Wrap Your Valentine in a Warm Embrace at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch

Looking for a Valentine's experience to share with that special someone? Here is a guest post from the folks at the Ritz-Carlton in Bachelor Gulch (Beaver Creek, Colorado). I have not had the pleasure to personally review the experiences listed below, but I can certainly vouch for the Ritz-Carlton Spa in Denver (and I have).

Whether Cupid is striking for the first time or you are in need of igniting an old-fashioned romance -- The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch is the address to make a declaration to your loved one this Valentine’s Day.

From 7’s perfect ‘last minute’ yet romantic house-made après offerings slope-side, including gourmet gift baskets with selections by Dylan’s Candy Bar, themed treats and splits of bubbly from $65 -- to indulgent overnight spa packages or a sumptuous gourmet dinner -- there is no unrivaled setting to set the tone from February 10th through the 14th.

Colorado’s only outpost of Master Chef Wolfgang Puck’s Spago will feature a prix-fixe five-course menu at $95 per person – highlights include savory delicacies such as Spicy Ahi Tartare, Black Truffle Agnolotti, Surf & Turf with Kobe NY Strip and New Zealand Langoustine Tail, a decadent ‘passion’ torte and more. The award-winning venue will also offer its popular seasonal menu.

The Forbes Four Star Bachelor Gulch Spa has enhanced its popular Romance Package by adding a dreamy Rose Petal Drop and Chocolate Covered Strawberries to the 90-minute Close-to-You Massage/Signature Copper Tub Soak and Sparkling Wine or Mimosas for two – at the year-round price of $560. In addition, the Spa has also created the below inspired items to the Valentine’s Day menu:

• Couples Massages - All Couples Massages received during these dates will receive a special amenity valued at $40.(Prices vary based on duration of massage).
• Mini Romance Package – The 110 minute packages includes a 25-Min Couples Massage for Two and Couples Copper Soak - $225

For those who wish to ‘take home’ the essence of The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch to their object of affection, the Spa Boutique has thoughtfully assembled the Valentine's Day Romance Bath Basket for $75. The amorous collection includes Tara "Loving" Massage Oil, "Loving" Bath Oil, two Loofas, a Candle, and Organic Pomegranate & Fig Rose Petal Bath Bubbles. For guests enjoying a rendezvous in-house, the creative expression may be even more special by adding Chocolate Covered Strawberries, a Half-Bottle of Sparkling Wine & a Personal Bath Butler Service for an additional $50.

Finally – nothing says ‘I love you’ like baubles! The Signature Shop will offer 15 percent savings off an array of eye-catching accessories at the Mauri Pioppi Fine Jewelry Trunk Show, February 11 through 13, from 10 am to 7 pm.
