Package: Loews "Recessionista Respite"

Loews Hotel: Recessionistas’ Respite. Through Summer ’09

Even in a recession, glamorous girls still want to have fun, so Loews Hotels has created a collection of budget-friendly, uniquely local girlfriend getaways. In Denver, for example, the package includes luxurious Villa Suite accommodations for one night with access to the hotel’s VIP lounge; two $25 American Express Gift Checks to use at the nearby Cherry Creek Shopping Center; an exclusive bag concierge for guests to check shopping bags and have them delivered to their room while continuing to shop, and a “Passport to Shopping” with complimentary valet parking for the Cherry Creek Shopping Center. Post-shopping, guests can relax and enjoy complimentary cocktails for two at the hotel’s T-bar and an in-room movie to end the day.

In New York City, guests receive a 15% off “shopping day pass” at Bloomingdale’s complete with a personal shopper, a gift with purchase, and a complimentary beauty make-over. In addition, ladies will receive 20% off all services at the hotel’s Nico Salon, cocktails for two in the hotel’s Library Lounge (2 drinks per person), and complimentary parking or credit for transportation from the airport.
