Good collection of stores. The escalators appear to be perpetually in service and what are working can sometimes become a pinch point for movement. The parking garage is massive and in need of more exit instructions. Saw several cars driving around looking to leave. The AMC theater has the new recliner seats which are a major improvement.

It's a mall and everything negative that comes along with any mall. It's crowded. Parking is a pain. blah blah.

Other than that, though, it's a really great mall. Very well thought out. it's easy to get to anything you want to get to. If you use Google Maps or Point Inside and you know where to park, this is the easiest mall around to just get in and out of.

Although I love visiting Phipps Plaza once a year ...

Although I love visiting Phipps Plaza once a year to take my children to see Santa, I would never hang out here regularly, shop here regularly...Armani? Tiffany? Come on. This ain't a mall for "regular" folks.

The mall is truly gorgeous, a bastion to conspicuous consumption. It's well lit and spotlessly clean, with marble and mahogany accents, interesting architectural features like columns and curved staircases and abundant greenery.

The shops are upscale - designer fashions, handbags, jewelery and watches, not to mention high end electronics and all the home goods you could desire to make your house Pinterest perfect, or Architectural Digest perfect if that's more your style.

I have been coming to Phipps since I was a kid. As a child, it was to visit their beautiful Santa In college, I frequented the AMC movie theater.

Now I have kids of my own and happily live OTP. Each year in July I faithfully make my pre-registration to see Santa. It is so worth it y'all. Their Santa a beautiful, kind, just an all around stellar guy who makes your kids feel special. Also special is NOT having to stand in a mall Santa line with all manner of humanity for hours to get a five minute visit Santa. When you register to see the Phipp's Santa, you get a set time and date for your visit. The longest we've waited once we arrived is 20 minutes.

We drive in while my husband clings, white knuckled, to the steering wheel, gazing in horror at the insane traffic around us at the Lennox/Phipps exit.

We park at the Phipps Parking deck. It's free and there are always plenty of spots available - thank you Phipps folks!

We head inside for a stop at Starbucks, always staffed by a rotating crew of college kids who know - and care - way more about coffee than we ever will. We take a seat at one of their tables located right in the middle of a mall corridor for some fascinating people watching.

Hipster dudes with laser-cut beards and roll-cuffed jeans.

The teenage children of the Atlanta elite out in small packs, girls already looking infinitely bored at 16, swinging shiny boutique bags, sporting handbags that cost more than I made in the first quarter of 2018.

Their boyfriends follow a few steps behind, athletic and overwarm in puffer vests looking a little lost.

Wealthy matrons with impeccable coifs and chunky statement jewelery, undoubtedly with real stones, unlike mine that came from eBay.

A few families that wandered away from the welcoming chaos of the Legoland at the other side of the mall and found themselves lost in the jungle of conspicuous consumption at its finest.

Some antivax moms, smelling deliciously of essential oils and old money and laughing delightedly as their free range children climb the indoor landscape features. Don't you just love Tiernan's curious nature?

And finally, some aggressively ITP couples, smelling of new money and expensive aftershave, looking for just the right luxury watch that screams "I make six figures!" but in an understated way, but that people will still notice and be impressed.

I kid, but only a little. Would it be great to have the kind of cash required for a day of shopping at Phipps, YES indeed. Will it happen to me if we don't win the Fantasy Five? Nope. So for now, all I have is snark and student loan debt. (The people watching really is fabulous though!)

We visit Santa, in and out in under 20 minutes, (Did I mention this year we went as Jurassic Park characters?!) then snap a few selfies under the Christmas trees behind the huge curved staircases.

I take a peek in the Tiffany holiday miniature display windows, they are so well done, and then we leave.

The few times we wandered into stores were more uncomfortable than anything as pretentious store clerks noticed the distinct lack of the green glow of money around us and bustled over to ask incredulously if we needed help.

Back in our car, it's honestly a relief to head north and grab a big dinner in Alpharetta!

I am just coming back from consulate after getting NORI documents attested (2nd Jan 2015). I was there few minutes before 10am so was early in the que (there were only few people around that time). It only took less than half an hour to get the job done. All the staff members were extremely courteous and efficient. If you live around Atlanta (I drove 3 hours!) just visit in person, things seems to be efficient if you go there in person looking at all the negative comments here regarding inefficient telephone service. I hope they will fix this in future. But if you can go there in person rest assured your work will be done. If you are wondering, yes they have enough parking spots. Just try to be there around 10am. Good luck.

There is an unfulfilled vibe here. Cards to get into the "fitness center" don't work. Only one packet of coffee/tea that isn't decaf. Breakfast is insufficient for not being complimentary. There are outside lights that the heavy drapes aren't able to block out. Toilet ran constantly. Could hear my neighbors bathroom activities and everything going on in the hall. Techno music in the dining area in the morning and crappy dance mix garbage playing in the elevator and lobby. This is literally the worst hotel stay I can remembered having.

The old ball and chain loves the selection of high end retailers at this mall. It is fairly clean inside, but the escalators are always broken making it tough to carry all the Lego boxes to my car.
