Independence Day is a great time to enjoy deals on many city center hotels.
Business travel slows and local residents drift away from city centers to spend the holiday weekend out of doors, leaving the doors (and deals) wide open for you.
The actual holiday falls on a Tuesday this summer, but many of these offers are valid for the upcoming weekend of July 1.
Relaxing Views and Deliciousness at Westin Austin Downtown
The Texas heat often peaks during the 4th of July holiday, but the Westin Austin Downtown boasts one of the most Instagram-worthy rooftop pools in the city, with sweeping views of downtown Austin and the Colorado River.
Kick back in a cabana and sip the daily infused cocktails offered by the pool bar, or head downstairs to Stella San Jac and try the house-made biscuits, which are topped with bacon grease just before going into the oven. The hotel itself is located conveniently to the convention center, State Capitol of Texas, and nightlife of 6th and Rainey Streets.
From June 29 through July 9, the hotel is offering 17.76 percent off room rates when booking through this link or referencing rate plan LYPKG1.
Barbecue and Fireworks at the Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles
There will be plenty of barbecue and fireworks this Independence Da. However, few can beat The Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles serving the good stuff at a popup of WP24 by Wolfgang Puck at its 26th-floor rooftop pool with views of the Grand Park fireworks show.
The event is open to the public for $49 per person, which includes mesquite smoked barbecue, traditional sides and desserts, plus frosé, champagne floats and other seasonal cocktails with herbs and fruits from the hotel's rooftop garden.
Overnight guests can book the Summer In The City package with rates from $539 per night, which includes a $50 hotel credit and access to the hotel's Club Lounge.
