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.

Yebo Beach Haus: South African Flavors and Coast-Cool Vibe in Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia, USA

A longtime favorite of the Buckhead crowd, Yebo Beach Haus boasts an impressive menu influenced by South African flavors, including delicious cocktails and wine. Yebo stays busy and it’s coast-cool vibe keeps patrons returning. You’ll find the new location in the The Courtyard West Village located in Andrews Square with convenient parking and easy ride share access. During the colder seasons, Yebo transforms into the Ski Haus – fun!

If there’s one tip I can provide for a visit to Yebo, it’s to have the Dirty Martini. I love a Dirty Mar and let me say, this is one of the best I’ve had – trust me! What makes it so good?

You can’t go wrong with this menu – my sister and I started with the Spicy Tuna Roll and both had the Pan Seared Scallop entrée – both were delish. Dinner and martini’s were followed by a glass of South African Cabernet (IMO, you can’t go wrong with any S.A. vino!).

If you’re looking for a consistently great spot for date night, after-work drinks or a group celebration – Yebo is a great option.

Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Fairly new to the Atlanta food scene is The Chastain, and if you’re looking for a date night spot or a cute patio to sip your wine, this is a great option.

Fairly new to the Atlanta (Buckhead specifically) food scene is The Chastain, and if you’re looking for a date night spot or a cute patio to sip your wine, this is a great option. The restaurant is housed in a beautiful modern-rustic style building with ample outdoor space and a covered tent for cooler or rainy weather.

The Executive Chef, Christopher Grossman, has a impressive resume including previous Executive Chef of another acclaimed Atlanta restaurant, Atlas.

The menu consists of simple, and delicious, courses inspired by the best local ingredients and seasonal harvest, and a very nice wine selection. Everything we had was great (photos at left)! Items not to miss include the giant turkey wing appetizer and the chocolate chip cookie dessert.
