Take a Romantic Staycation

Looking to get out of the house for a romantic getaway? Why not stay with us in the heart of Downtown Madison? We have a Romantic Getaway package which includes overnight accommodations and Strawberries with chocolate dipping sauce and a bottle of Prosecco - delivered to your room.

 

Book your stay in the Governor’s Club, our executive level, for an intimate night in with access to our 12th floor Governor’s Club Lounge and Library. Governor’s Club guests get complimentary hors d’ oeuvres, desserts, and cocktails including a couple special Valentine’s Day drinks for the occasion.

 

Drink Specials

Our house mixologists have whipped up some special cocktails fit for Cupid. In fact, one of these romantically-inspired concoctions is appropriately named Cupid’s Crush.


The very PINK Cupid’s Crush is a sweet mixture of 360 Vanilla Vodka, RumHaven, Lemon, Simple Syrup, and Montefresco.

 

Chocolate Old Fashioned, this decadent spin on a classic is made up of Bulleit Bourbon, Creme de Cacao, Chocolate Bitters, and Luxardo cherry.

Both of these specials will be available in the Governor’s Club and The Bar.

 

We will also have a Strawberry Bellini special in CIRC Saturday and Sunday for our weekend brunch.
