Nevada, Reno
Grand Meetings in America’s Adventure Land: Grand Sierra
Resort and Casino
Since its inception as the first-ever
destination resort in northern Nevada, the resort has anteed up the bar and
has earned a world-class reputation among meeting and conference attendees
as well as discerning travelers seeking an extraordinary romantic getaway.
Although the motto is “Get lucky at GSR,” there is no “get lucky” about it;
once visitors arrive on the 145-acre desert oasis, boasting 33 acres of
lakes, they “are” lucky. The jackpot is staying at the resort, which ranks
15th in the nation as the largest hotel and convention center.

Mexico, Puerto Angel, Oaxaca
Hotel Boutique Casa Bichu-Eco-Spa, Eco-cellent!
How is this for eco-friendly? The new hotel and
spa, which will open in April 2009 in Puerto Angel, Oaxaca, Mexico, is a
labor-intensive creation, built of ninety percent natural materials down to
the furnishings and lighting. The overall affect allows a traveler to step
into an indigenous landscape (not just a concrete building) and feel like he
or she is part of a much bigger world. Open the doors to the terrace
outside. The ocean’s murmurings will surely inspire the deepest sense of
contentment and, likely, a strong mood of romance.
