ORLANDO (Feb. 1, 2009) – With the stress of jobs, kids, bills and traffic, these days, it’s hard to keep romance alive. The award-winning Rosen Plaza hotel in Orlando hopes to help couples keep the home fires burning by offering a year-round romance package.
Every day can be Valentine’s Day with Rosen Plaza’s Romance package available Jan. 1, 2009 through Dec. 31, 2009 (excluding Feb. 14) starting at $169 per night, double occupancy, plus tax and gratuity. A special Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14 “Passionate Pairings” package is available for $229, double occupancy, plus tax and gratuity. For those looking for a romantic dining only experience, the four-course Jack’s Place dinner is available for $49.95 per person, plus tax and gratuity.
The romantic evening begins with your choice of steak, chicken or seafood dinner at the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, Jack’s Place. One of Florida Trend’s top recommended restaurants in Orlando and voted Orlando magazine’s Best Restaurant on International Drive, Jack’s Place is named for owner Harris Rosen’s father who during his 30-year tenure at the Waldorf Astoria sketched over 100,000 warm and humorous caricatures of visiting celebrities and VIPs, including Jackie Kennedy, Hank Aaron, Indira Ghandi and Henry Kissinger, to name a few. In Sardi’s-like style, the restaurant is adorned with selections from this impressive autographed collection, creating a sophisticated ambiance.
After the four-course meal for two, including soup, salad, main course and dessert, couples can dance their hearts away at the hotel’s onsite nightclub Backstage, International Drive’s original nightclub, all the while enjoying live music from the 80s, 90s and today. Or for a more intimate setting, enjoy an after dinner drink in the cozy Lobby Bar lounge.
The romance really heats up as guests retire to a deluxe room, outfitted with crisp, white bed linens, luxurious down pillows and regal gold-toned duvets, in a soothing guestroom.
The following morning, a sumptuous, all-you-care-to-eat breakfast buffet awaits at Café Matisse, one of four onsite restaurants.
For an extra fee, the day can be spent enjoying any number of relationship- enriching activities including golf or spa treatments at the nearby award-winning Rosen Shingle Creek or spa at award-winning Rosen Centre. The package includes complimentary transportation to Shingle Creek Golf Club, The Spa at Shingle Creek and Body and Sol Spa at Rosen Centre, as well as scheduled complimentary transportation to and from Universal Orlando® Resort, Sea World Orlando® and Wet n’ Wild Orlando.
Additional room nights are available upon request. The rate is based on double occupancy, subject to hotel availability; tax and gratuity are extra.
