I think going to a hotel for Pesach is like Davening beyechidus on Yom Kippur (not talking halachawise). It’s JUST NOT THE SAME!! This is not something I can describe… It’s just the atmosphere. I can’t imagine my father sitting with his white kittel at some luxurious hotel lobby and leading our seder… It just doesn’t click! I think the “geshmak” of yomtov is the “heimishkeit” and the simplicity (our seder is royal but heimish). I wouldn’t go to a hotel for Pesach even if THEY’D pay me. (Oh, I’m SURE they’re DYING to have me there;))
