IrisMy love of eggs Benedict is well-documented and has been discussed ad nauseum, so there’s no need to wax poetic about it yet again.

However, if you’re looking for a relaxing stay in a chic boutique hotel with a killer spa, whirlpool and lounge, you’re in luck. Did I mention the on-site dining options? (I prefer room service for breakfast and it didn’t disappoint–you know I’m a sucker for a good Benny.) […]
