This fall, Hotel Valencia Riverwalk in San Antonio is offering the perfect antidote for pandemic cabin fever. Now through late December, the hotel is providing guests with an amazing experience that will immerse you in an evening of the cultural magic of Argentina – in a completely socially distanced setting. The “Tango in the Courtyard” room package transports guests to the famed Plaza Dorrego in Buenos Aires, while watching a mesmerizing Latin dance performance, enjoying Argentinean wine and cheese and simply relaxing.
Each Friday and Saturday night, professional tango dancers perform in the center of the hotel’s large third-floor Courtyard. The Courtyard is ringed with deluxe rooms on the third and fourth floor. Guests enjoy the show from their private third floor patio or private fourth floor balcony. This one-of-a-kind package offers guests an exclusive two-hour performance of the sensual and graceful rhythms of Tango and other Latin dance genres such as Mambo-Style Salsa, Cha-Cha-Cha and Flamenco – all while enjoying a bottle of fine Argentinean Malbec wine and a Vigilante platter, a traditional Argentinean cheese dessert. In addition, the package provides complimentary valet parking, complimentary wi-fi and a beautiful long-stemmed red rose.
“All of us at Hotel Valencia Riverwalk are thrilled to be able to offer our guests this unique and very safe entertainment experience,” said Trent Freeman, General Manager of Hotel Valencia Riverwalk. “We understand that many people are seeking a change of scenery after months of staying home, and this room package offers the perfect mini-getaway for those who are ready. In addition, I want to emphasize that properly sanitizing our guestrooms has always been a core value of ours and we continue to work with P&G – our cleaning partner – to ensure we are adhering to all prescribed best practices of cleaning and sanitation.”
The dancers are Luisa Vasquez, a native of Colombia, and Julio Torres, who is from Puerto Rico. Their cultural backgrounds instilled a passion in both for the wide variety of expressive Latin dance genres. Vasquez has been featured on the popular television show, “America’s Got Talent.”
Tango is a partner and social dance that originated in the 1880s along the Rio de la Plata, the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay. Its roots lie in African, Native South American and European cultures. It is one of the world’s most famous partner dances and is renowned for its vibrant and playful style of movement, rich expressions and the passion displayed by the performers.
San Antonio is an easy three-and-a-half hour drive from The Woodlands. However, an overnight or weekend stay at Hotel Valencia Riverwalk will make you feel as if you’ve been transported to Argentina for a mini-vacation.
