Sometimes you just need a breakโbut not a full-blown vacation. Thatโs where a staycation comes in handy! Instead of hopping on a plane, I packed up my pup, Riley, and hit the road for a solo reset trip to Macon, Georgiaโjust 1 hour and 15-30 minutes from Atlanta. If youโre looking for an easy getaway without the stress of long-distance travel, Macon might just be the move!
Where to Stay: Hotel Forty Five ๐จ๐ถ
When it comes to accommodations, I had to go with @hotelfortyfive, a stylish, dog-friendly spot located right in the heart of downtown Macon. The location is perfectโyou can walk to tons of restaurants, bars, and attractions, making it super convenient.
One of the best things about Hotel Forty Five? Their on-site restaurant, @loommacon. The atmosphere is top-tier, and the food? Letโs just say I wasnโt disappointed! If youโre looking for a chill night in, they also have a rooftop bar with light bites. You can sip your drink on the terrace and soak in the stunning views of downtown Maconโitโs a whole vibe!

Monday Night Fun: Where to Go in Macon ๐ถ๐น๐จ
If youโre visiting Macon on a Monday night, you already know I found the best spots to turn up without breaking the bank!
๐ฅ Vibez โ This spot goes all the way up on Mondays with $1 hookah and $1 margaritas! Yes, you read that right. The music is good, the crowd is lively, and itโs the perfect way to kick off the night.
๐ฅ Niche Lounge โ After Vibez, make your way to Niche Lounge, where they serve $10 hookah on Mondays and keep the party going late into the night. If you love R&B vibes, this is the place to beโthe DJ knows exactly what theyโre doing!
