Fairmont Scottsdale Princess |
Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is located in the always beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona. This five-star resort just recently established the "Christmas at the Princess" and it is fast becoming a huge success. The hotel transforms into a winter wonderland with carolers and animated light displays. As if that weren't enough, 65,000 lights have been carefully synchronized with lovely holiday music. Inside next to the roaring fire you'll find Santa ready for a chat and a picture. In the always impressive lobby you can find one of the main attractions, the six-foot tall gingerbread nutcracker. While there is a lot to see at the Fairmont, there is also a lot to do. Catch up on some last minute shopping at the artisan holiday mart or try your hand at the resorts Desert Ice Holiday Rink. The Fairmont Scottsdale has captured some yuletide magic and presents it along side their impressive amenities and exceptional service. Head to Arizona and experience the warmth of the holiday season.

Outrigger Reef on the Beach |
Outrigger Reef on the Beach is another one of the Best Hotels according to Travel and Leisure. Situated on the island of Honolulu in Hawaii, this resort has been recently refurbished and provides year round comfort and indulgence. This remarkable beach front hotel knows it cannot produce a white Christmas, but it can showcase an island Christmas. Guests can head to the free workshops where locals will teach the art of creating Hawaiian ornaments and holiday cards. Employees get in the spirit of the season with a gingerbread house competition and local hula school students put on performances throughout the season. Kids get the chance to dine with Santa and have their photos taken just before the big day and let's not forget families can head to the beach and enjoy the warm temperatures and white sandy beaches. The Outrigger cannot provide snow and sleigh rides, but sand and surf might just be the next best thing.
