Some holiday light for the spirit and celebration of the season
There are few things in life that are truly pure and incorruptible, but light is one of them. Light shines on all of us equally without judgment or discrimination. Little wonder that light and spirit are synonymous, or that religious observances and the holiday season are drenched in light. Here at The Rose Hotel we serve people of all nationalities, cultures and faiths, but our holiday season observance hits its peak during the Christmas season, when our hotel lobby is ablaze in the light of our Christmas tree, as well as other decorations of the season.

Thanksgiving at The Rose Hotel, and food options galore
It’s a well-known fact that turkey contains L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid with a documented sleep inducing effect. That is why our utmost desire after stuffing ourselves with stuffed turkey on Thanksgiving Day is to nap. That is why the three most important considerations on the Thanksgiving holiday are to 1) be surrounded by family and friends, 2) have a fabulously large, traditional and delicious meal, 3) have a luxurious place to lay our head and nap after all the food and merriment. It is the third of those considerations that The Rose Hotel will specialize in this Thanksgiving Day. Oh, and if you’re looking for a professional chef and restaurant staff to fete you and clean up the mess during your stay at The Rose Hotel, there is no shortage of options.

A financial breather for America’s wounded warriors
One of the most remarkable things about the modern U.S. military is that soldiers that suffer devastating injuries in battle die at a far lower rate than in previous eras. The military’s ability to successfully treat traumatic injuries is really that good. The downside is that far too many soldiers return to our shores with horrible physical and psychological injuries that can haunt them for a lifetime. That is where the Wounded Warrior Project comes into play. It’s an organization that is committed, in its own words, “to fostering the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history.” The Rose Hotel, and several other local organizations, are joining forces to help the Wounded Warriors Project achieve that goal locally. Here is how…
