New on the Menu 2020 marks Rancho La Puerta’s 80th anniversary. To celebrate this milestone, Rancho La Puerta has launched several anniversary-inspired programs and experiences for 2020. Included are two new “glamping-style” spa treatment tents and a weekly 80th-anniversary-themed fitness challenge for guests. In June, guests of the property will have the opportunity to win a one week stay for only $80. Additionally, throughout the year, Rancho La Puerta will be giving back to their hometown of Tecate, Mexico, through a new program called Ochenta Canastas, Ochenta Personas. Eighty canastas (baskets) of nutritious food will be donated regularly to the surrounding community through organizations that assist orphans, migrants, seniors and women. Each basket contains enough food to feed an individual for one week. Open for Business The Hopemore, a specialty spa servicing those experiencing injury, illness or elective procedures, has opened in the sixth-floor salon area of Neiman Marcus’s flagship store in down- town Dallas, Texas. In addition to traditional spa treatments, oncology-trained estheticians designed the menu of services for clients experiencing every stage of cancer treatment and recovery. Giving Back 1 1.
