Newly Opening Hotel Montgomery Announces A Package Couples Will Really Get Sweet On
1911 landmark hotel offers lovers an unexpectedly romantic destination in Downtown San Jose
San Jose, CA (May 19, 2004)-JOIE DE VIVRE HOSPITALITY (www.jdvhospitality.com), well-known for its creative collection of lifestyle-oriented hotels and properties in the Bay Area, announced today a saucy suite package, "Love Suites," at the Hotel Montgomery in Downtown San Jose. The "Love Suites" package includes a stay in one of the six luxuriously appointed one-bedroom suites and special treats to inspire nibbling (either off a plate or on earlobes). Now that it has become more common for couples to "get out of the house" and have a romantic getaway in their hometowns, the "Love Suites" Package will give curious South Bay residents the opportunity to experience the elegance of the massively renovated Hotel Montgomery firsthand. The historic building dates back to 1911 and the hotel reopening is July 6, 2004.
The "Love Suites" package includes:
- One night in a one-bedroom corner suite.
- Package amenities include a bottle of chilled bubbly, decadent chocolate truffles and "Love Sweets" from Jaqua, a couples kit containing a buttercream frosting body cream (it smells good enough to eat), body shimmer dust and love dice candles in a pink bakery box.
- A $75 dining voucher for the Paragon Restaurant & Bar.
- Complimentary passes to the brand-new Camera 12 movie theater located across the street.
The "Love Suites" package is $259 and will run from July 6th - September 30th, 2004. The "Love Suites" package can only be booked through Hotel Montgomery Central Reservations: 866.823.0530. This special must be mentioned at time of making a reservation. This special cannot be booked online; is not applicable to groups; and is not combinable with other offers. Does not apply to group or negotiated rates. Some blackout dates apply.
The guestroom experience is a luxuriously authentic one, with leather-like wall coverings, Egyptian-cotton bed linens, Burberry plaid-covered lounge chairs and original artwork by artist Rex Ray in each room, with original decorative pieces by San Francisco-based Ken Wingard.
The Paragon Restaurant & Bar features American Brasserie cuisine by Executive Chef Thomas Connolly, a large selection of hand-shaken cocktails, outdoor patio seating and live jazz four nights a week. The Hotel Montgomery is also in close proximity to the San Jose Tech Museum of Innovation, the San Jose Museum of Art and the Opera San Jose.
