Bondage bestseller inspires hotel deals
Two Seattle hotels are offering ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ getaway packages based on the bestselling ‘mommie porn’ potboiler. The packages are designed to mimic the Pacific Northwest-based adventures of everyone’s favorite alternative lifestyle couple Anastasia and Christian Grey.
Hotel Max offers a two night package in an Artist King room on the hotel’s trendy eighth floor with a chauffeured town car service, a helicopter tour of the city and a private four hour cruise on Puget Sound. The cruise is lubricated with a bottle of Bollinger (Grey’s favorite) and paired with a picnic basket. "Fifty Shades of Seattle" packages begin at $1669, plus tax. Room assignments on the eighth floor are based on availability. The two-night package is available now through September 30, 2012 and must be booked at least seven days in advance of arrival.
The landmark Edgewater Hotel (once host to the Beatles and Led Zeppelin) is also doing a Grey-themed package with the same brand of champagne, a sailing excursion, a whirl around town in Grey’s favorite Audi rental and a tour of the city’s noted Grey landmarks.
Author E.L. James has admitted that she has never visited either Seattle or Vancouver (sites in the book). Now she is sure to have fifty varieties of presidential suites in either city to choose from.
