Sophisticated Boutique Hotel: Amalif Hotel - Chicago, Il
Amalfi Hotel
20 West Kenzie Street
Chicago, IL 60654
ph: 312.395.9000
“My first day in Chicago, September 4, 1983. I set foot in this city, and just walking down the street, it was like roots, like the motherland. I knew I belonged here.” - Oprah Winfrey
Chicago has a few tag lines: the windy city, home of the original gangsters, home of the Obamas and let's not forget the other O...Oprah Winfrey.
If you are planning a leisure or business trip to Chicago and interested in staying in a downtown boutique hotel, check out the Amalfi Hotel.
A luxury boutique hotel located in downtown Chicago’s River North district, the Amalfi Hotel Chicago offers the ultimate in modern style and hospitality. Boasting a central location near Michigan Avenue and the Loop, the Amalfi is a distinguished downtown escape for both business and leisure travelers. Discover the perfect blend of elegant design, luxury amenities and attentive service at a hotel designed around the guest experience. - Amalfi Hotel website
As soon as you step into the hotel lobby, you know you are not checking into a hotel chain. There is nothing cookie cutter or mass produced. The decor is sleek and modern. The lobby chairs are over sized and the accent rugs are bold. The chandeliers are not your grandma's chandelier. The waterfall next to the registration desks give off that spa zen. And the hot jazz playing softly through the speakers accessorize the fedora wearing bellman. Oh yes, A-Listers, walk into the Amalfi Hotel and you are stepping into cool.
The rooms are furnished to fit your either your business or personal needs. You have to love complimentary wi-fi throughout the hotel and iPod docking stations in your room.
This is so cliche' but I have been saving the best for last. I could not wait to share my favorite two amenities. First, the Amalfi has a complimentary Manager's Reception, every evening, with appetizers and drinks.The bartenders serve high quality liquors and manage the lounge-like area.
My second favorite Amalfi amenity is the complimentary breakfast. This breakfast is not like most hotels where you have to put on a pile a clothes, stand in line in a lobby dining area and wait for milk for your cereal. If you are not the cheerful morning person, that is not the way to start your day. The Amalfi sets up breakfast on every floor. Oh, what a treat!!!! Thank you's and kudos to the staff who set up and break down that many breakfast areas, everyday.
**A-List tip - If you are able to make the Manager's Reception, try the two signature drinks: the Amalfitini and the Sorrento. These two cocktails are light and delicious. The bartenders have ingredients cards so you can experience these cocktails at home.
Happy travels!!!!

“Anyone looking to experience the down-home charm and character of the South should head to Uptown Charlotte. The fine dining, world-class accommodations and phenomenal arts and culture scene that define the thriving Uptown district reflect the softer side of North Carolina’s ‘Queen City.’” - American Eagle Latitudes – Uptown Charlotte: A Spirited Art Enclave
Looking to visit a big city in the south? I am sure your list of options is short. Do you have Charlotte, NC on there? Well, do you?? If not, please add it. Charlotte is quickly carving out a strong identity in the south and swaying a lot of the young, educated and hip from Atlanta. Imagine that...
Uptown Charlotte is the city center. Buzzing with high rises, businesses, restaurants and a vibrant social scene, Charlotte is getting the attention of some pretty influential party planners. The 2012 Democratic National Convention confirmed and headed to Charlotte. The CIAA Basketball Tournament has made Charlotte home for quite a few years. And when you have a NFL stadium (Charlotte Panthers) sitting right there in the middle of the city, looks like Charlotte has the secret sauce in quickly becoming a southern city powerhouse.
Now that you have a few good reasons to visit Charlotte, North Carolina, top it off with a great hotel. Make your reservations at the Westin Charlotte. This Starwood property is centrally located to everything and place for your ideal Charlotte experience.
The guestrooms are spacious and the beds are divine. One of my favorite features are the huge windows that seem to outline room. I am one of those travelers who open the curtains as soon as I check-in. I need to see where I am...scope out the view. And the Westin Charlotte does not disappoint. A large window accessorizes the bed's headboard and makes it easy to watch that quiet sunset; oh so city chic!!
Before you checkout, start at least one morning with an amazing breakfast, at the Westin's Ember Grill. Breakfast, by far, is my favorite meal of the day and I do not believe in rushing through a well laid out buffet. Sit down, slowly sip your coffee and/or juice and savor each bite. The grill staff will take great care of you.
*A-List tip - Get the best view with those large windows. When making your reservation, request a room on a high floor.
Happy travels!!!

Bon Appetit!!! Hotel Restaurant Week 2011 April 2-9
I love Atlanta's many restaurant weeks. Looks like there is a new one to add to the list.
Hotel Restaurant Week (HRW) will celebrate its first annual week-long evening dining event. The event is geared toward attracting diners to hotel restaurants - a great dining option with a number of great Atlanta hotels to choose from.
HRW is expected to attract thousands of diners, so make reservations early to secure your table for this fabulous food event. There are no passes to buy or coupons to carry - diners simply make a reservation at the hotel restaurant of their choice and select from a special three (3) course dinner menu for $25, plus tip and tax.
HRW is a splendid opportunity to discover the acclaimed cuisine, service and experience that only a hotel restaurant can deliver.
Reservations are highly recommended!
