17/12/2021

'Tis the season...for gift giving! Whether you're shopping for your loved ones, friends, neighbors, pets, co-workers, Secret Santas, or, well, you get the idea, Coast Hotels has you covered! 

Although our to-do and to-buy lists can sometimes become overwhelming, holiday shopping itself doesn't have to be stressful. In fact, we're confident we can make it enjoyable!

At Coast Hotels we pride ourselves on being Refreshingly Local™. This December we’re shining a light on some local businesses that operate in the same communities as our hotels. Each of these businesses is special and deserves a shout out. They’re being featured in our 12 Days of Local Gifting on Instagram (that also includes cool contest giveaways!). Check them out for some gifting inspo as you support local!
