Historic Hotels Offering a "Fall Back in Time" Promotion

September 22, 2008 at 1:39 PM | by travelingmcmahans | 0 Comments

We do love that extra hour every fall - though some whine and moan about it getting dark early, it's an extra hour of sleep, and earlier dark means earlier cocktail hour--what's not to like?

We have even more to be pumped about this year. Historic Hotels of America wants us to take advantage of the extra hour with their "Fall Back in Time" promotions from October 1 through November 30. These hotel deals are centered around the year that the historic hotels were founded.

We're particularly fond of the Hotel El Convento's special. Founded in 1888, this Old San Juan delight is offering bottles of wine at any of their restaurants for $18.88. And though, to be honest, we may not normally jump at a chance to visit Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we're awfully tempted to make a trip just to enjoy The Ambassador Hotel's martinis, priced at their original 1928 price of 20 cents. Not a martini drinker? Try a sidecar for 30 cents. Just be sure you don't tip like it's 1928.

With the second night's stay in the Ambassador's Fall Back in Time package a trifling $28, that may leave us enough money to pick up a vintage 20s dress and cigarette holder. May as well really get into this back in time game!

Fifty hotels are participating in the promotion, and these aren't any run-of-the mill hotels either. [These are] quality hotels that have faithfully maintained their historic architecture and ambiance. To be selected for this program, a hotel must be at least 50 years old, listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places or recognized locally as having historic significance.
