You can still book these hotel packages for Labor Day weekend!

In the late 1800s, labor activists encouraged Congress to establish a national holiday on the first Monday of September to honor the hardworking individuals of the U.S. Today, 130 years later, Labor Day is popularly recognized as a three-day weekend that marks the end of summer. It’s often seen as the last opportunity for travelers to hit the road, catch a flight, or enjoy a staycation at a local hotel, soaking up some final sunny relaxation before the school year starts, days get shorter, and pumpkin spice season kicks in.

As per Dana Studebaker, vice president of marketing at BeachBound Vacations, Labor Day weekend is typically the least crowded of the summer holidays, which is a relief after the busy Fourth of July this year.

"Last year, Labor Day weekend experienced a 13% decline in reservations compared to the average summer weekend, along with a 24% decrease in passenger traffic," says Studebaker, noting that this reduction in traffic and bookings allows travelers to enjoy a more relaxed vacation atmosphere with fewer crowds and often lower prices.

This often encourages hotels and resorts to create enticing specials and packages for those seeking one last summer celebration. If you fit that description, check out these 10 Labor Day weekend hotel packages that can help you save money, enjoy great perks, and engage in unique experiences at various hotels from California to Maine, as well as in Georgia and Florida.

A getaway for fans of 'The Bear': Thompson Denver

If binge-watching the third season of "The Bear" on FX/Hulu has you cooking in clogs, organizing your ingredients, or debating the virtues of microgreens versus regular lettuce, then say "yes, chef!" and plan a visit to one of Denver's newest and chicest hotels.

From its inception, a major draw of Thompson Denver was the promise of chef Ludo Lefebvre launching his first French brasserie outside Los Angeles. Chez Maggy has quickly become a must-visit all-day eatery, and with the Culinary Bootcamp Package, food enthusiasts can dive deeper into the culinary world. The experience includes a short-term stage (pronounced "stazhje") with the kitchen team, where you can learn to slice, dice, and master Lefebvre's famous omelets, including his unique take on the classic Denver style. Additionally, a $300 credit allows you to savor your creations alongside those of the professionals. You'll also receive $50 for the lobby coffee bar and $150 for the social club above. Plus, you get a Messermeister Kawashima chef knife to take home.

After wrapping up your work for the weekend, the Thompson's prime LoDo location places you just minutes away on foot, by car, or pedicab from Denver's major attractions like Meow Wolf, breweries, sports stadiums, dining spots, and the train station.

Rates at Thompson Denver begin at $299 or 17,000-23,000 World of Hyatt points per night. The Culinary Bootcamp package starts at $2,000 and must be reserved directly with the hotel via email. If Labor Day doesn't work for you, the offer is expected to be available through December.

A retreat for first responders: Hawks Cay Resort

Sometimes, going big is the way to go. This is evident when a large East Coast resort takes the time each year to honor firefighters, search-and-rescue teams, law enforcement, nurses, doctors, active military personnel, and veterans with a Heroes Salute Tribute Weekend during the three-day holiday.

Hawks Cay, a vibrant Florida Keys destination celebrating its 40th anniversary (with special deals for the occasion!), is filled with exciting activities, including a dock party, live music, a 5K Run/Walk, a touch-a-truck event, and a dinner culminating in a spectacular fireworks display over the Atlantic. With so much on offer, guests may struggle to find time for the five pools, paddleboarding in the saltwater lagoon, tennis, or biking—all included with each visit.

Special guests are honored for their service and sacrifices with rates starting at $175 and a variety of perks, including a commemorative coin; complimentary beer, wine, and well cocktails at four signature restaurants; and various discounts on group snorkel tours, sunset catamaran cruises, scuba diving, craft classes, aquarium experiences, dockage fees, spa services, and fishing charters.

If you're not a first responder but are seeking some relaxation in Hawks' expansive 7,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, you're in luck. A Heroes Supporters discount of 15% is available until Christmas for anyone who donates $5 or more to the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation.

The starting nightly rate for Hawks Cay Resort is $279 or 87,000 I Prefer points.

Enjoy star-studded sips on the Sunset Strip: The London West Hollywood

Sunshine enthusiasts can enjoy a legendary experience at this luxurious 226-room landmark with a British flair, located on one of Los Angeles' most iconic streets, thanks to a collaboration with John Legend. The London has partnered with the acclaimed singer to introduce a new outdoor dining option. With a 110-seat screening room that frequently hosts premieres, a Vivienne Westwood-inspired two-level penthouse, previous culinary connections to Gordon Ramsay, and a prime location near famous rock venues (like the Whisky a Go Go, The Roxy, and The Viper Room), this hotel places guests right in the heart of Hollywood's vibrant scene.

