MacArthur Place Review

Ah, there’s nothing to love more than a staycation. The perfect staycation in my book involves a destination that’s an hour or two away, two to three nights booked at a memorable bed and breakfast or luxury hotel with amazing amenities, and going at a relaxed pace. After all – the whole point of staycations is to escape the hustle and bustle of our daily lives!

Layla

Layla stands as the crown jewel of MacArthur Place’s dining experiences. Every single dish is a masterpiece, showcasing the kitchen’s dedication to quality and creativity. Whether you’re carving into a perfectly cooked steak or savoring the fresh zest of expertly prepared seafood platters, dinner at Layla is an unforgettable experience.

My recommendation? Tell your server what you love, don’t love, and allow them to pair the wines for you. Sit back, let them take the wheel, you’d be surprised at how great the entire experience is.

Bar at MacArthur

As for those moments when you’re looking for a dash of sophistication mixed with laid-back vibes, the Bar at MacArthur is your go-to sanctuary.

You can find yourself sitting on an elegant yet comfy chair and being presented with a cocktail menu that reads like an adventure novel.

Each concoction is beautifully made and so artistic, promising a myriad of flavors that both surprise and delight. They make some killer cocktails, if I do say so myself.

The Porch

The Porch is your go-to spot in the AM for a perfectly made cup of coffee and a pastry. I advise coming here and then sitting outside, bathing underneath the morning sun, with a book and journal as your companions.

MacArthur Place is truly a darling property. There’s a spacious lawn in the middle of the property, where you can have a picnic or have a wedding there.
