AC Hotel Grand Opening :: My Madison Staycation

Friends, you know I don’t get out all too often, but when the new AC Hotel Madison Wisconsin invited me (yeah, me) to their Grand Opening celebration I couldn’t have been more excited. Not only was I able to do a Madison Staycation with my husband, but I also got to experience downtown in a different way than I ever have before. And let’s be honest, it didn’t hurt getting to wake up just blocks from our beautiful capitol and getting to meet Mr. Nigel Barker! So, take a peek at a few images from my weekend at the AC hotel and enjoy the beautiful views ;)

The rooms we stayed in were beautiful, clean, and modern. I love that not only do we get a mini fridge (that can actually be used) and a coffee maker, but a smart TV to watch your own Netflix (booya). And let me just quickly thank the person who designed the bathrooms, you my friend understand the amount of countertop space a woman needs, so props to you!

The next day was the big grand opening celebration, starting with a champagne popping and wine smashing. It was neat being a part of this opening ceremony and getting to learn a bit more about the AC brand, but also the long road they went through to be able to put this hotel downtown (which literally has one of the best views).

I had to giggle at the pics above, whenever I pose with a guy (which is typically my husband) I touch it stomach area…but when posing with Mr. Barker I didn’t know where to put my hand. I’m thinking he should have gave me some solid posing advice considering his career and all ;)

Lastly, that evening we had the big grand opening celebration and it was so much fun, from the delicious cocktails, amazing food, the live fashion sketches, etc.  For those who have yet to visit Madison I highly recommend a trip and putting this on your list and grabbing yourself a glass of wine at Eno Vino.

Shout out to Ideas That Evoke for killing it too! 

And let’s not forget about the beauty of downtown ;)

And that’s all folks ;)
