With America marking its 250th birthday in 2026, Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel & Spa is rolling out one of the country’s most over-the-top Fourth of July getaways: the $25,000 “First Family of Vero Beach” experience – a luxe, tongue-in-cheek nod to presidential-style summering on Florida’s Treasure Coast.
Designed for families and multi-gengroups who want to go beyond backyard barbecues, this one-of-a-kind stay reimagines a coastal holiday with the kinds of perks usually reserved for heads of state, letting guests celebrate America’s big day like it’s their own.
Highlights include:
-
Presidential arrival with a private “motorcade” SUV transfer, patriotic welcome and dedicated concierge
-
Private helicopter coastal flyover of Florida’s Treasure Coast with historic narration
-
State dinner on the sand featuring a multi-course chef-driven tasting menu with elevated Americana touches
-
First Family beach photoshoot styled with Team USA-inspired looks and a professional photographer
-
Premium fireworks viewing setup with curated décor, beach lounge seating and a “Fireworks Snack Butler”
-
All-American culinary moments including an in-suite apple pie baking class and bourbon tastings
-
Patriotic kids’ glam station with bedazzling, hair tinsel and accessories
Set along Vero Beach’s oceanfront, the experience is less about politics and more about poolside diplomacy, a rare chance to toast a milestone moment with sand between your toes and something bubbly in hand. In true Kimpton style, it blends nostalgia, indulgence and just the right hint of cheek for summer.
