Slumber party alert! Grab all your favorite people and take over a hotel floor.
It used to be that if you wanted privacy, you needed to fork over extreme amounts of cash for the penthouse. Not anymore! With hotel occupancies at historic lows, properties across the United States have cooked up a way for you to practice social distancing by booking the entire floor for your pod, bubble, family members, or quaran-team to lounge in style.
