The new Club MSY, a premium lounge, opened at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
At the center is a saxophone-shaped bar, along with other premium elements, like a handblown crystal chandelier, photography by David Spielman and artwork by Ayo Scott — both local artists. The 4,700-square-foot lounge sits on the third level of the airport’s Concourse A.
Visitors can enjoy New Orleans-inspired cuisine created by Chef John Folse, and cocktails and spirits curated by mixologist Kathy Casey. The lounge, from Airport Dimensions, includes various “zones” for productivity, relaxation, rest, replenishment (dining), refreshing (restrooms and showers) and a bar.
The new lounge is the 24th airport lounge by Airport Dimensions (part of the Collinson group), and follows the recent opening of Club SJC at Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International. It’s open to members of Priority Pass, LoungeKey and Lounge Club. Day passes are $40, discounts are extended to AAA members. Hours are 4:30 a.m.–9:30 p.m., daily.
This is the third lounge inside Louis Armstrong International Airport’s new terminal, which opened November 2019. The airport also has a Delta Sky Club on the third floor of Concourse C and a United Club on the first level of Concourse C.

Sep 23, 2021Host a Fabled Business Event in Wonderful Copenhagen
I imagine that when writer Hans Christian Andersen mused, “Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale,” he was standing at the edge of Copenhagen’s historic Tivoli Gardens, one of his favorite haunts, enlivened by the swirl of human happiness that surrounded him: children laughing; carousels spinning; games of chance played for prizes; lovers holding hands; hungry people whispering over sweets, hot drinks, beer and towering, open-faced smørrebrød, Denmark’s quintessential sandwich. That fairy tale lives on today at the second-oldest amusement park in the world, a spectacle of folly architecture, bakeries, gardens, rides, restaurants, puppet shows and joy ... and which also happens to be one of the city’s most storied places to convene for business.

Sep 22, 2021La Concha Resort Puerto Rico Review
Arriving early afternoon in Puerto Rico, we jumped in an Uber and took a short, 15-minute drive from the airport to La Concha. As it was Tuesday, the streets were not too busy and the hotel lobby was calm. During the weekend, the scene likely would have been more bustling. We were greeted by a staff member who requested proof of vaccination and government-issued ID, and were given a wristband to indicate we were fully vaccinated. All guests are required to be vaccinated and wear masks at all times while moving around the hotel. Hand sanitizer stations were placed around the lobby, in elevators and in each common area.

Sep 21, 2021Retreat into Luxurious Stillness at The Rittenhouse Spa & Club
The Rittenhouse has long stood out as one of Philadelphia’s finest hotels, centrally located in one of the city’s poshest neighborhoods. Needless to say, I knew I was in for an afternoon of luxurious pampering when I hopped in my car and headed down I-95 from my suburban home to the heart of the City of Brotherly Love. As I drove through the seemingly endless roadwork on the highway, I realized just how long it had been since I’d driven this once-familiar route into the city as a result of the pandemic. Of course I was eager for the relaxation and bliss that was in my future, but it was also a welcome feeling to head back into Philadelphia for a moment of normalcy.
