You may still be wearing a coat, but spring is around the corner, and whether you’re dreaming of blossoms or baseball, it’s time to make reservations. With gardens, trails and enchanting views, these hotels make it a breeze to participate in beloved springtime traditions. From about $100 to more than $1,000 a night, they just might inspire you to celebrate cherry blossom season in Japan, feed chickens in the Hudson Valley or sip a cocktail in Paris on some of the city’s newest hotel rooftops.

Washington

Pendry Washington DC — the Wharf

What began in the early 1900s as a gift of thousands of Japanese cherry trees to the United States from Japan has become an annual tradition: Each spring, the U.S. capital is awash in pink and white blossoms — and people show up in droves to delight in them. The Tidal Basin has long been the go-to spot for viewing. If you want to be within walking distance of the basin as well as some of the city’s latest alfresco spots to eat, drink and enjoy live music, the Wharf — the nascent neighborhood with a promenade along the Washington Channel — is the place to be. It has views of the blossoming Kwanzan cherry trees in East Potomac Park and you can choose from hotel brands like Hyatt House, Canopy by Hilton and the InterContinental. In late October, Pendry Washington DC — the Wharf opened in a glass building with 131 rooms and suites, adding a bit of splash to the waterfront.

You can take in the view across the channel while sampling Japanese whiskey, sushi and treats like Tokyo fried chicken at the hotel’s rooftop bar and lounge, Moonraker. (For Latin American-inspired small plates, check out the Flora Flora restaurant.) Guests may also find themselves in the middle of the action for the Wharf’s annual Bloomaroo (April 1), a free spring festival with activities and events including koi kite decorating, face painting, music, beer gardens and pink fireworks. To get a closer look at the Kwanzan trees, hop on the free Wharf Jitney ferry to East Potomac Park. To see the trees around the Tidal Basin, simply go for a 20-minute stroll.

The citywide National Cherry Blossom Festival offers events and activities from March 18 through April 16, including the Sakura Matsuri — Japanese Street Festival, which describes itself as “the largest celebration of Japanese culture in the United States.” Back at the Pendry, you can stop at the Bar Pendry in the lobby for a cocktail, or head to Moonraker to watch night settle over the river in the distance. Rooms from $355 a night.

Paris

Hôtel Madame Rêve

Few cities can rival the romance of Paris in springtime. And in the first arrondissement, amid tulips and sidewalk cafes, the Hôtel Madame Rêve is a buzzy perch from which to take it all in. Situated in the 19th-century Louvre post office building, the hotel, which has 82 rooms and suites, is a short walk from the Jardin des Tuileries. Madame Rêve, however, has plenty of its own greenery. At ROOF, its sprawling 1,000-square-meter (about 10,764 square feet) rooftop bar, there are plants, trees, cocktails, finger food and striking views of the city. For Japanese-influenced cuisine, there’s La Plume Rive Droite, which opens onto a patio with dozens of species of plants. There’s also the elegant Madame Rêve Café for Mediterranean-style food, which, on a sunny spring day, can be enjoyed on the terrace. Rooms from 500 euros, or about $532, a night.

TOO Hotel

Laurent Taïeb, the restaurateur and hotelier who founded Hôtel Madame Rêve, is also behind TOO Hotel, which opened in October atop one of the Tours Duo skyscrapers designed by Jean Nouvel. At the edge of Paris in the 13th arrondissement, it’s near the Seine, within walking distance of the Jardin des Plantes, and about a 15- to 20-minute drive from the Paris-Orly Airport. That location enables the hotel to provide the sorts of panoramic views more often associated with properties in cities like New York and Shanghai. Its 139 rooms and suites, designed by Philippe Starck, all have city vistas. And like Madame Rêve, it has an intriguing new rooftop destination: TOO TacTac Skybar. There are also postcard views from TOO Restaurant, where you can try dishes from around the world, be it shakshuka or lobster tempura. And the spa has an outdoor hot tub on a terrace with plants, trees and views over the Seine. Happily, the only thing that’s not sky-high is the starting room rate. Rooms from 220 euros a night.

Hudson Valley, N.Y.

Wildflower Farms

For those who want to experience spring unfolding on a farm but also want a spa, a sommelier and perhaps some custom cedar-scented soaps, there’s Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection, a new 140-acre luxury retreat with 65 cabins, cottages and suites in Gardiner, N.Y. The resort, about an hour and a half from New York City, allows guests to embrace spring amid grasses and wildflowers, and on its three miles of trails. (The nearby Mohonk Preserve provides additional opportunities for hiking and rock climbing.) Wildflower Farms also offers activities and classes inspired by nature, such as pressed-flower pottery, flower arranging, foraging and botanical baking. You can feed the chickens and, if you like, collect the day’s eggs. Go for a dip in the outdoor pool (or simply visit the bar alongside it), try the spa (there are outdoor hot tubs and an indoor saltwater pool) and work out at the open-air fitness center.

