A Franciscan
Missionary Inspired Hotel
Hotel St. Francis
has completed an exciting renovation and is now the newest
cultural hotel to be offered by Heritage Hotels & Resorts ®.
Join us in the Grand Re-Opening Year-Long Celebration as Hotel
St. Francis embodies the history and culture of the Franciscan
Missionaries through the simplicity of design.
Inspired by the
early presence of the Franciscan missionaries in New Mexico, the
spectacularly renovated Hotel St. Francis is designed in a style
where peace and tranquility are the key design elements. “Here,
utter simplicity is an exacting art” says Jim Long, CEO of
Heritage Hotels & Resorts. The hotel offers a historical
appearance reflecting the simple and spiritual style of the
Franciscan Missionary Order. The purity of this style, bordering
on austere, allows hotel guests to unwind from their busy lives
and enjoy a moment of relaxation and calmness and provides a
moment for reflection and contemplation. There is no hotel in
Santa Fe that can provide guests with a greater authentic,
cultural experience.
Take part in a
year-long celebration package for two that includes a
comfortable classic guestroom, a delicious breakfast for two
prepared by Chef Estevan at Tabla de Los Santos or in the lovely
outdoor patio, two cocktails and a mouth-watering appetizer at
the new Secreto Lounge which has become Santa Fe’s leisure spot,
also, enjoy two Georgia O’Keefe museum passes and a special gift
just for celebrating with us.

Redondo Beach Visitors Bureau
Redondo Beach is
just seven miles south of Los Angeles International Airport
(LAX), and by contrast has the character of an exclusive beach
enclave miles from anything urban. It is just 18 miles from
Downtown Los Angeles by automobile and is accessible to major
freeways linking it to such attractions as Disneyland and
Universal Studios.
The city is
flanked by a county path threading along 27 miles of oceanfront
from Torrance Beach to Santa Monica that is ideal for walking,
skating, and biking.
Redondo Beach is
an historic beach town that typifies the Southern California
lifestyle. It is a complete resort destination, with all types
of accommodations and attractions, and it provides a safe place
for fun and play. Once a commercial port, the City now has a
pleasure pier with unique shops and restaurants, myriad water
sport activities, marinas, and a sport fishing fleet. There's an
attractive sea front esplanade that has been called one of the
most romantic places in the world from which to watch a sunset.
Redondo Beach
offers a host of accommodations, including luxury, mid-price,
and budget. Plenty of ocean view rooms are available and within
walking distance to the beach, pier and harbor/marina areas.

Apache Junction,
Arizona
Although
incorporated in 1978, Apache Junction has a long and colorful
history. The past boasts early ancient Indian cultures and
Spanish conquistadors to western ranchers and prospectors.
In the shadow of
the Superstition Mountains, and just east of Mesa, Apache
Junction is 30 minutes from downtown Phoenix. This rural setting
features both rural and urban amenities, and is easily
accessible from anywhere in the Valley of the Sun via Highway
60. Its current population of 32,000 in the incorporated limits
expands to well over 50,000 when the Gold Canyon area is
included. The population of the area doubles during winter
visitor season.
Apache Junction
is the trailhead to the discovery of eastern Arizona. Highway
88, or the historic Apache Trail, is one of the most scenic,
magnificent drives one can experience. Along the roadway,
visitors will see the wonders of the Superstition Mountains, and
many will speculate on the whereabouts of the Lost Dutchman Gold
Mine.
When visiting the
Apache Junction and Gold Canyon areas you will find everything
for a great leisure experience. There are lakes to fish, ski and
boat, to trails for hiking and horseback riding through Lost
Dutchman State Park and the Peralta Trailheads. Museums, a ghost
town, and golf are here, and there is even some great pampering
amenities with spas and healthful living adventures just a phone
call away.
Apache Junction
hosts the historic Lost Dutchman Days in February. Also in
February, and in March, visitors can enjoy royal revelry at the
popular Renaissance Festival. The Superstition Mountains, Apache
Junction and Gold Canyon are a “must see” on any visit to
Arizona.
