Looking for a WOW way to celebrate Valentines Day? You can make this February the most memorable month of your life. The Plaza Athenee Paris is offering a Suite Indulgence promotion, currently available for bookings as late as February 24, 2018. When you reserve a Superior Suite for 2+ nights, you'll receive a double upgrade-at-booking to a Prestige Suite (see the picture immediately below).

Prestige Suite at the Plaza Athenee Paris

With views over Avenue Montaigne, your Prestige Suite will provide you with a large living room, two marble bathrooms, and a master bedroom. With 80 square meters of living space, you'll have more than enough room to entertain in style ... or to relax in perfect comfort.

By booking through a Diamond Club agency such as Ourisman Travel, you'll get even more if you reserve this Suite offer.

Full American Breakfast daily for two guests — order off the menu, anything except alcohol or caviar — and it's all included, including tax and gratuities. You can eat in any of the hotel's dining venues, including in-room dining. 

Guaranteed double upgrade from Superior Suite (2100€) into a Prestige Suite (normally 4300€) — so, more than a 50% discount. 

Daily 100€ hotel credit that can even come off your room bill. 

Complimentary Premium WiFi for unlimited devices.

If you're planning to pop the question ... or just want to enjoy a most romantic weekend, in a most iconic hotel, in the most beautiful city in the world ... the first step is simply to get in touch!

Four Seasons Chicago | exclusive double-upgrade

The view from this Lake View Executive Suite overlooks the alluring blues and greens of ... Lake Michigan. I can't take credit for the photo; it was emailed to me today by the sales manager of Four Seasons Chicago.

I posted this yesterday as a "puzzle" to my readers, and one of you immediately emailed back with the correct answer. His prize, a guaranteed double-upgrade at time of booking from a Lake View Room to a Lake View Executive Suite, based on availability — and the hotel will also send the Ice Cream Man or Martini Man to his room once during his stay (complimentary based on two people). The prize expires one year from today — June 28, 2014.

But everyone can win at Four Seasons, every stay. Just book Four Seasons Chicago through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner, and you'll receive:

• Daily full American breakfast for two people per bedroom, served through In-Room Dining or in the hotel restaurant (including buffets)
• Food and beverage credit of USD100
• Upgrade of one category, based on availability at time of check-in (excluding signature suites and villas)
• Complimentary high-speed Internet access for all guest room and suite bookings

Enjoy similar amenities at every Four Seasons in the world, every day of the year!

St. Regis Bora Bora is now Virtuoso

The premier 5 star luxury resort on Bora Bora, the St. Regis is now a member of Virtuoso. Copyright (c) 2007 by David J. Ourisman. All rights reserved. This article is published at http://TravelHorizons.blogspot.com. I am a Virtuoso travel consultant, specializing in luxury travel. Please visit my travel website at http://MetaphorTravel.com.

The St. Regis Bora Bora is a stunning new luxury hotel on the east side of the atoll of Bora Bora. The most basic "room" is a large and gorgeous 1,500 square foot villa with flooring of exotic woods, large flat panel televisions in both the bedroom and separate living room, and spacious and elegant bathrooms. If your priority is spare-no-expense luxurious accommodations, the St. Regis will be your choice.

But nobody goes to Bora Bora to watch a flatscreen t.v.! The attraction is the lagoon itself. You will be mesmerized by the amazing aquamarine color of the water the instant you leave the airport for the short boat trip back to your hotel. 80 degrees warm and teeming with colorful tropical fish, you can slip right into the water from your overwater bungalow and snorkel to your heart's content. (No dragging snorkels, flippers, masks, towels, and beach bags to the water). Bora Bora is the perfect destination to spend a honeymoon, unwind for a week or more, get back in touch with nature, or simply pamper yourself in a luxurious five star resort and spa.

And now that the St. Regis Bora Bora is a Virtuoso property, you can enjoy exclusive Virtuoso amenities at the Best Available Rate available for the dates of your visit. Upgrades, complimentary breakfasts, airport transfers, flower turndowns, late checkouts, even a bottle of champagne to celebrate your arrival in Paradise! Just book through a Virtuoso agent.
