Limelight Hotels partnered with children's design house Janie and Jack to launch 'Under the Limelight with Janie and Jack,' a series running for nine weekends through August 2026 at properties in Mammoth, Boulder, Ketchum, Aspen, Snowmass and Denver. Programming includes lawn games, live music, poolside fun and open-air cinema nights, marking Janie and Jack's first-ever hospitality partnership.
Branded moments include Janie and Jack pool and lawn experiences, weekly scavenger hunts and Americana-inspired family outfitting for Fourth of July celebrations, featuring patriotic prints, gingham dresses and matching family sets. Guests can also enter the 'Getaway Giveaway' sweepstakes for a chance to win a three-night stay and a $2,000 Janie and Jack gift card.
