St. Paul finally has REAL snow, the kind that actually looks like it's going to stay and create a white Christmas! The snow makes the Christmas season seem closer and more festive. With measurable snow, comes a reason to sit by the fireplace with a cup of cocoa or turn on all the Christmas lights and enjoy the sparkle and bling that snow adds to the season.
The holidays also encourage us to put "on the Ritz".
(or the more modern version)
One of the best places to put on the Ritz in St. Paul is Minnesota's historic landmark hotel, THE Saint Paul Hotel at 350 Market St. A five star hotel, The Saint Paul Hotel is nestled among important places like the Ordway Center, Landmark Center, the Xcel Center, the James J. Hill Library, and more. History, state of the art facilities, elegance and service all converge in a beautiful setting summer or winter. Private summer gardens have little nooks for doing business or relaxing.
Winter views include the beautifully decorated trees at Rice Park across the street.
It was at The Saint Paul Hotel main entry that Doormanasaurus greeted me this summer. Like the other doormen, the dino was dressed to the nine's complete with tails and a top hat. The Saint Paul Hotel's dino rendition was made by Stephen J. Gallivan.
