💖The Ultimate Girls’ Weekend in Buckhead: Spa, Sips, and Style

Because Buckhead was built for blowouts, bottomless brunch, and bonding over boutique bags.

About This Guide

If you and your girls are overdue for a glow-up getaway, Buckhead is your Southern stage. This neighborhood brings the glam, the calm, and the cocktails — whether you’re celebrating a milestone or just escaping your group chat’s emoji-only chaos.

This two-day itinerary has it all: facials, frosé, luxury lounging, and the kind of photo ops that make your Stories look sponsored. (They’re not… yet.)

Day 1: Spa, Sip, and Set the Mood

1. Waldorf Astoria Spa

📍Peachtree Road
Hydrotherapy pool, eucalyptus steam room, private treatment suites. Basically: you arrive stressed and leave a glazed doughnut with perfect skin.
💡 Book this: The Georgia Peach Collagen Facial + Champagne enhancement.

2. Lunch at The Garden Room

📍St. Regis Atlanta
Floral maximalism meets mid-day cocktails. It’s more vibe than meal, which is exactly what you need after a massage and before a group photo shoot.
💡 Order this: Tuna tartare + a Garden Spritz (served with flair).

3. Shopping at Buckhead Village District

📍Peachtree & East Paces
From Veronica Beard to Zimmermann, this curated stretch of designer boutiques is the real star of the show. Window shopping counts as cardio here.
💡 Look for: Pop-up flower carts, rooftop DJs, and monogrammable things.

4. Dinner at Carmel

📍Buckhead Village
Coastal California cuisine with a hint of Rosé All Day energy. Relaxed enough for laughter, refined enough for birthday selfies with oysters.
💡 Order this: Charred artichokes + a bottle of something cold and pale.

Day 2: Blowouts, Brunch, & Bestie Moments

5. Drybar Buckhead

📍Buckhead Exchange
No one regrets a blowout — especially when paired with mimosas and gossip. Make a group booking and bring matching robes if you’re that kind of crew.
💡 Pick this: The Cosmo for bounce, or the Mai Tai for beachy vibes.

6. Brunch at Le Bilboquet

📍Buckhead Village
Euro patio chic, steak frites, and eye candy in every direction. Expect a DJ, designer bags, and zero judgment for ordering champagne at 11:01AM.
💡 Order this: Cajun chicken + frites with a side of gossip.

7. Flower Arranging or Brunch Board Workshop

📍Pop-Up Locations & Private Parties
Book a DIY experience for the group: think floral design, charcuterie boards, or custom candle pouring. Great for low-key bonding and high-impact content.
💡 Check availability: Many offer mobile workshops right to your hotel suite.

Insta-Worthy Photo Ops

• The Garden Room’s floral ceilings (you knew this already)
• Lucian Books & Wine – for your “reading but make it couture” moment
• Swan House lawn – for history-meets-heels drama
• Any Drybar mirror – because fresh hair deserves evidence

Packing List for the Perfect Girls’ Weekend

• Spa robe (optional, but iconic)
• Comfy-but-cute walking shoes
• A bag you can’t explain to your accountant
• Hair ties, Advil, and under-eye patches
• One outfit that screams “I don’t live here, but I could.”

Final Toast

Buckhead is bougie in the best way — and your girls’ weekend deserves nothing less. Whether you’re sipping, shopping, spa-ing, or saying “we need to do this more,” consider this your invitation to indulge with style.
