Step 1: Give Yourself a Decadent Base
We all know that a trip is only as good as your accommodation, so start your weekend as you mean to go by taking the time to search for nice hotels in Atlanta. Remember, this is all about treating yourselves without kids moaning in your ears or men complaining about the girl stuff, so don’t be afraid to get decadent with your choices. Luxury Atlanta hotels like the FORTH hotel put you in the heart of Atlanta action, while also offering benefits such as on-site wellness facilities, and suites that can see you all relaxing together before heading out to take on everything that Atlanta has to offer.
Step 2: Make Time for Shopping
Between visits to must-see locations like Altanta’s Botanical Gardens and historical houses, you’ll want to make a little time for shopping. This city is well known for its unique shopping experiences, making it a fantastic spot for getting stuck into a little retail therapy. One shopping district that’s particularly worth your attention is the Ponce City Market, which is located in the historic Sears building on Ponce de Leon Avenue. Here, you can enjoy shops from top brands including Anthropologie and West Elm, as well as plenty of restaurants, bars, and even carnival rides for extra fun! Other top Atlanta shopping spots include the design collective Westside Market, and vintage-central Little Five Points.
Step 3: Find the Best Places to Drink
Your girly weekend is all about letting your hair down, so you’re probably keen to enjoy plenty of drinks while you’re away. Luckily, Atlanta doesn’t disappoint here, with plenty of bars on offer. According to TimeOut, the top bars in the city right now include Red Phone Booth, an upscale lounge that you can only access by dialing the day’s secret code into a literal red phone booth, and Bar Margot, a retro drinking hotspot with a library of more than 10,000 vinyls. You could even enjoy a little something different, with cocktails after dark in the Botanical Gardens, or by booking one of the Fernbank After Dark events, which can see you enjoying exhibits at the Fernbank Museum with the backdrop of a full bar.
You’re certain to enjoy a weekend away in Atlanta with the girls, especially if you plan your itinerary around these top tips.
