Need a nap during that layover?? What a way to arrive to your destination, refreshed and relaxed. If you are flying out of or through Philadelphia, check out their new Minute Suites. An one hour nap will only cost $30. Well worth the investment for the road warrior traveler or the international layover, in the middle of the night. There are 13 mini suites and 2 workstation cubicles.
Here is more information from Jaunted.com
· Each suite has a daybed sofa that features two sleeping surfaces with fresh pillows and blankets.
· A sound-masking system in each suite neutralizes noise, and the NAP26Tm audio program helps deliver the equivalent of three hours of sleep in only 26 minutes
· Each room has a high-def television with access to DIRECTV, the Internet, and flight-tracking information
· Suites are $30 for a one hour minimum stay and then $7.50 for every 15 minutes thereafter. Rate reductions begin at four hours including a flat overnight rate of $120.
Sounds like a great idea!! I am looking forward to these Minute Suites popping up in more airports across the U.S.

29 Spa at The Mansion on Peachtree

Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. ~Chinese Proverb
Who does not love a visit to the spa? I mean, you walk in and immediately are hit with that smell of sandalwood and/or lavender. You hear chimes, ocean waves or trance-like water noises coming from the speaker system. All of these sensory treats are there to trigger your body to slow down and turn off that cell phone. For a moment, you are allowed to forget about what was said in last week's meeting or that email sitting in your draft box. A spa day is all about you, you and oh yes, YOU!!! Are you ready to book that appointment?? Allow me to assist you in selecting a perfect spot of zen.
Atlanta is home to one of the top spas in the country. The 29 Spa is located on the third floor, inside The Mansion on Peachtree.
Redefining skin and body care, 29 was created by Lydia Mondavi, a fifth-generation Atlanta native, to embody the enterprising American spirit, the magnificent colors reflected in every season and the mystery and luxury that is Napa Valley. With the opening of 29 Spa at The Mansion on Peachtree, skin care and understanding come together in a spa experience that combines beautiful benefits with the blissful art of relaxation and expert care. - from the 29 Spa website
The 29 Spa is designed so you are not rushed in and out. When (not if) you book your appointment, give yourself at least an hour before and afterwards, to enjoy the complimentary amenities. Even if you are not an overnight guest, your spa appointment gives you access to the hotel gym and pool. Imagine a 50 or 80 minute massage after a great workout. Not in the mood for much action, have a seat in the sauna, steam room or hot tub and sip a glass of orange water or the complimentary wine before your mani/pedi.
Have you blocked off that time to visit? You are living an A-List Lifestyle and deserve a little luxurious pampering. I promise, you will leave the 29 Spa and feel renewed, refreshed and ready for the world.
**A-List Tip - So busy that you have been neglecting friends and unable to catch up with chit-chat?? Take your bff with you to the 29 Spa.
Happy Spa Day!!!

“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!!!

The Ritz Carlton Buckhead-Atlanta
The Ritz Carlton
3434 Peachtree Rd
Atlanta, Georgia 30326
(From the Ritz Carlton Buckhead website)
The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead is setting the standard for elegance. With impeccable attention to detail, each of The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead hotel’s luxurious rooms and suites are inspired by the timeless appeal of Southern gardens and provide guests with an exceptional array of amenities. Located in the city’s finest neighborhood, this Atlanta-Buckhead hotel is four miles from Midtown’s cultural epicenter and nightlife.
In the mood for old school luxury and southern decadence? Make a reservation at the Ritz Carlton Buckhead in Atlanta. As soon as you pull up to the front door, you are greeted with poised valet, ready to get you started on your stay. The lobby is covered in rich wood grains and classic furniture. Stop for a second...look around and take in the elegance of the layout. Adjust your shades on top of your head and embrace your VIP-ness.
The guests rooms are lush and equipped with everything you will need during your stay. Whether it is wi-fi, nightly turn down service or the signature plush robe, the Ritz amenities are enough to make you hide out in your room all day. However, that is impossible since the property is literally, in between two of the best shopping locations in Atlanta; Phipps Plaza and Lenox Mall.
Ok, so here is my favorite part of the Ritz Carlton Buckhead... afternoon tea!!! Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!!! If you have never taken the time and enjoyed a proper afternoon, I strongly suggest you add it to your "to do" list.
And because I have the best friends on the planet, my Ritz Carlton tea time was a full out, bridal tea party. It was absolutely fabulous. My guests and I enjoyed our private, afternoon tea decked out in big hats, pearls and pretty dresses. The tea servers were amazing and our personalized menu was full of teas, savory bites and delicious sweets. The experience was priceless and the location was classic.
*A-List tip - Request a corner room, facing Peachtree Road. The views are amazing and you get a little more space. Also, make sure you take afternoon tea!!!
Happy travels!!!
