Cavallo Point - The Lodge at the Golden Gate Announces Midweek Escape and Bayside Romance Packages

Travelers Invited to Experience One of America's Must-See Green Landmarks

Cavallo Point - the Lodge at the Golden Gate, San Francisco Bay's first national park lodge, offers travelers and locals alike two packages to experience the Bay Area's newest upscale, environmentally sustainable property which was just named one of America's 10 green landmarks by Travel + Leisure. Cavallo Point Lodge establishes an elegant "base camp" where the city's urban edge meets coastal wildlands.

The Midweek Escape invites guests to a night out by the Bay. The package includes one night in a Golden Gate Jr. Suite with Golden Gate Bridge view, plus breakfast at Murray Circle and overnight parking. The Midweek Escape is $520 per night, available Sunday to Thursday. Additional nights may be added.

The Bayside Romance Package gives couples two nights' accommodation in a Bayside King Deluxe room featuring city and bay views, a chilled bottle of champagne and decadent chocolates on arrival, daily breakfast for two at Murray Circle and overnight parking. The two-night package is $860. Additional nights may be added for $430 per night.

These two packages are valid now through May 31, 2009, excluding Nov. 27 and Dec. 24-31, and are based on double occupancy. Taxes and gratuities are not included. Packages are commissionable to travel agents.

For special small-group occasions, guests may reserve an entire historic residence. These former military officers' quarters, built at the turn of the last century and restored to their full glory, offer four to 12 bedrooms with spacious living quarters in a variety of configurations. Each residence also features its own front porch with rocking chairs. House rates vary by residence and range from $1,175 to 3,785 per night.

Lodge guests are welcome to enjoy a variety of activities, such as hiking and biking along spectacularly scenic coastline trails; yoga classes in a century-old chapel; savoring Michelin-starred cuisine at Murray Circle, the lodge's signature restaurant; reveling at Farley Bar with one of largest wine cellars in California; relaxing with a restorative wellness treatment at the Healing Arts Center & Spa; and at day's end, residing in one of the property's 68 carefully restored historic rooms and suites or one of 74 artfully designed contemporary rooms and suites.

Guests also have the option to discover deeper enrichment via signature, pre-booked adventures and programs that pair property amenities with focused agendas in adventure & well-being, creative arts, and the culinary arts.
