Although Memorial Day is officially held to honor soldiers who have fallen in service, the occasion is also seen as the unofficial start of the summer, with many people taking the opportunity to enjoy a long weekend getaway.
Held yearly on the last Monday of May (May 31 in 2021’s case), Memorial Day has come to signify the ushering in of sunnier, better times – and after all but a year in lockdown, such celebration has never felt more needed. Although the weight of Covid-19 is still being felt around the country, luxury hotels and resorts are easing back into normality as travel picks back up. And while international travel is back on the menu, Memorial Day feels like an appropriate time to enjoy the amazing landscapes and cities on home soil.
