February is a rough month. The promise of spring is real, but the cold, gray days can feel inescapable.

Lighten your metaphysical load with a little getaway to Longman & Eagle. Cuddle up in our beds (with custom Unison Home bedding, no less), gorge yourself on our mini-bar, and warm up from the inside out with our whiskey. For the entire month of February, we’re including a two complimentary whiskey flights with each stay – one for you and one for your travel companion, or just two for you (like we said, February is a rough month). Our bartenders will hand select three pours from our L&E flight list for you to enjoy and talk you through each selection. It’s amazing what a little whiskey and R+R can do for your perspective!
