EmbracE thE Joy of missing out Unwind in Luxury at Lookout Mountain Perched atop Lookout Mountain , Cloudland at McLemore Resort, Curio by Hilton promises mountainous panoramas and amenities like golfing, fine dining, and a luxuriant spa. This golfer’s paradise features two 18-hole courses, a six-hole short course, a putting green, and a driving range. Of these, the most acclaimed is the challenging Highlands Course . Its design – created by masterminds Bill Bergin and Rees Jones – boasts astounding cliff-edge holes. Even if you’re not a golfer, there are many ways to unwind with North Georgia’s rugged mountains as the backdrop. Throw on a buttery-soft robe and head to Selah Spa to lounge in a eucalyptus-scented steam room, followed by a grounding essential-oil wrap or cleansing hydrotherapy ritual. Then, trade the spa for wide-open skies – sip wine on Skyside ’s open-air deck for big views of the mountains from all sides. As dusk deepens, step into Auld Alliance for French and Scottish flavors fused together in dishes like toasted brioche topped with escargot and parsley butter, or a foie gras-style haggis. For even more mountain views, head to nearby Cloudland Canyon State Park : saddle up on a bike or lace up your hiking boots for paths that carve through dense forests and along cliffside terrain, leading to Instagrammable overlooks just begging to be shared. Each season brings its own beauty in Georgia’s mountainscape, from vibrant summer greens to ruddy crimsons and golds.
