Washington DC Hotel Prepares for 2009 Presidential Inauguration
WASHINGTON, DC, November 5, 2008. The Phoenix Park Hotel, a landmark Capitol Hill hotel since 1922, is gearing up for the fast-approaching Presidential Inauguration on January 20, 2009 with an exclusive accommodation special open to politicians, celebrities and anyone who desires a luxury stay in Washington D.C. before witnessing this magnanimous event.
Located on Capitol Hill just two blocks from the U.S. Capitol Building and site of the Inauguration, this boutique Washington D.C. hotel has a long-proven reputation of excellence among the city's movers and shakers.
Although tickets to the Inaugural swearing-in ceremony are limited and supplied at the discretion of standing U.S. Senators and Representatives, Inauguration day is always an exciting time to be in D.C. for any American, and there is ample entertainment to be enjoyed by all. Even without tickets, the public has two opportunities to get in on the fun.
First is the Presidential procession, where the President-elect and often the standing President ride to the Capitol directly after a traditional morning worship service that was begun by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933. Following the swearing-in ceremony and Inaugural luncheon, non-ticket holders can again experience the festivities as the Inaugural Parade takes to Pennsylvania Avenue. This joyous parade of floats, music and celebration is viewed by the President, Vice President and their families.
Management and staff at the Phoenix Park Hotel always look forward to this day with great anticipation. Leticia Proctor, Director of Sales and Marketing for Phoenix Park, says, "The Phoenix Park Hotel is proud to have participated in many of the past twenty-five inaugurations since our hotel opened in 1922, and we're just as excited to be a part of the twenty-sixth."
To that end, the luxury lodging in Washington D.C. is providing an exclusive room rate for four days surrounding the Inauguration ceremony so that anyone can visit and view the ceremony affordably.