The ambiance at Legend and LVE at The London Rooftop, now extended through October, is enchanting. As the sun dips behind the Santa Monica Mountains and the lights of downtown and Hollywood shimmer from Venice, diners can relax poolside or beneath a cabana, perusing menus by the glow of the fire pit. With inspiration from Legend's wife Chrissy Teigen's cookbook, chef Anthony Keene has crafted a three-course prix fixe meal featuring the 2019 People's Sexiest Man Alive's favorite dishes, such as short rib ravioli, fried chicken with hot honey butter, spicy miso pasta, and French onion soup. Guests can also choose à la carte specialties from across the pond like beef Wellington for two or English pea and morel risotto, each course perfectly paired with a selection from Legend's new drinkable venture, LVE Wines.

When the bill arrives, guests will find it just a quick elevator ride back to their rooms before applying the $100 food-and-beverage credit included with the booking of the Endless Summer Escape package. This offer also features complimentary valet parking each night and discounted room rates.

The starting room rate at The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills is $499 per night.

Celebrate with flair at The Eliza Jane

With its lively atmosphere filled with drinks, bayou tours, beads, brass bands, beignets, crawfish boils, and steamboat rides on the majestic Mississippi, it's nearly impossible to have a dull moment in the Big Easy. This is especially true if you find a fantastic deal at a charming boutique hotel rich in local history, just steps from the French Quarter, like The Eliza Jane (which, of course, features in our list of the best hotels in New Orleans).

To help travelers enjoy a good time for less, the 196-room hotel—housed in the historic structures of ten warehouses that previously served as a gunpowder factory, Peychaud Bitters distillery, and the printing hub for The Daily Picayune—is offering the Spring into Summer Package. This deal gives guests up to 15% off the best available rates, along with a tote bag and two complimentary to-go cocktails in souvenir cups from the lobby bar, The Press Room. Start your adventure with drinks before exploring the Garden District with Two Chicks Walking Tours, and end the day enjoying music at Preservation Hall or visiting a mysterious cemetery.

The starting room rate at The Eliza Jane is $160 per night, or can be booked using 17,000 to 23,000 World of Hyatt points.

Coastal luxury: Kimpton Mas Olas

Mexico is always a fantastic choice—especially if your vision of paradise features tacos, tequila, and basking in the sun while listening to the sound of crashing waves. If your dream vacation also includes a stylish resort serving even more tacos, ceviche, chips and guacamole, chilaquiles, and risotto made with cactus and locally caught fish, we have just the place for you.

Mas Olas is perfect for those who enjoy the above delights, along with the warm desert climate of Baja California and a more tranquil, intimate atmosphere than what you'd find further along the tourist trail in Los Cabos. The Baja Bliss Getaway package for two offers all of this and more. Guests will be greeted with sparkling wine in their private accommodations, enjoy an ocean-view breakfast at Centro, partake in a rejuvenating yoga session, and receive a $100 spa credit along with a $100 resort credit per stay.

When you’re not indulging in delicious food, striking a pose, or enjoying a massage, relax in an ocean cabana at one of the four pools or at the rooftop bar with a Tajin-rimmed cocktail. You can also learn to create a poultice or body balm in the apothecary. If you'd prefer more privacy and have some funds or IHG points to spare, consider booking one of the villas right by the beach. They feature private pools, standalone soaking tubs, and some of the most stunning outdoor showers around.

The starting room rate at Kimpton Mas Olas is $550 per night; IHG One Rewards members can stay for 87,500 points per night. The Baja Bliss package will range from $1,300 to $1,700 per night over Labor Day weekend.

Brit(ish) buddymoon: The Deer Path Inn

A visit to charming England would be delightful, but it's quite a trek—and a significant amount of jet lag to tackle—if you only have three or four days. Enter "dupe travel," one of the hottest trends right now, and The Deer Path Inn, a Tudor-style country inn that's been perfecting its UK-inspired charm for 95 years in an affluent lakeside suburb of Chicago.

Beyond the hedgerows lies an elegant world featuring beamed ceilings, leaded glass windows, oil paintings of hunting scenes, stone fireplaces, and an eclectic collection of kilts and wellies, all managed by a top-notch team. Jars of shortbread and toffee will beckon as you wander through the intricate halls, but save your appetite for the fantastic fish-and-chips in the cozy basement pub, creative nonalcoholic drinks, and wine tasting in a hidden nook. Enjoy high tea where you can choose from over 20 varieties, including a signature house blend, while indulging in tier upon tier of Instagram-worthy sandwiches, cakes, and scones with clotted cream—served three times daily from Wednesday to Saturday, perfect for sharing with your best friend.

