Special Package at Newly Opened Property Treats Guests to Breath-taking Spring Spectacular 
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Sheraton’s newest District of Columbia-area hotel, the 205-room Sheraton Washington North, (photo above) today announced a special package for visitors to the nation’s capital: star-studded access to D.C.’s famed Cherry Blossom Festival, one of spring’s most breath-taking showcases.
The comprehensive package includes free shuttle transportation to and from the Metro, free Metro passes for the 15-minute trip downtown and a commemorative cherry blossom coffee table book. The price of $169, double occupancy, also includes a full breakfast buffet for two.
The cherry blossom trees, a gift from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo in 1912, have become a quintessential part of D.C.’s kick-off of the spring season. They attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to the two-week festival each year. The package will be available for the duration of the festival, from March 29th to April 13th.
“At the Sheraton Washington North, we offer convenient and easy access to the nation’s capital at what is arguably the most beautiful time of the year,” said Michael George, (photo top right) Crescent’s president and CEO. “Because traffic can be so overwhelming, the Metro is a great alternative because it drops visitors off just a short stroll away from the cherry tree-lined walkway in the Tidal Basin. Just take the Greenbelt line to the Navy Yard Station.
“We cre
ated this special package for our guests and their families, and we invite them to share our beautiful spring with us and enjoy all of the activities of the festival. This is one of the privileges of having such a prime location,” he noted.Located at 4095 Powder Mill Rd. at exit 29B on Interstate 95, the newly-opened Sheraton Washington North’s amenities include the brand’s new lobby concept called Link@Sheraton, which features comfortable seating, refreshments, large screen televisions, and multiple Internet-enabled workstations and free Internet access.
The hotel also offers a
state-of-the-art fitness center, outdoor swimming pool and a club-level floor with a concierge lounge and upgraded in-room amenities. The Powder Mill Café offers American cuisine in a warm casual setting.The property features 5,000 square feet of meeting space, highlighted by the Chesapeake Ballroom, a 3,600-square-foot ballroom capable of seating up to 400 people. Additionally, the Sheraton boasts a new state-of-the-art Executive Boardroom equipped with a 52” LCD monitor for presentations, which can be accessed easily through outlet ports built into the executive board tabl
