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.
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).
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) — the views from the penthouse were incredible and the mid century decor was stylish and plush.
It really was the perfect place to have a night in San Francisco! 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!
