Listicles

Get away with mom, or just treat yourself to a little R&R this year with an impromptu trip. These last-minute Mother’s Day trips can help with both. Make it a staycation or weekend away filled with luxury and activity.

 

The Time Nyack

Head to Nyack, N.Y., for a weekend away with mom and enjoy luxury treatments and special touches from The Time Nyack. Located an hour from midtown Manhattan, guests of Time Nyack enjoy high design and casual luxury in a family-friendly atmosphere.

 

Just a ride away from the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoy the outdoor pool and grill, or take a quick walk into town perusing local shops and restaurants.

 

Welcome mom into the room with the bouquet of flowers provided with your stay, turn-down services, breakfast in bed and late check-out to keep the relaxing energy going even at the end of your stay.

 

Check with the concierge for fun activities in town, boat rides and local events. Use the code MOM while booking, valid for guests booking May 10–14.

 

The Ritz-Carlton New York, Westchester

Welcome the mothers in your life into spring and away for the weekend with a stay at The Ritz-Carlton New York, Westchester. Located in Westchester County, enjoy the blooming spring blossoms and vibrant scenery surrounding your stay.

 

Get out on the green of Maple Moor Golf Course, or head to the Westchester Wine & Food Festival for some spirits. Enjoy the spring weather and get out for some adventure with a scenic kayaking trip along the Hudson River before paying a visit to the friendly farm animals of Muscoot Farm.

After a day of exploring, enjoy a Mother’s Day afternoon tea service in the Lobby Lounge. Celebrating Sunday, May 13, 2–5 p.m., moms receive their complimentary glass of Shramsberg Blanc de Blanc wine while perusing the specifically curated menu of teas, sandwiches, fresh pastries and slew of desserts and entrees, $45–85, for kids and adults. 

 

Hit the spa for a lavish treatment perfect for pampering mom. Choose from something seasonal and detoxifying like the 90-minute Spring Equinox Treatment or rejuvenate with the 90-minute Ultimate Radiance and Renewal Facial.
