An upscale boutique hotel, the Bellyard is located in Atlanta’s Westside (in fact, it’s the only hotel on the Westside), which was once known as an industrial neighborhood – but has since become one of the trendiest urban districts in the city, and known for its fantastic spots to dine and drink. Its 161 rooms are modern — boasting a lobby that’s less of a traditional hotel lobby and more of a “hybrid dining and lounging experience” with a restaurant/bar, Drawbar). The property’s architecture and design are a tribute to the neighborhood’s storied history (think: exposed ceiling beams, industrial feeling decor elements like rope and wood inspired by the stockyards). Gaze at the brightly painted mural showcasing the works of a local artist — and there are inspiring pops of color on the outdoor terrace and in the private courtyard garden. It’s an eclectically classy spot to spend a night in Atlanta’s Westside.

Within the last decade, cocktail bars in Asia have firmly stepped out from behind the shadows of their Western counterparts.

Growing up in the UK, I always had a fascination with America. It was probably from watching American movies, TV shows, and music videos, but it was also from watching nature documentaries with my grandad and seeing the Rockies, Death Valley, and the Everglades.

Or from the flashy Hollywood studios, the multi-million-dollar celebrity homes or the Dior parading down Rodeo Drive. But a little over 200 years ago, Los Angeles was a wilderness, just sea and mountains and big sky. Back then, what’s now considered the quintessential US city wasn’t even in America, but in Mexico.
There will be plenty of spots across the United States to watch the next total solar eclipse in 2024, but one of the best viewing spots may be from the sky.
Paying rent has been a part of my life since I started living in an off-campus house in college. It was like the first big adult payment I was responsible for. I would usually pay my rent via check or online portal to the landlord or management company, and it felt like that money was disappearing into a black hole, never to be seen again.
