In one of the oldest and most romantic cities in the nation, where sensual chocolate and spicy chiles are frequently paired in both culinary dishes and indigenous spa treatments, La Posada de Santa Fe, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, has developed Valentine's Day packages hot enough to melt the snow off the roof.
Romantic Escape:
Baby, it may be cold outside, but things will heat up quickly when your weekend package includes casita accommodations with a roaring authentic kiva fireplace. The “Alluring Escape” package begins with champagne and strawberries upon arrival and keeps the heat going with two 50-minute Swedish massages and a leisurely breakfast for two. Packages start at just $343 per night and upgrades, including romantic seasonal couple’s massages and specialty spa treatments, are available at minimal additional cost.
Sweetheart's Spa Special:
Nothing sets the stage for romance quite like a massage a deux, and for the entire month of February, the Spa at La Posada is offering a champagne and rose oil couples massage for $245 (50 minutes) or $325 (80 minutes). Ancient tradition attributes protective powers to rose quartz, so each massage finishes with the placement of a rose quartz heart over each guest's heart to safeguard and empower their love for another year and guests keep the rose quartz as a gift.
Sweet and Spicy Makes Her Feel Feisty:
Sublimely single or passionately paired, you don't have to wait for anyone to bring chocolates to make your toes tingle. La Posada is offering its signature, 80-minute chocolate chile pedicure and a delectable chocolate gift from Chocolatesmith for $75. Full body, Chocolate Chile wraps leave the skin as smooth as molten chocolate for $139 (50 minutes). In both treatments, Chimayo Red Chile heats up the body and gets the circulation going first and chocolate makes the skin silky smooth and leaves a delicious aroma ensured to get your loved one hot.
Heartfelt Dining:
La Posada knows the way to everyone's heart. A three-course dinner for two in Fuego will ignite your passions when La Posada's strolling musician plays your song tableside. Prix fixe dinner includes a choice of:
Appetizer: | Lobster bisque with brandy cream hearts. | ||||
| Salad of romaine hearts with champagne vinaigrette. | |||||
Entrée: | Char-grilled sea bass filet with hearts of palm corn cake and key lime beurre blanc. | ||||
| Pepper crusted filet mignon with port wine reduction, artichoke hearts and fingerling potatoes. | |||||
Dessert: | A luscious, molten chocolate cake and two colossal, tuxedo-striped strawberries. |
A red rose and tableside serenade complete the offering for $125 per couple.
Live Music to Pluck at Your Heartstrings:
The Staab House Lounge presents Santa Fe's reigning diva of Latin world music, Nacha Mendez, on Friday night, the Pat Malone jazz trio on Saturday night and Wiley Jim, cowboy guitar player, on Sunday, all of whom will take guest requests for serenades.
La Posada's Valentine's Day special dinners will be available Friday, February 13, through Sunday, February 15 and the regular menu will be offered as well.
