The beauty and holiday flavors of Thanksgiving are especially poignant in the Northeast. Whether you’re dreaming of a serene retreat surrounded by nature, a Black Friday trip in a vibrant city or an indulgent escape to a luxurious coastal resort, I have curated an array of exceptional options just for you. Let’s chat about which destination fits your family’s unique interests, and we’ll make this Thanksgiving truly unforgettable.

As the Northeast transforms into a canvas of vibrant colors, Thanksgiving becomes an opportunity to explore some of the most exquisite destinations across the United States. Let’s craft a Thanksgiving getaway that combines the warmth of the season with unparalleled luxury and comfort. I’m sharing several of my top destinations that blend a picturesque location with sophisticated elegance:

Ocean House: Watch Hill, Rhode Island

Perched atop the bluffs of Watch Hill, Ocean House stands as a quintessential New England seaside resort. This hotel hosts an elaborate Thanksgiving buffet in the ballroom, but you’ll want to arrive a day early to relax in your suite’s deep-soaking tub.

Glenmere Mansion: Chester, New York

Surrounded by rolling hills and formal gardens, the Italianate Glenmere Mansion is a Gilded Age luxury hotel, evoking European-style elegance and sophistication. The executive chef and culinary team aim to highlight the diverse and rich heritage of great farmers, craftspeople and artisans in the Hudson Valley through their menus.

Twin Farms: Barnard, Vermont

Private or social, active or restful, lavish or soulful — every detail at Twin Farms is personalized, so your Thanksgiving trip will come together exactly as you wish. Nestled in 300 acres of pristine Vermont countryside, the property’s individually designed cottages and suites are sure to impress every member of your family.

White Barn Inn: Kennebunk, Maine

Cottage guests at White Barn Inn, Auberge Resorts Collection enjoy direct access to a heated infinity pool or views of the Kennebunk River. When you’re ready for an adventure, set sail along the breathtaking coast on a sailboat or enjoy Maine by air on a private helicopter tour.

The Point: Saranac Lake, New York

The Point was built by the Rockefellers as a woodland retreat, during the heyday of the Adirondack Great Camps. Today, guests retreat here for its marvelous union of rustic simplicity and extraordinary luxury. The guest rooms are housed in four log buildings on the peaceful wooded shore of Upper Saranac Lake.
