Excuse me while I temporarily turn into a travel b $Excuse me while I temporarily turn into a travel blogger, because this was a WILD trip. We did not plan this and I didn’t know about this before. With our health and wellness journey, it’s hard to find places to stay where you get a great night’s sleep, a great gym, healthy food, and lots of active things to do. We did not plan to stay at the @ritzcarltonwashingtondc, but after our original hotel had their whole computer system down, we had to switch hotels last minute. I’ve never used credit card rewards before, and I’m glad I tried it on this trip. In the taxi on the way to the hotel, I booked through @americanexpress travel using the Platinum Card - I’ll put a referral link in my stories if that’s helpful because it has a bonus. I got this card two weeks ago and it has already paid for itself several times over. The hotel rate was comparable to several other 3 and 4 star hotels -a fraction of the normal rate, we got a $200 credit back, $100 in food, and $150 experience credit, which I used part of to to to the @equinox which is IN the hotel— the biggest gym I’ve ever seen in my life. I was a very happy camper. And the kids had organic eggs and gluten-free pancakes for breakfast! It was their first time ever having room service, and they enjoyed every minute. But more than any of these travel perks, the hotel team was all my customer delight dreams come true. Thank you, Adeline, Vena, Solomon, Asefa and team. Above and beyond. When our flights got canceled and we had to return to the hotel, we were not sad about it. We ended up having to rent a car and drive home, and Vina and Adeline surprised us with a giant bag of travel snacks! What!? So, if you are looking for a quiet hotel in DC near all the museums and monuments, this is it. And if you are looking for a fitness and wellness retreat, this is it, too. We were a block from @wholefoods, where we got groceries and snacks for the room. @sweetgreen is in the same building as the hotel - a great healthy dinner spot. @equinox was ahhhhmazing - a huge sports club with a cafe and the guest room elevators go right there. This was a spring break for the kids—and for me. #fitnesstravel #wellnessretreat$
