From point ATL to point b-wherever: Air fare sales too good to ignore!


Hotel Shangri-La, Santa Monica, CA. (by way of Los Angeles International Airport)

From point "ATL" to "be-wherever," AirTran is leading the pack on deals for trips booked between now and 11:59pm on August 25th, with travel through December 16th.

AirTran's low fares from Atlanta include Los Angeles at $119 each way, where Santa Monica’s 70-years old art deco gem--- Hotel Shangri-La, has officially opened its all new outdoor pool and lounge. Part of a $30 million renovation, the pool and lounge are the definition of Southern California living.

Set against the Pacific Ocean, this lush green sanctuary features al fresco dining, an outdoor bar, spacious cabanas, lounge area, with pool and Jacuzzi. Guests are given the opportunity to take a dip in the pool, sip cocktails around the fire pits, or enjoy an intimate meal in one of the draped private cabanas.

This unique outdoor experience is the brainchild of hotelier Tehmina Adaya and designer Marc Smith. The pool and lounge are supported by a multi-tiered deck with citrus trees creating enclaves that provide guests with an unparalleled level of intimacy. Guests are invited into plush chaises and chairs made of reclaimed black teak and upholstered in a classic black and white stripe.

The lounge and pool feature the complete menu from The Dining Room at Hotel Shangri-La; a menu that features the finest in French influenced farm fresh cuisine. The drink list, which showcases two signature drinks, The Shangri-La and The Shangri-La High Tea, are created from fresh squeezed juices.

Hotel Shangri-La has created several special offers in conjunction with this exciting opening. Guests who reserve a cabana for $1000.00 including bottle service and pool-side concierge will receive a one-night stay in one of the hotel’s “Cozy” guest rooms. In addition, hotel guests can reserve cabanas for $125-250 per day. Visit Hotel Shangri-La for reservations.
