HouseWives on Hiatus Package Gives Women a Desperately Needed Vacation
Edited by Madelyn Miller
Lately, it seems all roads from Wisteria Lane lead to the
office water cooler, the supermarket, soccer practice or after-school car
pools. Isn't it time for a detour? Omni Hotels has the right idea to soothe a
gal's nerves - the Housewives on Hiatus package. It's a guaranteed good time for
frazzled friends, stressed-out sisters and manic moms.
Desperate to escape? Here's the scoop: Guests can make a
reservation at any Omni Hotels property and ask for the Housewives on Hiatus
package. The package includes:
-
a one-night stay in deluxe accommodations with VIP
turndown service in the evening;
-
a bottle of wine upon arrival;
-
an advance call from the concierge to customize a
girlfriend's getaway, based on her favorite Desperate Housewives character;
-
a welcome bag with lots of girly goodies including
scented body lotion, herbal shower gel and soft velour slippers; and
-
Desperate Housewives "Dirty Laundry" Game, poker sets
and fun "slumber party" games, like Twister, will be available for check out
from the hotel's front desk.
"This Housewives on Hiatus package offers something for
every woman - whether she's a busy soccer mom or an executive. We understand
that sometimes it's important to get away and our hope is to give our female
guests the break they need and deserve," said Caryn Kboudi, Omni's vice
president of marketing. "Whether it's a weekend away with college friends or a
pre-wedding getaway with attendants, we hope to create a memorable experience
that encourages women to take time out of their busy schedules and pamper
themselves."
Omni Hotels also will customize the package to suit guests
in each city, such as limo service to nearby shopping, luxurious spa treatments,
dinner reservations or nightlife recommendations.
Rates for the packages vary by hotel and room type, but a
sampling includes:
-
$139 per night at the Omni Houston Hotel
-
$239 per night at the Omni San Francisco Hotel
-
$234 per night at the Omni Shoreham in Washington, D.C.
-
$149 per night at the Omni Interlocken Resort and Spa
near Denver
The Housewives on Hiatus package will be available through
Dec. 30, 2005 for arrivals on Friday or Saturday. Advance reservations are
required, and rates are subject to availability and blackout dates. The package
does not apply to group conventions or packages and cannot be combined with
other discounts. Details are available at