When you retire to your room, you won’t lose sight of the area’s beauty. The cabins and cottages have wall-to-wall glass sliding doors, providing guests with “in-bed vistas,” as well as large private terraces with daybeds. Ridge suites have two fireplaces, a terrace with a cedar hot tub, indoor and outdoor showers, and of course, views of the Shawangunk Ridge, better known as the Gunks. When you get hungry, there’s New American fare at the restaurant, Clay. Morning coffee, pastries, snacks and cocktails can be had at the main building on the open-air Great Porch, where you can sink into a velvet couch beside a fire and gaze at the mountains. Rooms from $1,000 a night.

Atlanta

Omni Hotel at the Battery Atlanta

Yet another rite of spring, Major League Baseball season, is almost here. And for those who wish to turn a game into a weekend getaway, there are hotels such as the 264-room-and-suite Omni Hotel at the Battery Atlanta, just a few hundred feet from Truist Park, the home of the Atlanta Braves. The Premier, Executive and Luxury rooms (the latter have private terraces with fire pits, sofas and tables) feature various views of the stadium or field, and their red and white touches are a nod to baseball.

Traveling with someone who’s not a fan? Your companion can stroll the surrounding area, known as the Battery Atlanta, where there are places to grab a bite, like Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams and Antico Pizza Napoletana, as well as live music at Coca-Cola Roxy and movies at Silverspot Cinema.

Rooms at the Omni Hotel start at $274 a night. You can also add a baseball package that includes valet parking, breakfast, nightly children’s turndown service with milk and cookies, and tickets for a tour of Truist Park.

Tokyo and southern Japan

Fairfield by Marriott’s Michi-no-Eki hotels

What better way to celebrate Japan’s reopening after being closed to much of the world at the height of the pandemic than with a cherry blossom road trip — and new hotels to check into along the way?

Seven Fairfield by Marriott hotels are opening this year in the prefectures of Hyogo, Kagoshima, Okayama, Saga, Kumamoto and Fukuoka as part of Marriott’s ongoing Michi-no-Eki project. Located in rural places near roadside rest areas (known in Japan as Michi-no-Eki), the hotels are often close to national parks and cultural sites. They offer affordable rooms, from about 225 to 270 square feet, with free Wi-Fi. Several opened in places such as Hokkaido and Nara, and in January, the 88-room Fairfield by Marriott Hyogo Tajima Yabu opened in Yabu, a city in Hyogo prefecture, which is home to Mount Hyonosen, Tendaki Falls and Tarumi-no-Ozakura, a cherry tree said to be more than 1,000 years old.

This spring, more Michi-no-Eki hotels are on the way. The 78-room Fairfield by Marriott Okayama Tsuyama is scheduled to open on April 11 in Okayama, an easy drive to the ruins of Tsuyama Castle in Kakuzan Park, a prime cherry blossom viewing spot. And the 95-room Fairfield by Marriott Kagoshima Tarumizu is set to open on April 12 in Kagoshima, where you can visit the (recently active) Sakurajima volcano; check out sites from Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution, which are on UNESCO’s World Heritage List; and if you have time, make the ferry trip to Yakushima Island to visit the cedar forests, thought to have inspired the Studio Ghibli film “Princess Mononoke.” All three properties have rooms from 13,000 yen, or about $96, a night.

Bulgari Hotel Tokyo

On April 4, the 98-room-and-suite Bulgari Hotel Tokyo is scheduled to open in the capital, bringing Italian design to the top of the Tokyo Midtown Yaesu skyscraper. Guests will be within walking distance of the Imperial Palace, one of the most popular spots in Tokyo for enjoying cherry blossoms. A longer walk will bring you to yet another beloved blossom destination, the Chidori-ga-fuchi Moat. For sweeping views of the city and, on a clear day, Mount Fuji, head to the Bulgari Bar, which will have terraces on the 45th floor. The hotel will also have a spa (with an indoor pool), a fitness center and restaurants featuring Japanese and Italian culinary traditions: Sushi Hoseki by Kenji Gyoten and Il Ristorante by Niko Romito. Should you wish to go farther afield, you’re a two-minute walk from Tokyo Station, making it easy to board a train and explore other parts of Japan. Prices from 250,000 yen.
