Christmas at the Anatole
The Hilton Anatole is one of my favorite hotels and just happens to be one of the best hotels for a Christmas vacation. The property is large, beautiful, and filled with art. During Christmas you’ll also find holiday decorations and several Christmas trees throughout the hotel. Even some of the art gets a Christmas touch!
The Anatole isn’t just decorated for Christmas. There are also several Christmas activities available as well. Peppermint Park is one of those offerings. We spent 3 nights at the hotel and were hoping to do Peppermint Park the first night but we didn’t have time. We did go outside to check it out and the boys took a picture with Santa but that was all we were able to do at that time.
Peppermint Park was open from 5pm-9pm and there were games to play, shows, and a train ride. I would have taken more pictures but I figured we were going to go back and we never were able to. After the boys took their picture with Santa we went to go get something to eat and then the boys wanted to go to the movie night. The movie night was nice there were not many families there when we went. The movie that was showing was The Polar Express and the hotel provided popcorn and lemonade. There were also blankets and pillows available.
If you’re looking for Christmas themed food we did find some Christmasy desserts.
The Anatole also has Breakfast with Santa. This is another thing that we didn’t do, but we saw the setup and really liked it.
There was one other activity that I wanted to do but we never got around to doing. That was the puppet show put on by Geppetto’s Marionette Theater. The show was supposed to be Winter Wonderland. I even took a picture of the sign so that I could check the show times but I forgot about it until our last day when we were checking out.
The Hilton Anatole has so much to do for Christmas. If you want to do all of it, I would recommend planning a trip and just doing the activities at the hotel. We had so much other stuff planned that we missed a lot of the activities but it was still fun staying at such a Christmasy hotel.
Have you ever stayed at the Hilton Anatole?
