Just when you thought I had disappeared, here I am back, recently returned from the UCDA (University & College Designers Association) Conference in Atlanta, Georgia at the InterContinental Buckhead hotel.
I really do hate flying from the west coast to the east; with the three-hour time difference and a plane change, by the time I arrived an entire day is shot. The hotel was beautiful though, so I had that going for me!
Not necessarily my vibe, but I do appreciate the look of it.
The art was amazing, including this painting which “melted” off the canvas and spilled over onto the walls. Nice touch!
Interesting sculpture pieces throughout…
The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. My home for the next few days!
The only thing on my agenda was to have an early dinner (we’re talking Senior Citizen time) and then crash. On my last visit to Atlanta, I had enjoyed dinner at the Southe City Kitchen restaurant in midtown Atlanta.
Right across the street from the hotel was the Buckhead location. Say no more.
I had a table out on the patio with a view.
The Fried Green Tomatoes melted in my mouth. They were DELICIOUS!
For my entrée, I selected the Springer Mountain Farms Fried Chicken. Good choice #2.
The Chocolate Chess Tart was good choice #3.
I was in bed by 7pm, which made it easier for an early morning swim.
The hotel’s pool was gigantic; perfect for laps.
Since my sessions didn’t begin until later in the day, I ventured off with my camera to Buckhead.
More on that coming up!

Interesting, modern, and not what I would think is your preferred style, but it does look clean and organized. It looks a lot like the interior of the new DVC suites they just built at the DL Hotel, only I suspect Buckhead doesn't charge the same as an annual membership to DVC. The fried green tomatoes and fried chicken look amazing.
ReplyDeleteBryan - Unfortunately I didn't get to pick the Conference hotel! Still, it was nicely appointed and I loved the pool!
