Dad’s day
The Four Seasons Hotel Denver wants to treat the man of the house like the king of the castle on Father’s Day, June 17.
Why not take dear old dad (and I use the term affectionately since I lost my “dear old dad”) to brunch at EDGE Restaurant followed by making an appointment for a test drive at of the elite Fisker Karma, an electric-powered luxury car?
EDGE is serving a three-course brunch for $48 per person, which includes a choice of appetizer, entree and dessert buffet. The boffo buffet includes items such as prosciutto-wrapped melon, seasonal fruit, roasted tomato soup and Dad’s Custom EDGE Benny Bar with several eggs benedict choices.
Post brunch, dad can take a sneak peek of the Karma car on the front drive of the hotel, pose for photos and sign up for a test drive. Because of Colorado’s ridiculous Blue Laws, test drives are a law breaker on Sundays. A Rickenbaugh Fisker rep will be on hand to sign dad up for a Monday through Saturday appointment.
If dinner is more your dad’s delight, EDGE is serving a three-course Hops & Pops dinner, which includes a choice of starter, entrée and side dish and dessert. The dinner is $50 per person with the option of an additional local craft microbrew pairing for $10.
If the dad in your life would prefer a spa treatment over tasty treats, The Four Seasons has gift certificates for “he-time moments” such as a stress-relieving sports massage or a men’s Moroccan facial.
For brunch and dinner reservations call 303-389-3343; for a spa appointment or to purchase a gift certificate, call 303-389-3020.
