These hotels will provide the most stunning views of the Great American Eclipse

On August 21, 2017, America will witness its first total solar eclipse since 1979.

Dubbed "the Great American Eclipse," the spectacular celestial event will be visible in certain locations along a 70-mile path spanning from Oregon to South Carolina.

Stargazers across the country (and even the world) are hurriedly making travel arrangements to witness the once-in-a-lifetime natural phenomenon in person.

A selection of Marriott International hotels that lie along the eclipse's path are rapidly preparing themselves to provide a comfortable and fun atmosphere for guests who are eager to take in Mother Nature's much-anticipated show.

The luxury chain's special festivities are set to include viewing parties with local artists, out-of-this-world live music and solar- and lunar-themed snacks -- all to help guests celebrate one of nature's most impressive sights.
