“Saturday Night Love,” Live at Alden-Houston Hotel

Jan. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Houston – Cupid’s arrow is aimed at downtown’s Alden-Houston Hotel this February, with Valentine’s Day options for every stage of love from “just looking” to “just celebrated 50 years.”  The luxury hotel is offering special overnight packages in deluxe guest rooms or suites including champagne with fresh strawberries & cream upon arrival, a special chef-prepared four-course romantic dinner in the hotel’s award-winning restaurant, *17, and a “Saturday Night Love, Live at Alden” party on the stylish indoor/outdoor Veranda. Alden even offers an eye-popping “be mine” package for cupids ready to pop the question.

“Awarded for best décor, with its vertical chandelier, plush red brocade walls and white high-back chairs, *17 is widely recognized as one of Houston’s most romantic restaurants,” said Susan Ward-Freeman, general manager for Alden.  “While couples are celebrating a romantic dinner at *17, we will be hosting a Valentine’s Day party on our second floor Veranda, where a stylish, high energy mix of party-goers will be dancing the night away to DJ Hector spinning re-mix songs that everyone knows and loves.”   Space is limited and parties sell out fast, so Ward-Freeman recommends that reservations are booked early.  Overnight packages are also available. “For anyone planning to pop the question on Valentine’s Day, the ‘be mine’ package includes everything to make the special occasion unforgettable,” said Ward-Freeman.
