chris steakhouse where you can enjoy a nice nightcap for ultimate post-turkey relaxation.🍷 Ⓟ
