There’s nothing I love more than traveling in the wintertime. Exploring new cities that are beautifully appointed with holiday decorations, to trying new foods that any other time of the year my diet wouldn’t allow, traveling during the holidays is the perfect form of accepted indulgence. If you’re looking to get away this holiday season, consider a West Coast winter, where you can enjoy the festivities without the freezing weather! Here are three great choices from Noble House Properties located in both Seattle and California that are offering something special this holiday season.
The Edgewater Hotel, Seattle
Ok. So, you may still get a white winter at this location, but self-proclaimed as Seattle’s only luxury waterfront downtown hotel, The Edgewater Hotel is beautifully appointed and located in downtown Seattle, overlooking Elliott bay and the Olympic Mountains. Originally built for the 1962 World’s Fair, the Edgewater Hotel is a beloved local landmark that has welcomed everyone from The Beatles during their first world tour, to Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin just to name a few. This holiday season, you can see for yourself why so many celebrities stay at The Edgewater by booking their “Holiday’s on The Edge” package. Starting at $349 a night, guests can enjoy ice skating for two at the Winterfest Ice Rink, two stiff drinks upon arrival, dinner for two at Six Seven restaurant, and a copy of David Sedaris’ wildly popular collection of essays, ‘Holiday on Ice’ which guests can read while cozying up in front of their own fireplace!

Kona Kai Resort & Marina, San Diego

Here, guests are provided with $100 resort credit, free in-room milk and cookies upon arrival and four tickets to the “Jungle Bells” Jungle Tour at the San Diego Zoo along with family sail for four aboard the Stars and Stripes Yacht!
