    Modern Luxury on Jul 19, 2009 1:37 PM PDT
    English fits the need for an upscale bar and restaurant in downtown Chicago's trendy River North area. Housed in a 120-year-old building, English stretches through three floors of ultimate party atmosphere. The bar also serves lunch and dinner, but you'll find the most crowds here at night, when the hot-spot really comes to life! The best part? You can rent out a single floor for just your crew; each floor holds 100 people and comes equipped with its own private bar.

    Breathtaking seascapes and beaches, eccentric cultures, and the planet's biggest party destination? What more could you ask for! Summer in Ibiza really means season of soiree, as the beginning of June marks the kickoff for the largest and craziest nightclubs in the world. There's no excuse for skipping the nightlife here, with beach bars for daytime playtime, hot spots to sip and watch the sunset, raging parties for nighttime nonsense, and after party bars that extend the hours of the semi-regulated closing time of 6am. If you're one who's gotta have their party and their getaway, The Insotel Fenicia Prestige is just the place to get the luxury time you need in between flitting about the boundless social scene. This first class resort features its own top-notch bars and restaurants, spectacular views and services, and a spa to spoil you senseless, all making for a secluded kind of fun for even the most zealous of party people to recuperate. With suites galore, who could say no to amenity lists featuring luxuries like "terrace" and "hydromassage shower" epitomized by the surroundings of this immensely beautiful island? The hotel's location says it all, close enough to the hot spots, yet away enough to tour Ibiza's natural beauty. With exhausting hidden beaches and coves to explore via Vespa, even the party-pooper will flip over the incredible Balearic island adventure in store within the outskirts of the resort. Whether it be club or cove hopping, this quickly-navigable, small but bustling hotspot of an island will be the intoxicating getaway you've been craving!

    With Earth Day having been just around the corner, perhaps you're looking for a way to make your wedding a tribute to our pretty-green planet.

Make your venue a green get-away of its own -- with an outdoor garden-themed wedding! The bouquets and flower arrangements will all be plucked to perfection, so now lets get those bridesmaids in bloom with a dress fit for the theme! These dresses are sweet like fresh-cut flowers and will give your maids just the touch of garden-y green to transform your outdoors into the botanical destination you've been pining for. Get your girls to melt right into your surroundings to make yourself standout. Not to worry, though... a touch of green with your maids won't make them green with envy either -- they'll thank you for picking a gown that actually isn't a nightmare of a bridesmaid's dress!

    Mexico's La Purificadora Hotel Serves Up A Refreshing Place ...

    Who would have ever envisioned that a colonial-era water purification plant in Pueblo, Mexico, could one day be transformed into a modern sanctuary? Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta had both the vision and the talent to transform the original 1884 structure into its current state, La Purificadora, a stylish 26-guest room architectural masterpiece and colonial oasis. When designing the hotel, Legorreta drew inspiration from the original structure's purpose by using "purity" as the guiding theme in his design. The 3-story open-air lobby of La Purificadora may be minimalistic in color (only black, white, and purple are used), but it's not without industrial-sized drama by means of a stone staircase that floats majestically down to the main entry below. All 26 of the guest rooms are filled with colonial influence, contemporary flavor, and spectacular views of the city. Tranquil water served as the inspiration for the rooftop terrace's 30-meter glass-sided lap pool, as well as the glass closets in guest rooms, and the glass balconies that can be found throughout the hotel. And what stylish new hotel can be complete without a trendy on-site restaurant? Well, La Purificadora's no exception. The hotel's ground floor restaurant serves up gourmet versions up regional Mexican specialties like mole-rubbed beef and conchinita pibil. So the next time that you're craving a getaway like you crave a tall and refreshing glass of water, consider paying a visit to La Purificadora.
