Santa Fe, New Mexico

Year-Long Celebration Special at the Historic Hotel St. Francis

Hotel St. Francis has completed an exciting renovation and is now the newest cultural hotel to be offered by Heritage Hotels & Resorts ®. Treat yourself to a Santa Fe, New Mexico getaway and enjoy the Year-Long Celebration Special package being offered through 2010.

Visit Santa Fe anytime of the year and enjoy the year-long special package for two that includes a comfortable classic guestroom, a delicious breakfast for two prepared by Chef Estevan Garcia at Tabla de Los Santos restaurant or in the lovely outdoor patio. For your evening pleasure enjoy two specialty cocktails prepared by our master mixologists and a mouth-watering appetizer at the new Secreto Lounge. Also included in the package are two passes to the Georgia O'Keefe museum plus a very special gift made by Aromaland just for celebrating with us.

Hotel St. Francis is inspired by the early presence of the Franciscan missionaries and their significant contributions to New Mexico. It has been reintroduced in a style where peace and tranquility are the key underlying elements. In a world where our minds are often cluttered with vast amounts of information, technology and complexity, Hotel St. Francis is meant to be a place of contrast.

The hotel showcases a new restaurant, Tabla de Los Santos, which serves delightful dishes made from fresh, organic, local ingredients all under the watchful eye of the Santa Fe favorite, Chef Estevan Garcia. The new upscale Secreto bar has quickly become a popular place for enjoying quality made cocktails by our master mixologists.

One Luxurious Inn - Three Superb Specials

The Highland Haven Creekside Inn is offering three recession-busting specials for anyone yearning for a winter getaway.

The “Over the River and Through the Woods” special is a nod to the inn’s four premium cottages – Creekside One and Two, and Hillside One and Two – which are nestled across Bear Creek among towering green pine trees. Stay one night and get the second night half off, a savings of up to $165. The cottages are cozy “Colorado chic,” featuring pitched ceilings with log beams, voluptuous beds, fluffy robes, fireplaces, wet bars, Jacuzzi tubs, private decks and courtyards, and more.

Also this winter, the Highland Haven is reviving its popular “Suite Deals,” a $40 savings on any of its two-bedroom suites, which feature wet-bar kitchens, sitting rooms, and French doors or walkout balconies. Both specials run Sundays through Thursdays (with holidays excluded) through Feb. 1st, 2010.

Finally, guests who book any luxury suite through March 1, 2010 can opt to include the popular “Winter Wonderland Romance Tray” for $75, a $10 savings. The romance tray is a gorgeous presentation of white roses, white chocolate, white sparkling wine, and two keepsake Highland Haven flutes.

The Highland Haven, celebrating its 30th anniversary, was named one of the Top 10 Most Romantic Inns of the Year by www.iloveinns.com, one of the nation’s Top 10 Most Romantic Cottages by Sunset magazine, and Best Bed and Breakfast by Mountain Living magazine.

Known for its exceptional customer service and delicious homemade breakfasts, the Highland Haven features 17 rooms, suites and cottages, each distinctly appointed in “Colorado chic” décor, designed for maximum comfort and luxury. For reservations and information, visit www.highlandhaven.com.


Silver City, New Mexico

"Festival of the Soul" brings "World Music" to Silver City and southwestern New Mexico

"Festival of the Soul" musicfest is set for Nov. 14-15 at Penny Park, 1305 N. Grant in Silver City. The two-day event which features family oriented, inspirational, uplifting and exciting "World" music, is the first of its kind to be held in Silver City and all of southern New Mexico, organizers say.

"There are blues, bluegrass, folk and jazz music festivals all over the country, but I felt there is a following of World Music lovers not getting the kind of music they wanted," said Ed Conley, festival organizer. Conley had wanted to start such a music festival for several years. "We hope everyone experiencing this music will find this festival an enjoyable family experience. No alcohol or smoking are allowed in the park. Also, please bring your own chair."

Half of the musicfest proceeds will be donated to Penny Park, a community built park. In April of this year an arson-caused fire damaged a large portion of the park. Festival of the Soul donations will help with the rebuilding of the park. Ticket prices for Festival of the Soul are: $10 per day or $15 for both days.
