Summer is the Time to Enjoy America's Favorite Pastime - Baseball
Summer wouldn’t be summer without America’s favorite pastime – baseball. As I watched the Colorado Rockies come from behind to beat the St. Louis Cardinals the other night, I was reminded of the numerous times I’ve joined friends and family at the ball park over the years. There were the classic old-school stadiums like Busch Stadium and Comiskey Park that have given way to the new wave of ballparks in the major leagues like New York’s Citi Field and Yankee Stadium.
This summer travelers can enjoy this all-American sport when visiting a variety of Destination Hotels & Resorts properties in great locations. Arizona may be hot in the summer, but baseball fans can cool down watching the Diamondbacks in Chase Park with its signature swimming pool and retractable roof. Destination properties like Tempe Mission Palms, Royal Palms Resort and Spa, and Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa in the Phoenix area are great choices to stay and play when enjoying America’s favorite pastime.
Sports fans may choose to dine at Shula’s Restaurant, and then wake up with glass of fresh orange juice at the InterContinental Tampa before heading to Tropicana Field to watch the Tampa Bay Rays. Or, Minute Maid Park may be your destination for nine innings of play by the Houston Astros when staying at Hotel ICON.
There’s the “all you can eat seats” at PETCO Park for a San Diego Padres game. And, if you haven’t stuffed yourself throughout the nine innings you may choose to enjoy a dinner at Kitchen 1540 at L’Auberge Del Mar or fresh made guacamole and an outstanding margarita at Mustangs & Burros at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa.
If your destination is one of America’s great ball parks this summer, Destination Hotels & Resorts offers a variety of lodging experiences throughout the United States to make your vacation even more enjoyable. Visit www.destinationhotels.com for more information.
