10 Reasons to love the Mandarin Oriental, Miami {Plus a surprise!}

I just returned from an incredible weekend at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami and I’m speechless.

As someone who is always on her phone, thrives on being busy and doesn’t stop unless forced, I’m trying to learn how to relax. I knew my visit to Mandarin Oriental, Miami would be a treat, but I wouldn’t have ever guessed how lovely it would be. To set the tone for the weekend, the first thing I did was experience a digital detox at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami Spa. Let me tell you – that was the right decision. I immediately felt centered and ready to enjoy the weekend. I ended my first night with an amazing meal at La Mar by Gaston Acurio. It was so good that I planned to go back for drinks and apps the next night.

My Paris apartment stay

Deciding on a trip to Paris is easy. Deciding on where to stay and where to eat is a whole other story. Since I’ve always longed to live in Paris, I usually stay in an apartment. During my last trip to Paris, I stayed in a charming flat in Montmartre. There’s nothing quite like waking up, making coffee, leisurely sipping it on a sofa that overlooks the Parisian rooftops, and then heading out to stroll the winding roads around Sacre Coeur. Absolutely nothing like it. So this time I knew I wanted another Paris apartment stay.

Where to stay: The Whitley in Atlanta, Georgia

The second stop of my Southern Tour with the FeedFeed and The Luxury Collection was Atlanta, Georgia. We stayed in the Buckhead section of Atlanta while were in town. Our luxurious home for the duration of our stay was The Whitley. A beautiful property with ornate interiors and delicious food.
