Dee Patel, managing director of Nashville’s Hermitage Hotel, shares what she’s been loving lately. 

Packing: An Apple AirTag in each suitcase to track their every move, and an overnight hydrating mask to nourish my skin while traveling.
Reading: I was born a Brit, so I had to pick up Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare.
Planning: My family is headed to Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, for spring break – we can’t wait to visit Pike Place Market and the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre.
Listening: I love Jay Shetty’s podcast, On Purpose.
