5 Tips for a Fantastic Staycation

Having a staycation is no easy feat…yes, the definition of a staycation is that you don’t travel anywhere and you stay in a hotel in your own city, seemingly easy, but it’s much more nuanced than that.ย 

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a staycation at Hotel G in San Francisco (yes, I live in Los Angeles but I am often in San Francisco (I grew up in the Bay Area), so staying in this hotel did feel like a staycation for me).ย 

Hotel G was the perfect setting for a staycation: located in downtown San Francisco, close to the best restaurants, bar, and shops (we even scored a seat at San Francisco’s hot Liholiho Yacht Club)ย — the views from the penthouse were incredible and the mid century decor was stylish and plush.ย 

It really was the perfect place to have a night in San Francisco!ย  However, as I mentioned having the perfect staycation takes some planning so scroll down to read 5 tips for a fantastic staycation:

Stay in the Penthouse

DUH! Staying in the penthouse elevates the staycation, with a private terrace, stacked bar, plush beds and a view — you really don’t need to even leave the room!  

Grab your girlfriends

Going on a staycation with gal pals is always fun: you can gossip and gab about just about anything.  Although, a staycation with your significant other is also a real treat!  I say do both!

Bring wine and champagne to enjoy with the view

Wine or champagne on the terrace at the golden hour is a must.  It is a staycation however, so don’t limit yourself to drinking champs just at golden hour!

Live the bathrobe life

Anyone who says they don’t love living the bathrobe life is a liar.  Don’t trust them.  Enjoying your staycation in a bathrobe is an absolute luxury.

Have a fabulous outfit (or two or three!)

Well since I’m a fashion blogger this goes without saying but anytime you have a hotel room to get ready in and enjoy a short walk to some of the best restaurants the the city has to offer: make sure to being a great outfit!

There is it: my 5 tips for a fantastic staycation.  Now get planning!
