Ready to have some fun and kick off summer 2016 in style? Then we have a party for you! Can I get a woo-hoo! On June 2, 2016, Hotel Valencia is hosting a fabulous Summer Kickoff Party complete with small bites, and Poptails! I have never had a Poptail before, I cannot wait to try one! Read for all the juicy details, and I hope to see you at the event!
“To welcome the summer season, Hotel Valencia Santana Row is throwing a luxurious Summer Kickoff Party. On Thursday, June 2nd from 5:30-7:30pm, party goers can enjoy small bites and poptails: alcohol-infused fruit popsicles topped with prosecco, at The Terrace, an intimate courtyard café surrounded by blooming bougainvillea and the murmur of a water fountain.
All summer long, poptails will be served for those wanting to partake in the sunshine and enjoy lounging by the pool. Guests will enjoy the breathtaking architecture and delight in views of European-inspired Santana Row below.
Nestled in the heart of Silicon Valley, Hotel Valencia provides the perfect sanctuary for travelers in the midst of the technology-driven hub. Stepping into the entrance, guests are transported to a place reminiscent of the Spanish Golden Age where walls feature embossed plaster treatments with hand-carved details, wrought iron chandeliers hang from a raked plaster ceiling and contemporary Iberian-inspired furniture is showcased.
The luxurious Hotel Valencia also transformed several areas of the modern boutique inn by adding Mediterranean accents. Long oak credenzas with custom stenciling and nail head decorated chairs and night stands complete the design. Hotel Valencia’s recent renovations transformed several areas of the property to accentuate its Old-World Spanish appeal.” _Hotel Valencia, Santana Row.
I look forward to seeing you at the event on June 2! It will be a lot of fun!

Brooks Brothers is the ultimate go-to destination for the Dad who has traditional, preppy, and/or conservative style. If Dad wears suits to work, why not get him a fabulous tie!
