We’ve made it past Thanksgiving, so now is an acceptable time to pull out the Christmas decorations and put up the tree (at least that’s the rule I follow).

Since I am now in the Christmas spirit and love spamming my blogs with social media posts, I wanted to share some very festive hotels I’ve come across recently.

I love The Lanesborough because it is home to a cat named Lilibet, but now I love the hotel even more because it posted this photo of doorman Carl Merritt with Cookie the mini goldendoodle.

The Deer Path Inn has been posting festive photos for a while now and featuring their version of elf on the shelf on the hotel’s Instagram. Here he is on the mantle:

The Metropolitan at the 9 in Hotel News Now’s hometown of Cleveland has a beautiful tree decorated in red in the lobby, complete with hand sanitizer and people wearing masks in the background.
