The Four Seasons Hotel has a deal for you. But maybe this time, you can beat the dealer.
Through Oct. 17, you and someone special can spend the night at the fancy-pants hotel for $1,111.14. Now that may sound a little steep, but it’s a program called The Sky’s the Limit — and EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED.
Why $1,111.14? The address of the hotel is 1111 14th St.
You check in at 3 p.m. into a nice room that would cost about $400. You immediately start watching in-room movies, the adult features include such chestnuts as “Coed XXX.” Keep playing movies continuously until the noon checkout the next day. You have 21 hours in the hotel, so let’s say at 90 minutes per movie, some adult ($19.95) and some mainstream ($16.99), you can run up 14 flicks costing about $200.
Head to the spa for a minimum of three treatments each before checkout, each at $160, so that’s $960. Go to the EDGE bar/restaurant for some free cocktails before dinner at about $10 each ($40) then dinner where you can order anything you want as often as you want, no doggie bags allowed. So you each have two of the signature buffalo steaks at $44 each — $176, plus apps, sides, sauces and desserts totaling a modest $100. Wine is chosen by the sommelier, and he’ll keep the glasses full, say, at $100.
You have access to 24-hour room service, so before hitting the hay, you can get a couple of burger/shake combos for $34. Keep the movies going, and you also have a free mini-bar which you might as well empty into your suitcase at about $300. They refill it in the morning, so you can do it again for another $300. Your suitcase will be empty because you have sent all your clothes to the hotel laundry service. You can’t bring dirty clothes from home, but you can easily run up $50.
Wake up hungry at 3 a.m. and call down for two turkey clubs for $32 and two shrimp cocktails for $32 and two bowls of ice cream for $28.
First thing in the morning you can head back to EDGE for a big breakfast for two, say four orders of eggs Benedict for $72, maybe an order of waffles for $10, s’mores pancakes for $11, four cappuccinos for $20. Get in one more spa treatment, slow down for a good-bye light lunch of two filet mignons and mac & cheese for $70. You’ve run up a bill of roughly $3,000. This is better than Groupon.
“It’s not about how much you can consume and get away with,” says GM Thierry Kennel. “It’s doing what you want when you want. It’s about the experience.”
