Reconnect on a group vacation in the USA

A group getaway is the perfect way to make new memories with old friends. Whether your squad is looking to get lively or just relax, we found some group vacation ideas that are bound to be unforgettable. Check out some of the top domestic destinations recommended by US group travelers*.

Las Vegas, Nevada

For the classic group trip, you can’t go wrong with Las Vegas. Check into the Bellagio before gambling the night away, relaxing poolside, eating like royalty, catching one of the many shows around town, and making memories that might just have to stay in Vegas.

And if gambling isn’t in the cards for your friends, there are plenty of options for you to check out beyond the casinos that will make for an unforgettable experience.

San Antonio, Texas

The Alamo city may be known for its historic past, but San Antonio has tons of new adventures for your crew. Explore the River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, where you can eat, drink, shop, and explore your way through the city. Make sure to visit the Pearl for amazing food during the day, the Japanese Tea Gardens and local murals for some social media group shots, and St. Mary’s Strip for nightlife, culture, and entertainment all night long.

Stay in the heart of all the action at the Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk. There’s an on-site gym, bar, and bistro to accommodate all your friends’ preferred pleasures.

Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville isn’t coined Music City for no reason. This upbeat town will get all your friends in the groove on your next group vacation. After visiting all the great music venues, getting the best fried chicken in town at Prince’s, learning to two-step, and visiting the Parthenon, take your group for a classic Tennessee whiskey. When you need a break from your action-packed vacation, get rooms at the Cambria Hotel Nashville Downtown, where some friends can swim laps in the outdoor pool while others catch some z’s.

Atlanta, Georgia

Atlanta has a bit of fun for even the most diverse groups of friends. Try to find the secret formula for Coca-Cola at World of Coca-Cola, be an ultimate fan at the College Football Hall of Fame, learn more about MLK at many historic sites throughout his hometown, take a movie/TV tour to explore one of the most cinematic cities in the country, explore the elegant shops and restaurants in Buckhead, and get to the “Heart of the arts” in Midtown.

Overnight, stay near other famous Atlanta sites. The Embassy Suites Atlanta is located right next to the Olympic Park, Georgia Aquarium, and Mercedes Benz Stadium.

New Orleans, Louisiana

Home to Bourbon Street, beignets, and the birthplace of Jazz, New Orleans is the ultimate spot for a group getaway. Visit the French Quarter—one of the most historic neighborhoods in NOLA—where you can shop at boutiques before heading to Cafe du Monde for world-class beignets. Then visit famous restaurants like Galatoire’s, Antoine’s, and Commander’s Palace before hitting Bourbon Street for the night. If you want a more low-key evening, there are plenty of jazz clubs where you can catch a gig while catching up with friends. After a long night, rest up at the Hotel Villa Convento for the New Orleans charm in the ideal location.
