You might even be able to earn and burn some points while treating your mom, too.

Whether she loves breakfast in bed, luxurious baths or toasting with bubbly (or maybe all of the above), we’ve got a package and resort for moms of all kinds. Ahead, find the best last-minute hotel packages to book for a Mother’s Day to remember.

For the green thumbs: The Newbury Boston in Boston



THE NEWBURY BOSTON/FACEBOOK

The Newbury Boston’s front yard is the Boston Public Garden, the first public botanical garden in the U.S., so it’s a particularly lovely place to stay in the spring when tulips, pansies and cherry trees are in full bloom. The hotel’s “Spring Escape” package treats mom to the most elegant of escapes. Not only do package guests get an overnight stay with breakfast for two at Contessa, The Newbury’s rooftop restaurant with a glass-enclosed terrace, mom will be presented with a seasonal bouquet from Winston Flowers — the family-run florist got its start on Newbury Street in the 1940s — and a Veuve Clicquot basket tote complete with a bottle of citrusy Yellow Label Veuve Clicquot to toast with. Art-loving moms should take time to peruse the hotel’s own on-site collection and visit the Museum of Fine Arts nearby.

Package rates begin at $975 per night.

Island time: The Royal Hawaiian in Honolulu



EQROY/SHUTTERSTOCK

Hawaii’s Pink Palace, The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Resort Collection property on Waikiki Beach, harks back to the glamorous 1920s. Originally opened in 1927, the hotel still offers a historic wing where guest rooms have dark wood furniture and fuschia and platinum accents, as well as a modern tower with more contemporary accommodations and private balconies (every room in the Mailani Tower has an ocean view).

The “Pampered in Pink” package, offered as an upgrade on stays from May 9 through 13, helps moms immerse themselves in everything the historic hotel offers. The package includes a pink pinstriped robe to keep, a cute tote bag and a toast for two at either the Mai Tai Bar or the Malulani Pool, lined with oversized pink deck umbrellas. A fragrant floral arrangement will help ease Mom into relaxation mode, but she can stay as busy as she likes, as Royal Hawaiian guests can participate in resort activities such as yoga, aqua Zumba and meditation.

Rooms start at $452 per night, with the package add-on for $300.

For the ultimate breakfast in bed: The Darcy in Washington, DC



THE DARCY

While waking up to breakfast in bed at home is all well and good, The Darcy, an understated but elegant boutique hotel near Scott Circle in Washington, D.C., offers an elevated experience for everyone in the family. The hotel’s “Mother’s Day Breakfast in Bed” package is an interactive experience where guests — kids included — work with the hotel’s chef to make a memorable and tasty breakfast for their mom. While she sleeps in (or participates, if she’d like), other family members will get a gourmet cooking class and learn how to make perfect omelets, fluffy pancakes and layered yogurt parfaits that look as good as they taste. Once the breakfast is ready, the family will serve their mom in a stylish guest room with modern furniture and original artwork. Trust us, she will be grateful for the delicious gesture — and no mess to clean up after!

Package rates start at $369 per night. This also includes a $75 dining credit and a dozen roses. The stay must take place May 11-13.

The hotel’s new “Rose and Renewal” experience from Augustinus Bader, a skincare brand founded by an expert in regenerative medicine, includes a rose petal foot bath followed by an invigorating dry brushing session.

A package highlight, weekend high tea in Nubeluz for two is the chance to treat mom (and yourself) to the most decadent tea time with truffled grilled cheese, caviar selection and, of course, Champagne.
