Deck the halls! Virgin Hotels partners with Bucket Listers to deliver a Black Irish by Mariah Carey-themed festive experience for the holiday season. Black Irish by Mariah Carey is a premium Irish cream liqueur founded and inspired by the heritage of the global superstar. Through Dec. 19, the exclusive Mariah Carey’s Black Irish Holiday Bar will be on offer at select Virgin Hotels in Chicago, Dallas, Nashville, New Orleans and New York City. It looks like a great time, and I hope I can find a chance to visit one of the pop-ups.
The bar will fully take over various spaces in the hotels, transforming them into holiday-themed wonderlands. Décor will include a wreath to sit on and recreate the Carey album cover, an interactive photo booth, a lyric wall and much more. Black Irish cocktails will include Black Irish White Chocolate Irish Cream and a Signature Espresso Martini. The Cocoa Coffee is spiked with Black Irish Irish Cream and topped with glitter sprinkles and edible butterflies, another nod to Carey.

May 23, 2025Relax, Rejuvenate and Heal at StolenTime
At the namesake luxury, 5-star all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia, the concept of “stolen time” used to be reserved for couples escaping to canoodle, reconnect and perhaps rekindle in sumptuous accommodations during a romantic getaway on the lush Caribbean island. But when StolenTime by Rendezvous rebranded in late 2022 to welcome all adult guests and focus more on wellness, the philosophy expanded to encompass self-reflection, personal growth and enrichment. After all, time is our most precious commodity, one that’s finite and too quickly slips through our grasp; we need to find those moments that matter and make them count.
