Two packages including accommodations and a fine meal at properties other than hotels offering half-board (breakfast and dinner) or full board (breakfast, lunch, dinner) just came to my attention. The hotels have the commonality of luxury, and the packages have the commonality of food orientation. Otherwise, they are very different.
The Denver Magnolia Hotel is offering a night's lodging for two in a king guest room (right) or suite and steak-and-seafood dinner at Morton’s The Steakhouse. Morton’s dinner includes two single-cut filets; a choice two from Colossal Shrimp Alexander, Jumbo Lump Crab Cake or Broiled Sea Scallops; choice of two from Caesar Salad or Morton’s Salad; choice of one Potato and one fresh vegetable to share; choice of two from Hot Chocolate Cake or Key Lime Pie. The package also includes transportation between the hotel and the restaurant, two cocktails at Harry’s bar in the hotel and the Magnolia’s trademark late-night cookies and milk.
Morton's normally charges roughly $11-$12 for these appetizers, $7 for a salad, $19-$24 per entrée, $5 to $7.50 for each vegetable or potato and $7-$9 for dessert. The package begins at $219 per couple, per night, and includes tax. Gratuity and additional menu items, such as beverages, are extra. If a steakhouse isn't your thing, the Magnolia also offers packages with Palomino, Maggiano’s Little Italy and The Keg. The Magnolia Hotel Denver is downtown at 818 17th Street; 303-607-9000 and 888-915-1110 (reservations).
Meanwhile, across the ocean, Starwood Hotels & Resorts of Italy, Malta and Croatia has launched interactive web campaign, “Taste the Mediterranean,” including accommodations, a three-course lunch or dinner for two in one of Starwood’s restaurants, "regional gastronomic delights" (whatever they may be) in the hotel room and daily buffet breakfast for two.
