Edmonton, Alberta (PRWEB) August 20, 2007 -- Summer is a time to recharge. For couples it can be hard to find the time to escape, much less plan, but several Edmonton hotels have recognized the need and created Edmonton couples packages (http://www.edmonton.com/itscoolerhere/portal_sum.asp?page=1011) that will appeal to couples simply looking for entertainment just as much as to romantics.

The downtown Courtyard by Marriott (800-321-2211) is catering to sporty couples who like to reconnect on the golf course with their Get Away Golf Package, including two nights' accommodations, two rounds of golf and car rental. This Edmonton hotel package allows couples to choose their course from Redtail Landing, Northern Bear, Cougar Creek or Jagare Ridge. Call 1-800-661-6382 to book this package.

For a little laughter, couples will enjoy West Harvest Inn's (800-661-6993) Comedy Package. This Edmonton getaway features standard or Jacuzzi-room accommodations, dinner and a comedy show at The Comic Strip at West Edmonton Mall.

West Edmonton Mall offers much more than Edmonton shopping (http://www.edmonton.com/itscoolerhere/page_sum.asp?page=1290) with attractions ranging from the Galaxyland Amusement Park to the amazing Sea Life Caverns. Many Edmonton hotels feature West Edmonton Mall packages. The Comfort Inn West Edmonton (800-4Choice) offers one night's accommodations, and two attractions passes to the mall, while the Sandman Hotel West Edmonton (800-Sandman) also includes two Denny's breakfast coupons and a West Edmonton Mall Savings Coupon book in its package.

Old school romantics have a selection of Edmonton hotel packages (http://www.edmonton.com/itscoolerhere/page_sum.asp?page=1274) from which to choose. Couples staying in South Edmonton to visit Fort Edmonton Park or the Muttart Conservatory have the Greenwood Inn's (888-233-6730) Romance Package, which includes one night's Deluxe King accommodations, chocolates and champagne and breakfast for two. Hotel Selkirk's (877-496-7227) Enchanted Evening package includes accommodation, European continental breakfast, elegant dinner in Johnson's Café and a romantic carriage ride through Fort Edmonton Park.

A romantic theme, The Hollywood Entertainment Package at Mayfield Inn & Suites (800-661-9804) includes one-night's accommodations in a suite with a double Jacuzzi, dinner theatre tickets, a split of Mumms champagne, two champagne flutes, chocolate dipped strawberries, long-stemmed rose, autographed theatre playbill and a full breakfast buffet.
