How's this for romance? The Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi is luring couples with a "Sense of Romance" package that would spark even the dullest flame of desire between a pair of nuns. Yes, dinner by candlelight. Yes, a bed of roses. Yes, those Sangre de Cristo mountains in the background.

And, for fun, an hour appointment with the hotel's Romance Expert, a designated concierge who presides over the Front Desk spouting fathomless knowledge about the ins and outs of true amor. Or, in more accessible terms: where to dine, what spa treatment to book, and where to go stargazing. ]]> ASchechter 2012-01-25T09:29:52-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/1/10/144335/047 <![CDATA[<p><object id="flashObj" width="500" height="470" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0"><param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="flashVars" value="@videoPlayer=1381451933001&playerID=1290861266001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAAE7CVnI~,RUihgoZlRJhslCchlYkq3M4yw7rN0t1V&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" /><param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com" /><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="@videoPlayer=1381451933001&playerID=1290861266001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAAE7CVnI~,RUihgoZlRJhslCchlYkq3M4yw7rN0t1V&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="500" height="470" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object></p> <p><i>The kiva fireplace.

We've seen plenty of weird and wonderful hotel soaps in our time, but nothing quite as cool as this: the rock soap that greeted us as we checked into La Posada De Santa Fe Resort last night.

There was a normal, pebble-shaped soap in the soap dish - so far, so normal - but then on the shelf by the basin we spied this lump of rock. Was it a pumice stone to grate your feet? An ornament? A random piece of rock? No, it was indeed a bar of soap shaped like a rock. ]]> juliab 2011-12-27T15:26:33-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/3/4/1427/90851 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/21888/santafeeldorado.jpg" class="top"> <p>Yay, another hotel anniversary that gives us gimmicky discounts!

We gave you the lowdown on some hot—as in red-chile hot—drinks at Secreto Bar in the Hotel St. Francis in Santa Fe. But of course, we had to check out the rest of the hotel, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.

How did the hotel stack up? Find out after the jump.]]> Jennifer Kester 2010-10-18T11:59:17-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
