Savor the vibrant culture of downtown Worcester during your convenient stay at Homewood Suites by Hilton. You’ll receive a complimentary breakfast, but the culinary cornucopia that is Shrewsbury Street will tempt you to eat your way through One Eleven Chop House, Volturno, and Leo’s Ristorante from sunup to sundown. Between meals and naps in your king suite, you can immerse yourself in local art and culture at the Worcester Art Museum and Hanover Theatre.

Give your kids an unforgettable vacation at Great Wolf Lodge in Fitchburg. Close to Worcester and Boston, it’s the ultimate getaway for children, with an indoor water park. When they’re wrinklier than a couple of prunes, your gang can dry off with a round of minigolf, a few frames of bowling, or a show at the theater. Are they up for more fun? From climbing rock walls and mining for gems to tackling a rope course and gaming in the arcade, your kids will love every minute at Great Wolf Lodge, and you’ll love every (fleeting) minute of shut-eye you get in your log cabin-themed king suite.
