Sure, you could go back to your hometown for the holidays, where you’ll probably run into your high school ex at the local bar. *Shudders.* Or you could just… skip it entirely?
That’s right, we’re making the case for booking a holiday getaway instead. From an all-inclusive beach resort in Punta Cana to a cozy ski retreat in Park City, we rounded up 10 Girlboss editor-approved Hilton hotels worth using up your PTO for, no matter your OOO vibe.
P.S. Your aunt might be a little annoyed that you’re missing out on her world-famous mashed potatoes, but we think she’ll understand when you send a postcard from somewhere warm.

Casa Mani Resort Napa Valley, Curio Collection by Hilton
