 To
mark its 175th anniversary and the 25th wedding anniversary of its
innkeepers, the
Century House on the
island of Nantucket is hosting a contest for couples who've gone the
distance.
No, you don't have to have been
together for 175 years to win, but if you've been wed 25 years or
more, you could win a free stay there.
Innkeepers JeanEllen Heron and
Gerry Connick are calling all quarter-century-plus lovebirds to
enter. Just click
here and you could win a three-night stay. Deadline for
entering: Valentine's Day.
Now, if you don't qualify for
this contest, maybe you're interested in getting to the point where
you could. It's leap year this year (on Feb.29), and that
traditionally means gals can propose to their guys.
So, Kimpton's
Hotel Monaco Denver
has a "Dare to Propose" deal. Rates start at $259 a night, which
includes valet parking; gift of Colorado beer to brew up the courage
to ask for his hand. Kimpton's
Hotel Marlowe in
Cambridge, Mass., has a "Sadie, Sadie, Married Lady" package. Pay
$349 a night and get another free, plus roses and champagne and
in-room breakfast . Clever idea, but can you imagine how
embarrassing it would be to take your sweetie to a hotel, pop the
question and get a NO. That would put quite a crimp on the stay,
don't you think?
Has that happened to any
Hotsheeters? Care to 'fess up? And I'm sure you hoteliers have had
to handle some fallout from proposals that went belly up, no?
