As the snowflakes gently descend from the sky and the aroma of festive treats fills the air, it’s that magical time of the year again – the Holiday season.
Wishing all my readers joy, warmth, and a season filled with love and laughter!
As the author of Gen’s Delights , the question that is often thrown my way is how do I “Delight” myself during this festive season?
The short but broad answer is “quality time spent with friends and family” , however for those who know me, I always try to include a moment of respite that I reserve just for myself to enjoy a bit of self-pampering.
Of course if I can add a few of my favorite elements to the mix: fine cuisine, elegant fashion, refined location and joyful music, then I know I am in for a real treat !
While there are countless ways to celebrate, why not elevate your holiday experience with a luxurious winter stay at the heart of Montreal, in the enchanting Sofitel Hotel?
