This May Be The Swissotel But You Can Celebrate America With Its Killer Views

Where: 323 E. Wacker Drive [map], Chicago, IL, United States, 60601

Chicago canceled its big Fourth of July fireworks display this year, leaving it to Navy Pier to let the holiday go off with a bang. But you don't have to brave the crowds at the tourist trap to get a front-row seat to the fireworks. Swissotel Chicago can get you a room overlooking all of the Fourth of July festivities.

The hotel offers lakefront rooms that offer a great view of Navy Pier, which means you don't have to fight for a spot among the throngs of people and crane your neck to see the colorful 15-minute display.

To Do After The Fireworks: The Midnight Pool Party at the Joule

Where: 1530 Main St. [map], Dallas, TX, United States, 75201

The best place to spend a hot, sticky Fourth of July is in a pool. But to really do it up in style, you'll head to The Joule for its July 3 midnight pool party that's part of a stay-two-nights, get-one-free deal.

The Dallas hotel's pool is incredible—we named it one of our top 10 death-defying rooftop hotel pools. It hangs off of the side of the building and gives the illusion that you are swimming off of the edge. A plexiglass window allows you to see the city while you splash about.

Even The Food Will Be Festive This Fourth of July at The Fairfax

Where: 2100 Massachusetts Ave., NW [map], Washington, DC, United States, 20008

The Fairfax at Embassy Row is taking the whole patriotic red-white-and-blue idea in a whole other direction—a tasty one. If you stay at the Washington, D.C., hotel on Fourth of July weekend, you'll get a flight of red and white wines and artisanal white and bleu cheeses.

The aptly named Red, White and Blue package is perfect for food-and-drink fans who'd rather celebrate the holiday by boozing it up. However, if you still want to see some fireworks action, the package will also give you two round-trip Metro passes from the Dupont Circle Station—which is just a block from the hotel—to the National Mall, where you can watch the big pyrotechnics show.

There's Plenty of Room in Manhattan For the Fourth of July

If you're up in the Northeast and you're still thinking about a quickie vacay for the Fourth, we've got pretty good news for you: there's plenty of room at the inn. Or, like, all the inns. And they're pretty decently cheap, too.

Gild Hall (though they charge egregious amounts of money for lame Internet connections) is right down by the seaport — and since you shouldn't be working on a holiday weekend anyway, you shouldn't need the WiFi. A quick look on Quikbook shows that it's going for $136 a night (which is not bad) if you book the nights of the 3rd, 4th and 5th.

Meanwhile, if you're down for being one of the first folks to stay in The MAve, you can book the 3rd, 4th and 5th and get your third night free — which averages out to about $133 a night.

$127 is the going rate on QB for The Ace (perf for you and a pal if you want to do a bunk room with two twins), and hey, what the heck, there's room at The Jane for $89 a night.

Can't Get Stateside For Independence Day? Just Hit The Stafford

Where: 16-18 St James's Place, London, United Kingdom, SW1A 1NJ

It’s a little-admitted fact that most non-Yanks secretly want to be Yanks. But guys, it’s time to come out of the closet. Especially if you’re in London: the Obamas have been assiduous in their visits to us, the rising pound is bringing back our love for America, and the 4th of July is nearly here.

But if you have neither time, money, nor inclination to head Stateside for the celebrations, you could head for Mayfair instead, where the usually-genteel Stafford is shedding its stiff upper lip and going American for the day.

Mainly foodwise, though: they’ll be laying on an all day Independence Day menu with burgers, hot dogs, cheesecake and BBQ chicken. And it’s not only nosh; the appropriately named American Bar will be shaking up such concoctions as Patriotinis and Fourth of July Fizzes. Who cares about the lack of fireworks? Just make sure you’re wearing your jackets, guys – it’s still England, after all.

Fourth of July Hotels For Less Than a Benjamin

Sometimes you can seriously unearth sweet-ass deals if you do a little bit of hunting, even on sites that have the name "cheapo" in them. They're usually worth a look, right?

We've already put together our list of what we feel are the best hotels for the Fourth, but what about the cheapest? We got an email blast with some super, super cheapo (heh) deals from Cheapostay.com for stays July 2nd through July 5th, and it turns out you can book hotels all over the place for less than 100 bucks.

For instance, the International Plaza Resort & Spa in Orlando is going for $54. The Radisson Hotel Minneapolis is down to $59 (oh come on, you know you want to see your aunt), and you can score a Mariott Courtyard Boston for $67.

Even more impressive: the Hyatt Regency Dallas is down to a totally approachable $59. And most impressive? The Doubletree New York City is seriously only $87. Day-um. Okay, so it's the Doubletree Fort Lee, but still.
