HAGERSTOWN, Md. (August 2005) -- The Clarion Hotel & Conference Center Antietam Creek, a 210-room hotel located in Hagerstown, Md., near the world famous Antietam National Battlefield, is celebrating a $1.2 million refurbishment by offering a fall weekend golf package for leisure travelers who love to play golf.

The 'Hole in One' Weekend Package is available on a first-come, first-served basis the weekends of Sept. 30-Oct. 2, Oct. 7-9, and Oct. 21-23, 2005. Highlights include overnight accommodations for two nights in a newly restored guest room, complimentary all-you-can-eat continental breakfast, a gourmet dinner on Saturday evening, and an 18-hole round of golf at the acclaimed Black Rock Golf Course in the Appalachian foothills. At 9 p.m. daily, golfers can visit the hotel lobby for complimentary ice cream. The package is $147 per person for a group of four, $163 per person for a group of three, $196 per person for a couple, and $295 for one. All prices include tax. The hotel is located just south of historic downtown at 901 Dual Highway. Black Rock Golf Course is located at 20025 Mt. Aetna Road in Hagerstown. For reservations, call the hotel at (888) 528-6738.

"Black Rock Golf Course is located in a spectacular mountain foothill setting just east of downtown Hagerstown," said hotel Director of Sales and Marketing Bonnie Waltman. "Hagerstown is the perfect getaway because it is only an hour's drive from large East Coast cities such as Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. History buffs who love to golf can be at Antietam National Battlefield in only 10 minutes."

Other popular attractions in or near Hagerstown include the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, Fort Frederick State Park, Sideling Hill, War Correspondents Memorial Arch, the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, the Hager House, the Rural Heritage Museum, the Discovery Station Museum for Children, and Washington Monument State Park. Hagerstown, which is also known for its art and culture, draws visitors for performances of the Maryland Symphony Orchestra; concerts at the Maryland Theatre; Hagerstown Suns baseball games; shopping at Prime Outlets and area malls; the Antietam Recreation Wild West Dinner Show and Park (advance reservations required); and exhibitions at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, spotlighting artists such as Singer, Whistler, and Cassatt.

"Golfers can play an 18-hole round, then return to the hotel for free ice cream, a relaxing swim in the pool, or a gourmet dinner in the newly opened Andrews Steak and Seafood Restaurant, featuring Phillips Seafood," Waltman added. "Our newly restored guest rooms are beautiful."

Improvements to the guest rooms, suites and hallways include new plumbing, air conditioning, and heating; new textured champagne-colored wallpaper adorned with brass-accented sconces; teal-colored fine carpeting; new upscale furniture including plush wingback recliners, office desks, beds with cherry head boards and paisley-patterned bedspreads, and two-toned cherry entertainment centers (amoires) with wardrobe compartments and TV consoles; new microwaves, refrigerators, coffeemakers, irons, ironing boards, and hair dryers; and complimentary wireless Internet access. Some guest rooms overlook an indoor courtyard featuring a roof with skylights, a Japanese garden and pond with goldfish, and a large heated swimming pool.

The lobby, which features a chandelier and large pictures of Washington County's historic sites, has also been enhanced with new love seats, wingback chairs, and mahogany tables.

The meetings property, which is owned and managed by Rhode Island-based Magna Hospitality Group, L.C., features 30,000 square feet of flexible meeting space; a learning center for self-contained and focused group meetings; an 8,700-square-foot fitness center with certified trainers; free parking with more than 800 spaces; the newly opened Andrews Steak and Seafood Restaurant (featuring Phillips Seafood); and the neon-accented Barracuda dance club.

The hotel's gathering space can accommodate groups from 28 to 3,000. Function space ranges from the 15,026-square-foot Grand Ballroom (with eight break-outs) to the 3,800-square-foot Crystal Ballroom. New silver service (including china and chafing dishes) is available for upscale social events.
