The Holiday Season at the Hotel: A Celebration in Itself!

A getaway doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, just a few kilometers are all it takes to make you happy. A night or two at a hotel—even one right near home—can turn a traditional holiday season into a memorable getaway. No beds to make, no dishes to wash—just a lovely little bubble of comfort for you and your loved ones. And since Christmas is just around the corner, here’s a little gift for you: some ideas to help you plan your next hotel stay! You’re welcome—it’s our treat!

Changing the Way We View Hotels

First, let’s emphasize the fact that thehotel isn’t just a place to stay. It can also be THE best spot for your next sleepover. Break out your pajamas printed with Christmas trees and ornaments and pack your suitcases with indulgent snacks that are usually off-limits (well, not strictly off-limits, but you get the idea…). Then, settle in comfortably on your big hotel bed and watch a string of seasonal movies until you drift off to sleep.

A Tour of the Hotel in 48 Hours and a Few Seconds

While the movie *Around the World in Eighty Days* is a beloved holiday classic, we’d like to suggest another one: a tour of the hotel in 48 hours. Make the most of your hotel stay by enjoying the nearby activities. iFly, a tour of the Cosmodome, the Armand-Frappier Health Museum, C.I.Eau, Crux and other attractions are waiting for you (psst! Check out our Advent Calendar and our contest—you could win a 15% discount valid at several attractions).

Hosting a party at a hotel—why not?

The great thing about traditions is that they can change! Some purists might disagree, but oh well. So, book a suite and invite your loved ones over. Decorate with string lights, bring in dishes straight from the caterer, and celebrate in a completely different setting—neither at your place nor at someone else’s. And if the drinks start flowing a little too freely, everyone can just stay the night.

Give Yourself the Gift of Privacy

Between work, the kids, and friends, finding time for just the two of you can sometimes feel like a real juggling act. This holiday season, set aside some time for intimacy—not too far from home, but far enough to enjoy a change of scenery and fresh air. Order some bubbly, have dinner in your room, or head down to the restaurant, and take advantage of being away from home to recharge. A well-deserved romantic getaway in the heart of winter.

Sleeping Alone

Solo getaways are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. The first person you need to take care of is yourself! So break out of your routine and give yourself permission to slow down in a modern, cozy setting or with a view of Laval. A night away from the familiar noises can bring clarity of mind and a well-deserved break.

This year, ask Santa for some suitcases as a gift—you'll need them to set sail for your next vacation destination: Laval. Check out all our options!
