Adam and I had really been struggling to figure out what we wanted to do for our anniversary. We tried to book something in Asheville, but everything was full. To make a long story short, after all our wasted time and effort, we decided to just go out to dinner.
On our anniversary morning, a friend of my sister's sent me a message saying she could get us a room at the Ritz Carlton for only $125. Adam and I jumped at the opportunity because when else could we ever afford to stay at the Ritz.
So we go to check in, and the guy tells us that since it's our anniversary, they upgraded us to a special suite on the 20th floor. Adam and I are thinking this is awesome because we expected just a standard room. But then we got up to our room (The Buckhead Suite), and the door to our room was actually double doors, like what you would see in a movie. We walked inside, and we were just floored. There was a dinning room, living room, bedroom on the corner of the building, 2 bathrooms, wood floors, and a shower that was its own room and included a hot tub inside the shower room. The suite was at least 1000 sq ft if not as big as our house.
So it gets better. My sister's friend works on the club floor in the lounge, and she slipped us a key so that we could get free drinks and food. We ended up getting free drinks, appetizers, desserts, breakfast, and lunch. It was unbelievable. Then my sister's friend tells us that there are only 6 special suites in the Ritz, and we were in one of them. There is one more like ours, two that are a step up, and another two that are a step up from that. She also said that our room retails for $1500 a night! Adam and I just kept saying that this would be the nicest hotel room we would ever stay in so we had to enjoy it.
Here are some pictures from our stay!

I am pouring nasty bubble water into the hot tub because it tasted gross (note the slippers).
