One of the most rewarding aspects of the holiday season is the joy of giving to others, but shopping for loved ones can take a lot of energy. By the time the sun sets and busy stores dim the lights for the night, even seasoned shoppers are ready to call it a day. Not to worry: Ridgeland—aka Central Mississippi’s tried-and-true shopping mecca—makes unwinding as easy and rewarding as the retail therapy itself. After a day exploring upscale shopping destinations like Renaissance at Colony Park, what could feel better than retreating to a cozy hotel lobby, where the only thing left on your list is to put up your feet. With a wide variety of hotels available, Ridgeland makes it simple to find the right base for a holiday season stay.

Among Ridgeland’s lodging options is the just-renovated Embassy Suites hotel. “We here at the Embassy Suites are thrilled to unveil our brand-new look just in time for the holidays!” says Senior Sales Manager Gray Jackson. “Our top-to-bottom complete hotel renovation will sparkle and shine with holiday décor this season, and we may offer a signature drink or two at our sleek and beautiful new bar. You can also lounge in comfort and taste some tantalizing culinary delights at our brand-new restaurant, the Mockingbird at Township. It will be a holly jolly good time at Embassy Suites Ridgeland this holiday season.”

Another standout stay awaits at the AC Hotel by Marriott, which welcomes guests to settle into a stylish retreat that feels half a world away, thanks to its airy, European-inspired design and coolly cosmopolitan atmosphere. “Fall has always been a favorite season here, when guests gather to enjoy the glow of our expansive firepit patio,” says AC Hotel Director of Sales Amber Davis. “Unwind and sip on thoughtfully-curated cocktails that capture the flavors of the season, making every evening feel like a celebration of comfort and connection.”
According to Amber Davis, with Thanksgiving, the magic of Ridgeland during the cooler months is just getting started. “As the year winds down, anticipation builds for the holiday season—a time when the hotel becomes a festive retreat. The highlight: The Township at Colony Park’s annual Christmas Open House (Thursday, December 4), which marks the official beginning of the holiday season. Guests get twinkling lights, horse and carriage rides, a performance of The Nutcracker by Mississippi Metropolitan Ballet, and a sense of community that makes the holidays truly unforgettable.”
