Christmas & New Year at Elgin

Down The Memory Lane

If it’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas, that’s because it is.

There were some very frazzled people around. It’s understandable. Most are just trying to make others happy; to give loved ones the meal or gift they think they want. Sometimes, we all need to step back from the frenzy and remember it is supposed to be festive. Christmas should be fun. Well, some think that’s just for children! But it’s also for adults to step off the hamster wheel and, relish the life and people they work so hard for.

At The Elgin Hotels and Resorts, we eagerly await the time of carols, hearty dinners and festive cheer. As the temperature drops this Christmas season, our holiday spirits only rise and bring us together to celebrate the most wondrous time of the year.

Our quest to give you the best of the season every year brings in the scent of freshly baked goods accompanied by mellifluous carols and the twinkling lights of the grand Christmas tree. Warm fires, refreshments and grand feasts are all abundant in store to make the most of the joyous occasion, the same way it has since 1887. As unified as we are in our Christmas celebration, each of our locations also has much to offer to our guests individually. Be it within the hotel or outside, each city has a story of its own.

Stay long enough and you’ll even get a glance of Santa as he makes his way through the city.
