The St. Regis Atlanta Has a Sweet Tea With Some Kick

Where: 88 West Paces Ferry Road [map], Atlanta, Georgia, United States, 30305

Atlanta's "Beverly Hills East" aka Buckhead is working the sophisticate. The brand new St. Regis Atlanta, where a king-size room starts at $240 and comes with butler service is delivering impressively on dining. The hotel has brought in a notable chef to open their signature restaurant.

Paces 88, led by Atlanta Chef de Cuisine Mark Alba opened just two nights ago. We hear guests can expect an American restaurant with a twist on local and seasonal southern recipes. The Paces 88 name comes from the hotel's address (88 West Paces Ferry Road).

Breakfast sounds killer good with options like the skillet-crisp Georgian trout with shirred eggs, pork belly cracklings and roasted pear compote, or maybe the mini buckwheat and cottage cheese flapjacks with fresh berry salad and warm Vermont syrup. (OK, not all of it is local.) The lunch and dinner menus are equally intriguing, and everything sounds even better after a few St. Regis traditional drinks like the white peach bellini and West Paces Mary.

We want to try their boozehound's spin on sweet tea. The Paces Iced Tea blends Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea vodka, pomegranate juice and lime for thirst-quenching cold summer drink we're pretty sure goes down quickly so we'll be ordering doubles. You'll find us out on the patio by the fountain and tropical backdrop.
