So I'm officially going full send on the holidays and here's

one that you've got to make happen this season.

So to me, it truly doesn't feel like holiday season

without a stop at the iconic Adolphus hotel downtown.

Now, the hotel in itself is a vibe in its own right.

But I personally love their holiday activations that they

have going on throughout the entire hotel each year.

Each holiday season though they deck out their rooftop with a

theme and this year is a winter village ski lodge theme.

The whole rooftop is filled with fire pits and several

cozy and festive areas to sit and chill with friends, have a drink, grab a bite.

My favorite though has to be these mini yurts.

So I was pleasantly surprised by the cuteness of these little yurts

At the bar you'll find the cutest holiday cocktails like this espresso Martini in a

honey bear and some spiked hot chocolate with hand torched marshmallows

if you're in the mood for something warm.

you can also get it with or without booze.

We grab our drinks and took them back to our little yurt where we,

of course, had a little mini party with just the two of us.

And when we were there, they had a saxophonist playing live music.

We wrapped up with a photo op and then decided to head downstairs

to check out the Cocoa Lounge pop up at the French Room bar.

This is also a space that they transition so beautifully for the holidays.

We found a seat and ordered a round of drinks and a few of

our favorite snacks and just sat and talked and had a nice little evening.

Now send this to a friend who's in the holiday

spirit and make a reservation while you can.

We had the most incredible dining experience at The Saint. The Saint is a cozy and intimate steakhouse with the best food and the best drinks. This spot is perfect for any occasion and we CAN NOT wait to go back!

Where you can soak in absolute mineral perfection

amongst the amenities such as a yoga studio,

During our experience, I was especially impressed by how clean the atmosphere was

and how friendly and accommodable the staff were.

The lockers were absolutely incredible and

provided you incredible amenities such as

secluded locker spaces where you can actually

lock your belongings and keep them safe, private

rooms, and truly everything that you would need to have a full fledged experience.

The dining and bar area did not skip a beat. It had some very healthy and tasty options

with a full bar to accommodate any drink of your preference.

We decided to go with the mocktail and alcoholic Manea Sunset

which had rum infused tropical properties

and we got the three cheese flatbread, which absolutely was to die for these.

We were set up in a cute little cabana style where we had the view

in our midst and we were able to relax and enjoy each other's company.

and it's nice because your pass actually includes three

hours for you to roam around the property and get the most out of your experience.

We went to the European region which had really warm waters.

I had to try the cold plunge and guys, I don't know about you,

This is not for the week, but I highly recommend

then I had to head over to the sauna to warm up

a bit as the cold plunge was not particularly for me,

but the sauna was quaint and very secluded.

We hit up every single region and it was truly hard

for me to decide which one I liked the most.

We noticed the lights were in the pool and it made for a very atmospheric experience.

Before we wound down for the evening. We hit the fire pits which go on at 7 p.m.

I highly recommend visiting this incredible property.
