Aren’t you all happy that it’s almost Friyay!
I am too, not only because it’s Miami Swim Week, but another long weekend is approaching and I can’t wait for a staycation do-over. If you follow me on Instagram, you must have noticed that after our jam-packed trip to Europe (see more of it here), we enjoyed a weekend at the new Hilton West Palm Beach. Let me just say that we were both very impressed from the minute we walked in. There was live music in their alfresco restaurant, the pool was beautiful and the chic décor was to die for!
After we checked in, we headed to the restaurant to unwind with prohibition-inspired cocktails. The next day, we woke up early to get a head start at the pool, against our bodies’ wishes, after sleeping in the most comfy bed EVER! After making our way to the pool, the fun and very 4th-of-July-appropriate atmosphere was just getting started. There was a live DJ, cute floats and the grill was burning with burgers and hot dogs. We, however, opted for their celebrated brunch, I tried the seared tuna nicoise salad –soooo yummy and totally recommend it if you’re a tuna lover like I– and accompanied it with a mimosa (of course!). While talking to our server, we learned that Hilton West Palm Beach has been hosting themed-brunches throughout the summer. They have tons of activities and entertainment, including lawn games, live tunes and dive-in movies.
After all the pool fun, we wandered to CityPalace shopping center, which is a right across the hotel. We considered watching a movie but had some iced coffee and headed to Worth Avenue instead –about a 10-minute ride from the hotel. It was our first time in Palm Beach, so naturally I NEEDED to check this off my list first.
The following day, we didn’t want the experience to end and because my hubby is a Hilton Honors member, we requested the late-checkout perk. To sum it up, if you become a Hilton Honors member, you get discounted rates, free Wi-Fi, digital check in (in some cases you can even choose your room just as you would select your plane seat), points towards free nights, express check-in and late check-out. It’s free to enroll by the way.
Well, that is all for today! Not sure if you are aware, but Miami Swim Week (which is the equivalent of fashion week but for swimwear) is in full force. And if you want to check out some behind the scenes of what and where I am up to, make sure to follow along through my InstaStories (if you haven’t already sneaked a peek).
¡¿No están felices de que es casi viernes!?
Yo, ¡demasiado! pero sólo porque otro fin de semana largo se acerca y no puedo esperar para otras mini-vacaciones cerca de casa. Si me siguen en Instagram, deben haber notado que después de nuestro viaje a Europa (vean más de el aquí), disfrutamos de un fin de semana en el nuevo hotel de Hilton West Palm Beach. Permítanme decirles que nos estabamos muy impresionados desde el momento en que entramos. Había música en vivo en su restaurante al aire libre, la piscina es preciosa y la bella decoración era para morirse. Después de hacer el check-in, nos dirigimos al restaurante, Galley, para relajarnos con deliciosos cócteles.
Al día siguiente, nos despertamos temprano para disfrutar de la piscina, pero ganas nos faltaban después de dormir en la cama más cómoda ¡del mundo! Al llegar a la piscina, la diversión y el ambiente de 4 de julio estaba comenzando. Había un DJ en vivo, graciosos flotadores y la parrilla estaba ardiendo con hamburguesas y perros calientes. Sin embargo, optamos por su famoso brunch. Probé el atún a la plancha en una ensalada nicoise –bien delicioso y lo recomiendo si son amantes de atún como yo– y lo acompañe con una mimosa (por supuesto). Durante platicábamos con el mesero, aprendimos que el Hilton West Palm Beach ha sido anfitrión de los brunches temáticos durante este verano. Y a parte de los deliciosos platos, tienen muchas actividades y entretenimiento, incluyendo juegos en el césped, música en vivo y películas desde la piscina.
Después de toda la diversión en la alberca, nos dirigimos al centro comercial CityPalace, que se encuentra al frente del hotel. Consideramos ver una película en el cine pero solo tomamos un café frió y seguimos hacia Worth Avenue, que está a unos 10 minutos en coche. Era nuestra primera vez en Palm Beach, así que naturalmente NECESITABA visitar esta emblemática avenida.
Al día siguiente, no queríamos que la experiencia terminara y como mi esposo es un miembro de Hilton Honors, pedimos hacer el check-out más tarde de lo habitual (sin costo alguno). Al convertirse en miembros de Hilton Honors, tienen beneficios como; descuentos en las tarifas, Wi-Fi gratis, pueden hacer el check-in antes de su llegado (en algunos casos pueden incluso elegir su habitación como cuando seleccionan su asiento para un viaje en avión), puntos hacia noches gratis, check-in rápido y check-out tardío. Por lo cierto, es gratis inscribirse.
Bueno, eso es todo por hoy. No sé si están enterados, pero esta semana es Miami Swim Week (el equivalente de Fashion Week pero para trajes de baño) y estaré asistiendo varios eventos y pasarelas. Si desean echar un vistazo tras bastidores asegúrense de seguir mis Historias de Instagram.
