Cowboys invented the handlebar mustache so they'd always have somewhere to hang their hats. Save yourself the grooming time and hang your Stetson bedside with today’s Groupon: for $99, you get a one-night stay at the stately Ambassador Hotel (up to a $199 value).

Nestled in the heart of downtown, this historic 1920s hotel offers modern lodging amenities in an elegant, art-deco environment. Bronzed elevators transport travelers or weekenders from the Ambassador's marble-floored lobby to its elegant and comfortable rooms, complete with a 40-inch flat-screen television, high-speed Internet access, and feather pillow-topped beds.

Shuck the complimentary his and her robes for a foray to the state-of-the-art on-site fitness center, where guests can warm up their knee bends and elbow pumps for upcoming glockenspiel galas. After sojourners shower and spiff up with the hotel's Aveda skincare products, complementary shuttle carriages can convey clients to nearby museums, shops, or the other side of the block.
