MICHELIN Showcases Atlanta’s Hotel Clermont as Affordable Winter U.S. Destination.

The respected MICHELIN Guide has recognized our local favorite, Hotel Clermont, as a KEY hotel and one if it’s most affordable destinations for a Winter escape in the U.S.

Being designated as a KEY hotel by MICHELIN puts hotels in a status of their own, being dubbed the “most exciting hotels in the world” often housing a restaurant of notable cuisine and standing. In this case, we have Tiny Lou’s that has received plenty of acclaim and stellar reviews from Conde Nasté Traveler to Bon Appetit.

Hotel Clermont’s rooftop bar is one of Atlanta’s finest, and we can’t mention this local favorite without mentioning is equally (if not more) popular basement bestie, the Clermont Lounge. IYKYK, and if you don’t, look it up.

Rooms here will cost $450/night and it’s well worth the trip to Atlanta or as a staycation for a local Atlien.

Hotel Particulier Montmartre: A Boutique Gem in Paris, France

Paris, France

Searching for a boutique gem to include in your perfect visit à Paris, France? I’ve got you covered. The history and décor of this gorgeous retro-vibe hotel speak for themselves when introducing this exclusive destination.

If you’re not sure why you should have Montmartre, Paris on your list, here’s a quick refresh – it’s a beautiful hilltop village housing the gorgeous Sacré Coeur church with breathtaking views of Paris. Another notable part of the village is Rue de l’Abreuvoir, arguably the most picturesque street in Paris.

The history of Hotel Particulier Montmartre is a major draw. Built in the 19^th century, it was the residence of several noble families including the Hermès family. In 2007, it was purchased by Morgane Rousseau who turned it into a boutique hotel.

Today, it has only 5 unique suites available to book, so don’t procrastinate! Dining and entertainment at the hotel include the restaurant, Le Grand Salon, and cocktail bar, Le Tres Particulier while boasting dining in the largest hotel garden in the French capital. Expect to pay at minimum $470 nightly during low season.

Bonne voyage! https://www.hotelparticulier.com/index.html

Experience the Effortlessly Cool Bowery Hotel in NYC

NYC, New York, USA

A favorite NYC stay is easily the Bowery Hotel

The location (2 blocks from East Village), the DECOR, the friendly teddy bear waiting in your suite – I love everything about this place. The moment you walk in you’ll notice the greenery, the dark lighting, the velvet details and rich colors. This hotel is so. effortlessly. cool. as are many of it’s regular patrons.

Stay a while…

The suites are all beautifully styled with their signature red and white bedding. Options range from the Bowery Queen suite (250 square feet) to the Penthouse Terrace Suite (650 square feet). Pricing starts around $570 per night, but honestly, the atmosphere really transports you to another time in NYC history and is so worth the splurge. The ground floor also boasts Gemma restaurant, an Italian Trattoria with rave reviews.

If the photos (courtesy of TripAdvisor) aren’t enough to convince you to consider the Bowery for your next NYC visit, maybe their Bowery Bear will do the trick. You can even take this cutie home (for a price, ofcourse)!

Join SLH Invited: Exclusive Loyalty Club for Hotel Deals and Perks

If there’s a company I have a major crush on, it’s SLH. Small Luxury Hotels has very user-friendly site allowing you search by the type of accommodation you’re looking for around the world.

On the right side you will usually see ratings and key features of each hotel to help you choose the best option for you.

Another amazing feature (there’s so many!) of SLH is the SLH loyalty club, Invited. By signing up for the FREE membership, you have access to atleast 10% off hotel bookings and sometimes deals up to 30% off!
