This summer, treat yourself to some much deserved rest and relaxation without the hassle of airport security lines or spending hours in a car by planning a “staycation” right here in the Memorial District.
The first step is choosing luxurious accommodations at one of the many hotels in the area. Don’t want your pooch to be left behind? They can join you at the stylish Hotel ZaZa. Making it a fun-filled family vacation? Enjoy a kitchen in each suite or grill dinner on the on-site gazebo grill at the Candlewood Suites. Want to be connected to Memorial City Mall and all the fun and shopping it offers? Stay at the Westin Memorial City. Or are you looking for a romantic or relaxing getaway? The Hotel Sorella has several packages from which to choose. They've also generously offered our readers the opportunity to win a one-night stay at the hotel! Simply like and comment “I want a staycation” by August 5, 2018, on the associated Memorial District’s Facebook post and you'll be entered to win a free night at the Hotel Sorella.
Next is the hard part - choosing what to do! With so many options there is definitely something for everyone. Grab some ice skates and head to the rink at Memorial City Mall, catch the latest blockbuster and a meal at the Studio Movie Grill or practice your bowling skills at Bowl & Barrel.
If you want to take it a little slower then book a spa appointment at Beautique Day Spa or a mani/pedi at Bora Bora Pedi-Spa Nails. Don’t forget to check the event calendars for The Square at Memorial City and the Plaza at CityCentre where live music and other summer activities are on the schedule throughout the day and evening.
Of course, be sure to leave some time to go shopping at Memorial City Mall or stroll around the walkable CityCentre. Take a break and cool off with a chilled wine at The Tasting Room or satiate your sweet tooth with a macaron at Sweet. Wrap the evening up one of the many bars and pubs in the areas like The Yard House.
Whether it’s a short one-night staycation or a multi-day vacation, The Memorial District has plenty of things to do right here in your own backyard. So what will your plans be?
