A short stroll from The Kensington reveals an array of charming boutiques and restaurants. Afternoon tea at The Kensington’s Town House. Rooms at The Kensington are dressed in sumptuous fabrics and stately silhouettes. Lined with charming shops, The Marylebone is nestled into a vibrant, fashion-forward neighborhood. The Marylebone Suite gives a contemporary edge to your sky-high stay. Cocktails at The Coral Room are a must when visiting The Bloomsbury.

Dunya Camp holds court in a secluded portion of the North Georgia Mountains. Safari-style tents reveal layers of 5-star design elements. A cedarwood hot tub is prime for sunsets or stargazing. A soaking tub and double vanity takes the camping experience up a notch. Dinner on the top deck is the best seat in the surrounding area. The Sunset Grand Tent is fitted with restful amenities that encourage guests to fully unplug. R-E-S-P-I-T-E.

Glasses clinked with generous pours, excited chatter filled the room, followed by cheers from winning attendees. The 45th annual Design Excellence Awards, held on Thursday, May 14 at Flourish in Atlanta, were certainly a night to remember. Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles attended the ceremony and celebrated the winners all evening long. Broken into residential and commercial categories, the competition is fierce.
