I’ve had an American Express card practically since I began working.
But, I’ve never fully explored their travel offers…until this month!
And wow…such a deal!
I booked a room at the lovely Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica. I was in Beverly Hills for an SOS event and decided to treat myself to some beach time.
Beach time is an understatement. Amex upgraded me at check-in, and I had an unobstructed view of the Pacific.
Plus, a bathtub in the suite, a $60 daily breakfast credit, and a one-time hotel credit. Plus, early check-in and late check-out.
(Although I was a tad disappointed by the lack of a swimming pool and the closure of the Penthouse restaurant while I was there, the amenities and discounts more than made up for it. Hillstone is a block away, and it’s one of my favorite restaurants. A nice “meditation area” with a hot tub provided a calming place to sit in the sun and work.)
If you happen to have an Amex card, be sure to check out their deals before you book your next trip. I can’t guarantee you an ocean view, but the perks can be pretty amazing!
(And yes…I took a bath in that awesome tub!)
