Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2014: Best hotels along parade route

You can get an up-close view of the 88th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC thanks to the following hotels.

If you want to be among the crowds braving the cold (with a hot beverage, of course) but don’t want to wake up early or navigate holiday-morning transportation, stay at one of these nearby hotels and let the parade come to you. If you’d rather enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the whole action, ask for a room facing the parade – preferably not too high up, unless you pack binoculars.

These hotels are directly along the parade route, each offering different room categories and parade-viewing options. Click the links below to explore which Thanksgiving package is best for you.
