Can you believe we are already into December? The days are secretly creeping by. Last Tuesday was the first day of the month and also the kick off event for Hotel 1000's "Twelve Days of Comfort, Joy, & Cheer." Hotel 1000 started the month off early with a gathering that offered VIP Guests specialty cocktails, festive appetizers from BOKA KITCHEN + BAR, as well as an opportunity to pre-bid on fabulous auction items such as: A Premiere Napa Valley travel experience, Destination packages to luxury hotels, Private dinner experiences with local chefs, Fine Art, and a trip to see Oprah. They also enjoyed a fashion show that was emceed by Lily Jang, co-anchor for Q13 FOX News This Morning, and Shawn Stewart, midday host and music director for 103.7 The Mountain. Not only did people get to mingle, listen to the great dj, sip on cocktails & bid on luxury items, but they were giving back at the same time. The luxury boutique hotel had selected Art with Heart as the recipient of the proceeds. Isn't that what the Holidays are for, giving back?

If you were not able to make the kick off event, don't worry, there are eleven more events left. Come check them out here.

Also, throughout the month of December, Hotel 1000 will be offering guests a 12 Days Shopping Passport, inviting them to shop at a variety of boutiques and specialty retailers in the hotel’s West Edge neighborhood, while giving back to the community. Each boutique will donate 12 percent of all purchases generated from the Passport Program to Art With Heart.

The passport includes a range of retailers inviting guests to find one-of-a-kind holiday party attire, along with specialty gifts from local retailers. This year’s participating retailers include: BoConcept Seattle, Buckets at Harbor Steps, Encanto Barcelona, Far 4, The Finerie, Hästens, Hotel 1000 Lobby Shop, Jack Straw, The Legacy Ltd., Le Marcel Specialty Bakery for Dogs, Liave, Light Matters, RE Welch Galleries, Sandylew, Scandia Jewlers, Spaahh at Hotel 1000, Totokaelo and Watson Kennedy. All retailers in the program are located within walking distance of the hotel.

If an item is purchased at any of the 12 Days retailers, the Passport carrier will receive a stamp. Once three or more stamps are collected, the Passport is eligible to enter a drawing for a one night stay in Hotel 1000’s Grand Suite (valued at $5000). A winner will be chosen at random on New Year’s Eve.

GOOD-BYE

Are you traveling for Thanksgiving? We are. And the question is always asked,what should I pack for only a couple of days away? We like to pack simple, neutral, re-wearable, 'dress up or dress down' pieces. Here are some look-a-like pieces that will be going into our carry-on (by the way- try to skip checking luggage, say it gets lost, your only there for a couple of days).

Happy Thanksgiving from the BR team!
