"This contemporary, cosmopolitan hotel in the heart of the Mississippi Delta is a "nice, quiet getaway that’s made even more fun when paired with its cooking school and spa." Guest rooms are decorated in browns and purples reminiscent of the colors of delta earth and have oversized marble baths and local artwork. Cooking classes in the Viking Cooking School across the street cover topics like ethnic cuisine, basic techniques, and baking. The 7,000-square-foot spa offers a complete menu of treatments, including some designed for men. Order steaks, seafood, and Italian from the "excellent menu" at Giardina’s."
