ADVERTORIAL Our Cover

Icannot believe one year has passed! In one year of amazing testimonies, God sent cover features and layouts and Mind Blowing adventures ... I could go on and on! Throughout this spectacular year, we’ve gotten to stay on breathtaking properties — from the oceanside views in Ft. Lauderdale to the incredible skyrise of The Statler Hotel – Dallas, which is a part of the Curio Collection by Hilton. This beautiful property is the perfect mix of retro chic and modern elegance. As soon as you drive onto the property, you’re greeted by one of several hospitable attendants. Each time we entered or exited the building, the door was always opened with a smile … Well, at least I think they were smiling through their masks. Each of our team members had beautiful king rooms with understated but elegant decor. I have to say … if I had an award to give out, the mattress at The Statler wins “Most Comfy.” Shortly after, a knock at the door with a scrumptious charcuterie board and bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon was served with a handwritten note to welcome us. Our server was friendly and informative. The Statler was off to an amazing start, and we hadn’t been here an hour yet. As if the night couldn’t get any better, we got to enjoy dinner at Waterproof, the 19th floor rooftop lounge venue with great views of the Dallas skyline. You can sit at the bar or poolside, grab an interior table, or sit in cabana-style seating surrounded by breathtaking panoramic views. Definitely a mature atmosphere, great for a group or even a romantic night out.

The Statler has so much to offer, including six dine and drink venues:

• Overeasy – Serving a menu of inspired breakfast, brunch, and lunch items and cocktails, all with a laidback attitude. • Bourbon and Banter – A swanky underground lounge serving innovative cocktails and arguably the finest Bourbon collection in Dallas. • Waterproof – This indoor/outdoor space offers a sunny urban oasis to take a dip in the pool, indulge in refreshing beverages, enjoy bites, and watch the sunset. • Scout – A 4,000 square-foot dining and gaming hall, it’s the perfect spot to make memories over a game of pool or round of bowling. Live music and weekly events are enjoyed. • Sfereco – The American-Italian inspired menu is available for lunch and dinner alongside a curated

Italian cocktail program. • Primo’s MX Kitchen and Lounge – Brings a fresh take on an old favorite with inspirations ranging from the border of Texas to Southern Mexico.
