Well-behaved dogs are invited to the Hotel Indigo in Atlanta’s Midtown when their people visit, with no weight limit and no deposit necessary! I can’t tell you how much that means to me, a big bruiser of a Labrador. If you mention you’ll be bringing your canine pal when making your reservations, the hotel will even include a dog bed, food and water bowls, and a dog-focused magazine in your room.

 

Visit the Hotel Indigo between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and your pooch gets a special treat—the Canine Cocktail Hour. Every Tuesday from 5 to 8 p.m., bring your pup to enjoy complimentary treats and water, while people indulge in more traditional libations. You can even order a more substantial meal for Fido from a doggie menu, which includes chicken and steak entrées.

 

Stay for pet photo ops from the pupperazzi, in the signature Hotel Indigo chair. Sounds like the perfect place for me: a chair, some food and drink, and camera attention!

 

Standard room rates start at $149 (weekend) and $179 (weekday) per night. 683 Peachtree St., tel. 404-874-9200. www.midtownatlantahotel.com

Do you know someone who loves ancient Egyptian culture? Do they continue to surprise you with interesting (yet useless) facts about Amenhotep and mummification techniques? If this sounds like someone you know, I may have found the perfect holiday gift. Consider taking your history buff to Atlanta for an unforgettable exhibit entitled, “Tutankhamun the Golden King and the Great Pharaohs” at the Atlanta Civic Center.

 

From Nov. 15 to April 19, 2009, the Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel will be offering a King Tut/First Emperor VIP Package. The package includes one night of deluxe accommodations at Atlanta Marriott Marquis, breakfast for two, two VIP tickets with front of the line access to the exhibit (even if it’s sold out), two tickets for the First Emperor exhibition and complimentary hotel parking, for rates from  $259 to $429.

 

The exhibition includes Egyptian must-sees like the tomb of Tutankhamun, jewelry from his tomb and those of other pharaohs, and much more.
