Resorts

Ahhhh, springtime- the weather is perfect, the grass is green, and the flowers are blooming. What else does this mean? Easter, one of the best holidays of the year is just around the corner (and has the best candy!). Remember the poofy dresses, pastel colors, and taking photos with the weird man in the bunny suit? Those were the days.

Nothing make a girl feel cooler than spending the day in a posh little hotel. I was lucky enough last week to spend a morning touring the new Westin in Downtown Phoenix, and even got to experience the beautiful restaurant inside, province. This Westin opened March 10, 2011, and only seven months ago was a concrete shell of a commercial space! What was originally set to be offices has been transformed into a boutiquey, luxurious hotel downtown with urban views and modern finishes. 

Any local will tell you that everything is bigger in Texas. And, while each state has its own motto, the Lone Star state certainly lives up to its reputation.
