Score one for procrastinators! We are heading down the home stretch of summer vacation and for families who have yet to hit the road on an annual getaway your delaying a seasonal escape has finally paid off.
Numerous hotels in the Washington, D.C. area are offering amazing end of the summer deals. The properties are located near some of the nation’s most historic attractions and can easily serve as the venue for a memory-filled educational vacation for the entire family.
Take a look:
GEORGETOWN EXPERIENCE
For $150 per room per night you will receive accommodations at Georgetown Suites, where you’ll stay in a deluxe room with an HD flat-screen TV and a full kitchen (save money and prepare your own meals). You’ll also receive 2 one-day passes for a bus service that transports tourists to the Smithsonian museums and the National Gallery of Art. The package price also covers parking; a continental breakfast; free wireless Internet service; and special coupons for two-for-one dining at participating local restaurants. Bonus: The hotel is within walking distance to Georgetown University and a slew of upscale boutiques and restaurants.
PASSPORT TO D.C.
From now until the end of August you can take advantage of the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel’s “Passport to D.C.” travel package. For just $219 per room per night you will stay at the 1,316-room Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, set on 16 acres near the National Cathedral and the National Zoo. The package price includes breakfast for two, a meeting with the hotel concierge to plan your visit, city maps, a guidebook, a 21-inch wheeled suitcase, and two tickets for a city tour on a double decker bus. The catch: A three-night stay is required, which means you will be paying $657 total for the entire package.
SPY AND STAY
The “Spy and Stay” package being offered by the Madison Hotel is perfect for families with children who like to imitate super sleuths. For $270 per room per night you will receive accommodations at the posh 391-room Madison Hotel, which has 24-hour room service, a spa, and a fitness center. You will also receive two VIP tickets to the International Spy Museum, as well as breakfast for two and two movie passes to Regal Cinemas to see a movie of your choice (the hotel suggests Get Smart, to keep up the spy theme). Bonus: The hotel is within walking distance to the Air and Space Museum and the Washington Monument.
