With summer around the corner, many companies in corporate America gear up for the start of summer Fridays. Summer Fridays can come in handy when making summer travel plans, and can give you some extra time to travel in the afternoon to enjoy a full weekend away. We’ve rounded up some hotels in destinations that are easy to get to and perfect for taking advantage of a summer Friday.
Located just an hour away from New York City, the stunning coastal city of Asbury Park offers beautiful beaches, world-class cuisine, a unique art scene and a variety of events. Book your stay at The Asbury to be in the heart of the town and the area’s top attractions like Asbury Lanes and Asbury Lanes Diner. Guests can also enjoy access to the beach, boardwalk and the well-known Stone Pony. While staying at the hotel, make sure to check out the pool bar for local beers and cocktails, as well as rooftop ocean views from Salvation.
Orlando is a top summer destination for many reasons, and the city is also easy to get to from most U.S. cities. Make Evermore Orlando Resort your homebase. The resort offers five- to 11-bedroom homes that can accommodate up to 32 guests, making it the perfect spot for a group or family trip. Homes include a saltwater pool, outdoor areas for dining and entertaining, movie theaters, arcade rooms, and even indoor slides.
Whether flying cross county or coming from a closer destination, Summer Fridays make it easier to get to Laguna Beach for a weekend trip. Montage Laguna Beach offers weekend travelers oceanfront luxury without the hustle and bustle of weekend activities. Book the new Fifth Avenue Club Suite for a Saks Fifth Avenue personal shopping experience. Take luxury to the next level and spoil yourself to a treatment at Spa Montage.
The Bahamas isn’t as far as you think. You can get to Nassau in a jiffy to enjoy a full weekend in the Caribbean. For the ultimate weekend, stay at Rosewood Baha Mar for delicious dining experiences, stunning ocean views and luxury amenities. Spend the weekend snorkeling, exploring the island, relaxing by blue waters and checking out the vibrant nightlife.
