This is our fourth installment and while <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/11/3/114950/488/hotels/The_Five_Best_Hotels_for_the_2008_Macy_s_Thanksgiving_Parade">last year's choices</a> and anything in the vicinity of Times Square still holds true, we decided to do away with the old and bring in some new choices. And it looks like the Macy's Day parade will be trying something new itself on November 26th. This year the parade will go down 7th Avenue instead of the old Broadway.

But the die-hard green beer-drinkers (and of course, college kids) will remain true to the 17th.This holiday is one where a hotel room is completely necessary.

We're talking to you serial bed-hoppers and couch-surfers) we're thinking that we'd like to end a night of Erin Go Braugh revelry and the unfortunate "Come On Eileen" sing-along on a nice fluffy bed with (hopefully) a toilet very,

<![CDATA[Hotels probably consider February one of the most wonderful times of the year, even in a rough economy like this. Aside from lovers taking Valentine's Day getaways, hotels have the opportunity to capitalize on families with children who have the week off in the middle of the month known as President's Week which celebrates the birthdays of U.S. presidents Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

Except it's really just a three-day weekend with an excuse to go away. (If you want to buck the trend, make it a <a href="http://www.mlkday.gov/about/why/index.asp">day of service</a> instead.) While Chris Elliott says 2009 will be the year of the <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28074671/">"naycation"</a>, we tend to think that now more than ever people need to escape all the doom and gloom. (Or as Gadling put it, a <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2009/01/05/9-reasons-09-will-be-the-year-of-the-yaycation">"yaycation."</a>) But where will all these yaycationers go?
