Rub The One You're With

Remember the old adage: “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.”

Well, the artsy and sophisticated Hotel Palomar has put a romantic slant on that philosophy and created a special DIY escape for you and your main squeeze for Valentine’s Day. You not only get a hotel stay package but also a private massage class for two. Their hands-on romance escape lathers up as of February 1 and runs through March 31, 2009. The “Rub the One You’re With” getaway package at Hotel Palomar in Westwood (Los Angeles) includes:

• Deluxe overnight accommodations
• Private one-hour massage instruction class with a personal massage therapist
• Take-home massage kit featuring Kerstin Florian organic lavender massage oil, lavender & lemon aromatherapy candle and aromatherapy bath salts
• Welcome bottle of champagne
• Complimentary overnight parking

While at the Palomar, don’t forget to indulge in a delicious, healthy meal made with herbs from the chef’s personal rooftop garden, and a well crafted cocktail or two at its restaurant, BLVD, which I reviewed on The Liquid Muse Blog in December.
