There’s a lot to like about Newport Beach in Southern California. Like Newport Rhode Island, it’s a pretty swanky town on the water. It has its own fair share of impressive mansions to gawp at, too, albeit with a lot less US history behind them (no Vanderbilts or Astors here). Newport Beach is fun and outdoorsy, but it’s also an upscale, luxury-oriented part of Southern California – perfect for a romantic vacation. And guess what? One of my favorite upscale, luxury-oriented hotel brands, Fairmont, is running a special Valentine’s Day travel deal for Twitter users.
Obviously, not everyone embraces the 140-characters-or-less ethos of the social media tool, but I do. In fact, it’s a Fairmont (the Fairmont Kea Lani, in Wailea Beach, Maui) that serves as my own Twitter wallpaper. But the Fairmont Newport Beach is a LOT closer to where I live, and I LOVE this vacation package. Here’s the rundown: On Twitter, follow @FairmontNewport or @FairmontHotels, and get the “Twitter Only” special code. then call Central Reservations (800) 447-1414 with Rate Code 2U8VAL.
The Newport Beach Valentine’s Day romantic travel package starts at $199/night, which is a great deal for staying at a Fairmont hotel. Package includes:
- Junior Suite with private balcony
- Breakfast for two on balcony or in hotel restaurant
- Complimentary valet and internet access
- Two plush robes, monogrammed with your @Twitter Name!
- Blue “Twitter” heart-shaped cookies
- Choice of Champagne, wine or cider
- Late check-out
This Fairmont Newport Beach hotel vacation package is meant for Valentine’s Day, but is good from Feb 1 – March 31, 2010. That gives us two months in which to find the time to schedule a romantic getaway — pretty nice, huh? I think so.

















travel deals from our local travel agent are great and they are low cost too’*”
