Hotels That Have Their Own Theatres Are People Places
Theatre lovers, are you planning your trips right?
Maybe hotels can feed and house you, but can they also entertain you? Can you say later, "Hey, what a special trip that was? The hotel gave us plays, other live performances and movies, and we had a blast there?"
With proper planning, the answer is "yes," you can. While no man is an island, sometimes hotels can be. Those with their own theatre for ALL guests, and not just for private showings, usually treat guests better generally. Let's look at four of them:
Latchis Hotel and Theater:
Built in 1938 in Brattleboro, Vermont (USA) by the Greek family Latchis under the motif "Town Within a Town--All Under One Roof," and part of a partnership between the Preservation Trust of Vermont and the Brattleboro Arts Initiative as of 2003, this hotel has its own theatre facilities. Movies of all kinds run on four screens every week of the year, all against a beautiful backdrop of Art Deco and Greek-Revival decor.
Along with 30 unique art deco guest rooms for the hotel portion, the entire structure is part of a complex of hotel, restaurant, theater, pub, retail storefronts and micro-brewery available, again, "under one roof."
Guests need never leave the building to have a memorable vacation.
Roermond Hotel-Theater Hotel De Oranjerie:
This Netherlands-based facility, besides its luxurious sauna and fitness room complementing the hotel suites, has its own opulent theater boasting a variety of live stage performances.
Within easy access is the 100 store Design Outlet Centre, featuring major brands at discount prices. National Park De Meinweg offers some 4200 acres of impressive forest, heathland, streams and bog pools where wild boars, unlike anywhere else in the Netherlands, are allowed to run free. Where is Davy Crockett when you need him? Though watch for the adders, it is equally great for walking, horseback riding, cycling and excursions. Lake De Roermond Plassen is nearby for fishing, swimming, boating and waterskiing.
Radisson Hotel Boston:
Part of Bay Village in Boston, MA (USA), this hotel not only lies on the outskirts of the Theater District, but its own Stuart Street Playhouse hosts the annual Boston Film Festival. This greatly complements the hotel theatre with other amenities such as indoor swimming pool and two restaurants, the Rustic Kitchen and Theatre Cafe. Comedy clubs as well as restaurants located in the Theatre District, Bay Village and Back Bay are easily accessible.
Kilworth House Theatre:
As part of a 38 acre parkland package in Leicestershire, England, the open-aired, sail-like canopy-protected 540 seat Kilworth House Theatre has housed such live productions as "The Pirates of Penzance," "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Crazy for You." All performances are ably assisted by a state-of-the-art lighting and sound system.
This resort also has its own jogging trails, woodland walkway, fishing lake, mini-gym, health and beauty rooms and quality restaurants.
See the pattern with hotels and theatres for plays or movies? Their sensitive artistic side provides a better CONNECTION with their guests for a total vacation experience impossible to price tag. They're PEOPLE PLACES where the guest comes first.
So make your next hotel not just a place to lay your head, but an entity onto itself and intimate part of your vacation. You'll be so pleased that its overall impact will improve with each retelling
