Winter wonderland getaways inspired by your favorite holiday movies

If you (like the leading lady of a popular holiday movie) dream of a solo-stay-turned-picturesque-getaway in England, a visit to 100 Queen's Gate Hotel London Kensington, Curio Collection by Hilton is a must. This stylish hotel offers elegant rooms, a relaxing atmosphere, and a prime location near Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. Imagine sipping hot cocoa by the fireplace in the hotel's cozy library lounge or sampling freshly baked scones and sweet treats during the botanical-themed afternoon tea.

To really feel like you’re in a winter wonderland, embrace the holiday magic by making time to explore London's festive markets, ice skating rinks, and holiday lights. Each year, the famous Kensington High Street (less than 10 minutes away from your hotel) transforms into a festive paradise, complete with twinkling lights, holiday decor, colorful decorations, and charming shops. It’s the perfect setting to stage your own holiday rom-com. When the day is done, head back to your cozy room at the 100 Queen’s Gate Hotel for rest and relaxation.

Love the charm of the big city? A visit to New York City during the holiday season is a must. You might not be able to travel through a candy cane forest, but a walking tour to take in the famous holiday windows on Fifth Avenue is guaranteed to be just as magical. Add in a stop at the Empire State Building and ice skating in front of the iconic Rockefeller Center tree, and your holiday movie-inspired getaway is off to a great start. Anchor your trip with a stay at Waldorf Astoria New York, which offers stunning city views and a chance to immerse yourself in a piece of New York history. The hotel is known for its lovingly restored Art Deco architecture, as well as its long legacy of hosting celebrities. Between the hotel and the jolly offerings found at the city's holiday markets and theatrical shows, you’ll feel like you’re part of your own real-life holiday movie.
