Best NYC Hotels and Packages on New 6th Ave Route

The best Macys Thanksgiving Parade Hotels are along the parade route and offer views from the rooms, restaurants or outside the front of the hotel. Many hotels offer private access to areas along the parade route blocked off to the rest of the viewing public. Here are all the ways to watch the Macy’s New York Thanksgiving Parade from a hotel.

The Thanksgiving Parade follows along Sixth Avenue (aka, Avenue of the Americas). In prior years, the most popular Thanksgiving Hotels were along 7th Avenue and Broadway, but now those are a block off the Parade Route. The Parade changed routes in both 2009 and 2012, so please be aware when researching older information.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade Hotel – Best Hotel Rooms

There are plenty of hotels along the Thanksgiving Parade Route. Some Thanksgiving in New York City hotels have great views of the Parade (and some don’t!), making it easy to stay warm and dry, use a rest room, eat and STILL watch the Parade from a prime spot. Many of them also offer Thanksgiving in New York City Hotel Packages, though they can be pricey.