Tea time can transition into a cozy evening with the Literary Getaway package, especially delightful if your room features a fireplace. This package includes three cocktails inspired by iconic English literature, bedtime tea service for two, snacks, a soothing lavender mocktail, and a carefully curated playlist for a restful night. The local Lake Forest Book Store will even ask about your reading preferences and handpick a surprise book for you to take home.

Starting rates at The Deer Path Inn begin at $369 per night. The Literary Getaway starts at $840 for two nights, accommodating two guests and requires booking at least two weeks in advance, while Tea Time For Two needs only one week's notice.

Wet hot American summer: W Nashville

For a Labor Day getaway that's sure to blend country charm with rock 'n' roll flair, pack your swimsuit and cowboy hat and head to the vibrant South to take advantage of the Make A Splash Package at the W, a Marriott hotel known for its Wet Decks, lively DJ sets, and party atmosphere. This package features a 33% discount off the booking rate, a complimentary third night with the booking of two in a suite, daily access to Nashville's largest pool patio, and a $75 credit at The Shop. (The boutique has everything you might need, from sunscreen and shades to trendy souvenirs or outfits perfect for hitting the honky-tonks on Broadway.)

This 286-room W location, situated just south of downtown in the Gulch—a trendy, walkable neighborhood filled with shops, concert venues, street art, breweries, and eateries—will honor the holiday by hosting an Italo Disco poolside cookout on Sept. 2. Expect live music, Mediterranean-inspired menus, signature cocktails, and plenty of fun in the water. Note that the buffet will require separate tickets.

If you find yourself weary of whiskey tastings and jam sessions in the Living Room Lounge, there's no shortage of entertainment options like bowling at Pinewood Social, exploring the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, or visiting the Ryman. You can even encounter mythical creatures at Cheekwood Estate & Gardens. (Don't miss the last day to catch the "Trolls: Save the Humans" exhibit by Denmark's Thomas Dambo on Sept. 1.)

Rates at W Nashville begin at $309 or 80,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night. To book the Make A Splash package, use promotional code ES7 online or call 615-379-9000.

Sporty Sin City sojourn: Fontainebleau Las Vegas

Pickleball has exploded in popularity across the nation, and given that sports enthusiasts have long made Las Vegas their destination for thrilling professional events, it was inevitable that top paddlers like Ben Johns, Anna Leigh Waters, Olympic gold medalist Jack Sock, and Wimbledon finalist Genie Bouchard would bring their skills to the desert. It’s fitting that the Strip's newest luxury resort, the towering 67-story, 3,644-room Fontainebleau, is hosting the inaugural Las Vegas Pickleball Cup from Aug. 27 to Sept. 1 in its expansive 105,000 square-foot Royal Ballroom, the largest pillarless ballroom in North America.

Tickets start at $25, and attendees will receive a booking code for a special room rate upon purchase. Several professional players will also conduct camps for those looking to enhance their skills. If you’re feeling competitive, register for the amateur tournament happening alongside the event.

For those who prefer watching a movie to a pickleball match, the property hosts family-friendly films at the 6-acre Oasis Pool Deck on Sundays throughout the summer. The Oasis Cinema Club invites guests to enjoy this dive-in experience for free, though snacks like hot dogs, churro bites, paletas, and three varieties of popcorn are available for purchase. Don’t worry, you can use the daily $50 food and beverage credit included in the Escape to Luxe package toward your order. (This credit can also be applied at the Lapis Spa.) Booking this package grants you up to 20% off a Gold- or Bleau-level room.

Southern charm with a side of self-care: The Inn at Serenbe

Nestled on a sprawling 36-acre farm, The Inn at Serenbe feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta and the world's busiest airport. The serene landscape of rolling hills, soothing creeks, picturesque hiking and riding trails, a tranquil walking labyrinth, a serene canoeing lake, a charming barnyard menagerie, and inviting bonfires (complete with s'mores!) will help melt away your scrolling-induced anxieties and urban stresses.

Plus, there’s a 24-hour gym for those who prefer to stay active even on vacation.

For couples, the romantic Stargazing, Supper and S'mores experience is a must at $1,100, featuring a five-course tasting menu transitioning to a cozy fire pit with drinks and dessert, complete with constellation viewing guided by an in-house expert, plus breakfast in bed and mimosas to cap off the experience.

This Labor Day weekend, the annual Windjammer Festival arrives on Aug. 30 and 31, featuring paddleboarding with pets, live music, fireworks, lobster-hauling demonstrations, a silent auction, a talent show, and a fleet of historic ships gracefully sailing the waters.
