Making Plans for February?

Whew! I survived the holidays and my post-holiday vacation, and now I'm back blogging about the Boulderado. February is quickly approaching, which means more and more people are investigating what to do for the month's biggest holiday -- Groundhog's Day.

Just kidding.

Of course, I'm talking about Valentine's Day, and here at the Boulderado, we've got you covered. Check out what we're offering that week/end.

• If you're looking to impress your sweetie with bright lights and big stars, consider booking our Boulder International Film Festival Package. You'll stay at the Boulderado the night of February 11th and receive two tickets for BIFF's Opening Night Gala, honoring special guest Alec Baldwin. Valet parking is also included.
• If Baldwins aren't your thing, take advantage of the Valentine's Day Package (includes the room, champagne, roses, and valet parking) or the Romantic Dinner Package (includes the room, chilled champagne and chocolates upon arrival, $100 towards dinner in Q's Restaurant, and valet parking) to get some extra value for your stay.
• If you're single, you can still celebrate your love for your favorite person in the world -- you! Try the Celebrating Singles Package (includes the room, a bottle of wine, a house plant, and valet parking) or the Downtown Excursion Package (includes the room, a $25 gift card to Downtown Boulder, and $20 for breakfast in Q's Restaurant) is great if you're looking for retail therapy, and you can check out the films over at the film festival when your feet need a rest.
• If you're single, part of a couple, or somewhere in-between, you can come to our Anti-Valentine's Day Party on Saturday the 13th. Funkiphino will be rocking the house 8pm-11pm, Francoise the fortune teller will be on hand to reveal your future, and you can take a break and watch some non-romantic comedies in our movie room. $10 cover charge gets you in the door plus a raffle ticket, plus you can make a night of it and spend the night with us for a bargain -- just reference the "Just In Case" rate when you book your room!
  

Michael Jackson Dance Party on Saturday

Our office is buzzing with preparations for our Michael Jackson Dance Party, which is taking place this Saturday night in the Ballroom from 7pm-11pm. Saturday would have been MJ's 50th birthday, so to commemorate him and the wonderful charitable spirit he embodied, the Hotel Boulderado is joining forces with the Make-a-Wish Foundation for this special event. Each ticket is $19, and $15 of that goes directly to the foundation. In addition, local businesses like Marianna's Spa, Old Chicago, and Q's Restaurant have been generous enough to donate some merchandise and gift certificates for a raffle that will also benefit Make-a-Wish. Specialty cocktails, like the staff's favorite, Beat It (orange-flavored vodka, condensed milk, passion fruit juice, and triple sec) or the Rhinestone Glove (red wine, amaretto, and ginger ale) will be available at the cash bar. Fun hors d'oeuvres like "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" Hummus and Olives, or "The Way You Make Me Feel" About Fruit and Cheese will keep the energy high for dancing all night. DJ Chris will be spinning Jackson hits all night long, and special break-dancing performances from Streetside Studios, Break EFX, and Casablanca Dance Studio will inspire you to bring out those old-school, b-bop moves. Speaking of dancing, there's a dance contest as well as a costume contest, and prizes will be awarded for the winners. Reservations are still available, but not many! Book yours today either by calling us at (303) 440-2880 or book online.
