Sheraton Washington North Opens Doors with Seven Special Packages

"The hotel has completed a multi-million-dollar renovation and is in mint condition," said Michael George, Crescent's president and CEO. "We are introducing our property via seven magnificent hotel packages that will showcase both the city of Washington and our hotel."

    The Sheraton Washington North Packages include:

    -- D.C. Is For Lovers -- "Virginia doesn't have a lock on affairs of the
       heart," said Devin Heath, general manager.  "We are a great weekend
       getaway for lovers who want to build on their relationship.  Each
       weekend throughout the month of February, we offer a special package
       that includes a Bed, Body and Bath special amenity package, brunch for
       two in bed and, of course, late check out."
    -- Cherry Blossom Special -- Available March 29 to April 13, guests will
       receive free shuttle transportation to the Metro and free Metro passes

       blooms will be on glorious display.  Guests also will receive a
       commemorative Cherry Blossom coffee table book.
    -- Snow Bird Special -- Senior citizens traveling the Northeast corridor
       will enjoy the Snow Bird Special.  Members of AARP, CAA, CARP and AAA
