ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – June 24, 2008 – Aviation pioneers Charles and Anne Morrow Lindberg spent much of their lives flying around the world, when the glory and romance of flight captivated everyone. For today’s adventuresome couples, The Inverness Hotel launched Fly & Soar, a distinctive travel experience that combines the excitement of hot air balloon flight with the grounded relaxation of upscale accommodations, couples’ spa treatment and luscious gourmet treats for an unforgettable couple’s retreat. Fly & Soar is available now through October 31, 2008.

 

In those early days of flight, aviators felt the exhilaration of wind blowing through their hair and literally touching the open sky around them. This stunning feat also provided the grandeur of a bird’s eye view and the experience of true solitude, available only to a lucky few. Similarly, hot air ballooning is an entirely different way to view landscapes and topography, while gracefully drifting in near silence over treetops, sharing the open skies with gliding eagles and hawks.

 

Fly & Soar allows us to pair the best we offer at The Inverness with one of the most exhilarating activities in the area, illustrating there are always new ways to experience our hotel,” said Katie Johnson, marketing communications manager. “Our comfortable lodgings, excellent food and luxurious spa treatments are what guests can expect when they return, but elements like hot air ballooning delivers the touch of flair that converts an ordinary stay into extraordinary. We’re happy to serve as a familiar base for exploring Denver and the surrounding areas.”
