Houston: Time travel to the Triassic with a Hotel ZaZa package

Hotel ZaZa in Houston offers a package for those who want to see a few dinosaurs during their stay. For starters, there will be dino bones on display in the lobby as well as two tickets to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, dinner and other extras starting at $249 a night.

The deal: The historic hotel, located in the Arts District on the edge of Hermann Park, is featuring a Texas Triassic Tour that also includes dinner for two at the hotel’s Monarch Bistro, a free bottle of wine, free valet parking and free Internet access. ZaZa also offers a variety of discounted Preserve Your Skeleton spa treatments for less than $100.

When: The offer is good through March.

Tested: I found the deal available for Labor Day weekend (Sept. 1-3) for a Grande room with a king- or queen-sized bed. The goodies add up for this package, considering it’s only $20 more than the best available rate for the same room on the same night; dinner more than makes up the difference.
