Here are a few cool spaces I've seen and would love to plan for!
Andaz 5th Avenue - the finest from the Hyatt brand. I stayed here a couple trips ago to NYC and, well, hotel life hasn't been the same since. Directly across from Bryant Park this hotel was full of tastemakers. Finely appointed, it was hosting the NYC cocktail club while we were there - tres chic.
Malibu Cafe - on vacation with girlfriends (also event planners!), we did not make it to the beach but we DID make it to the romantic Malibu Cafe for wonderful cocktails and grilled artichokes! A very California day...
National Airline History Museum and Hangar - Party down in a airplane hangar with vintage airplanes! Kansas City, Missouri
The Parker Palm Springs - desert life + glam + Jonathan Adler decor = fantasy life. Who wouldn't want to sip a cocktail in your kaftan? Put on the bossa nova, baby! Palm Springs, California
A steakhouse? In TAMPA? Recommended to me by a trusted friend, I dined there and promptly wept. For there is no other experience like Bern's. It's one part vintage bordello and one part Casa Bonita and one part Wine Spectator. Award winning, local farming, bla bla - the cheese cave and dessert room is perfect and the steak is best - Bern's Steakhouse
I plan to keep up with these recommendations - what are some of your favorites?
