Rich with wild west flavor

DREAMERS AND desperados,
romantics and rustlers, mil-
lionaires, merchants and miners
all carved their signatures on the
mystique of the Rocky Mountain
West.

What better way to experience
that mystique this summer than
with a stay in a member hotel of
The Association of Historic
Hotels of the Rocky Mountain
West (AHH-West). Twenty-one
jJandmark hotels offer accom-
modations rich with the favor
and traditions of the ‘Wild
West.”

The Atchison, Topeka and San-
ta Fe Railroad delivered characters
like Billy the Kid, Doc Holliday
and Black Jack Ketchem to Las
Vegas, New Mexico where the
“belle of the Southwest,’’ . The

Plaza Hotel, reigned supreme.

The Izaak Walton Inn in Essex,
Montana, which earlier accom-
modated Great Northern Railway
crews, today greets guests seeking
adveniure in the rugged Moniana
wilderness. Guests to both hotels
come by rail or car and choose
among hiking, horseback riding,
museum tours, wildlife hikes and
national parks and monuments.

The sights and sounds of the
Wild West are as alive today at
The Irma hotel in Cody, Wyom-
ing, as in the days of its founder,
Buffalo Bill Cody, world’s most
famous cowboy. Summer rodeos
are nightly events in Cody, and
tourists fll town on the fourth of
July for the Stampede. Visitors
also delight in the impressive Buf-
falo Bill Historical Cestre.

The Savoy is not above promo-
tions, such as a current offer of
seven nights during any 14-night

- period at the hotel or others in the
group, the Berkeley, Claridge’s,
the Lygon Arms in the country,
and the Lancaster in Paris
(delightful for a quiet, outdoors
lunch).

The cost is about $3,000 and
that includes limousines from the
airport and’ between hotels,

breakfasts, vouchers at top shops -

and a game of golf at Wentworth.

- Finally, no other hotel in the
world can boast a club of former
Savoy receptionisis who call

lot to offer

themselves the Gastronomes.

One tells of the time he threw
open the door of a Savoy suite for
inspection by a party of French
travel agents: ‘‘This is one of the
most interesting rooms in the
hotel,’’ he said ... and there was a
couple making fove on the bed.
Being French, the travel agents
surged forward for a better look.

The confusion of doors in a
Savoy suite has dented the dignity
of many a receptionist.

Julias: Payne, later an admired
hotelier, once recalled: ‘‘There is a
knack to making an exit from a
suite, with a £5 note in your

greasy palm — without backing

into a wardrobe, as I once did.’’

Explore fine art and make fine friends

ART CAMPS offer children in-
terested in the social aspect of day
camps a non-traditional opportu-
nity to expand on and develop
their creative skills.

RecCentre Ron Andrews is of-
fering two such art camps, giving
students a chance to make new
friends while exploring and devel-
oping their artistic talent.

Cezanne’s Art Camp is for

those six to eight years old, and
Art Camp Extra! is for nine- to
12-year-olds. Hoth camps focus
on a variety of media and will
involve fun, imagination, explora-
tion and creativity with North
Shore artist Betty Ditters.

Registration for these and other

creative programs can be done by

phone. Call 987-PLAY.

Mining brought rapid growth to
the West. The Historic Redstone
Inn, constructed in 1902 to
resemble an old English tavern,
housed bachelor miners employed
by millionaire coal baron John
Cleveland Osgood. Skiing, hiking,
hunting, and fishing make
Redstone, Colorado a year-round
destination.

The Imperial Hotel sprang up in
1896 when Cripple Creek, Col-
orado became known as ‘The
World’s Greatest Gold Camp.”” A
century later The Imperial offers
nightly melodramas and limited
stakes gambling.

The West owes much of its
Tystique to Native ‘American
resistance to railroads, cowboys,
and miners. ‘Today, Native Amer-
icans proudly preserve ‘Weir
heritage through dance ceremonies
and markets. Indulge in south-
western ambiance at the historic
Taos Inn, Taos, New Mexico,
while taking in Taos Pueblo’s
“Pow-Wow'’in July. Over 300
dancers from the United States
and Canada perform dances in
full costume. .

In August, bask in elegance at
Santa Fe, New Mexico’s Hotel
St. Francis before shopping at the
Indian Market where America’s
largest selection of Native Ameri-
can crafts is on display.
