This Leap Year, Ladies Can Utilize the Proposal Butler

Where: Stratton Street , London, United Kingdom, W1J 8LT

To celebrate the tradition of women being "allowed" to propose on February 29th (as it is not recognized by the British legal calendar), London's May Fair Hotel is offering a "Leap Year Proposal Package" encouraging young ladies to take the romantic reins this year.

This is very similar to the proposal package that Kimpton Hotels is offering stateside, only a tad bit pricier and well, that one doesn't come with the services of a Proposal Butler. Yes, we said Proposal Butler.

Hotel Monaco Denver Invites Women to Get Drunk, Propose

Where: 1717 Champa Street at 17th [map], Denver, CO, United States, 80202

Apparently it's a tradition for women to make marriage proposals in leap years--so commitment-adverse partners take note of February 29 in 2008, especially if your loved one suggests getting away that weekend to Denver's Hotel Monaco.

The Kimpton-owned property is offering a "Dare to Propose" package, which for $259, includes valet parking, gourmet aphrodisiacs, special Leap Day cocktails and micro-brewed beer.

It was not disclosed whether the abundance of alcohol here is meant to give women the courage to pop the question or to get one's companion drunk enough to say (or slur) yes.

If you are one of the estimated 200,000 American leap year babies in the country today and 4.1 million around the world, Kimpton Hotels invites you to celebrate your birthday -- for the first time in four years -- with them.

For example, the two Kimpton's in NYC, Muse Hotel and 70 Park Avenue, are offering birthday cake and champagne delivered to your room, with a nightly rate of $229.

For one free night stay, head to one of the seven (!) Kimpton Hotels in Washington D.C. There, if you book two nights (Feb. 28 and March. 1) the 29th is free.

Save 29% off any best available rate for travel during leap year week, February 23rd through March 3rd, at any of the seven San Francisco Kimpton properties, including Hotel Monaco and Sir Francis Drake (with a three-night minimum stay).

And leapies can check into the Hotel Monaco or Hotel Vintage Park in Portland for only $29/night room rate on the night of February 29th. And if you don't have a leap year birthday, at least you have a couple of weeks left to cozy up to someone who does...
