DECEMBER 17, 2009 - In honor of the District of Columbia City Council passage of the bill legalizing gay marriage, The Liaison Capitol Hill is pleased to extend their Pride Package through December 31, 2010. Starting at $199 per night, the Pride Package includes overnight accommodations, daily breakfast for two at Chef Art Smith's acclaimed Art and Soul restaurant and champagne cocktails for two from ArtBar - food and drinks valued at $72 per day. Additionally, for each package booked, a $10 donation will be made to White Knot for Equality, a non-profit organization whose mission is to achieve equal rights for the LGBT population. Guests will also receive a symbolic White Knot.

“The passage of this bill in the nation's capital is extremely symbolic,“ said Dani Elhachem, General Manager of The Liaison Capitol Hill. “Equality is a comfort that many of us take for granted and as an Affinia hotel, devoted to providing guests with a genuinely comfortable experience, we're proud to celebrate this historic step with the LGBT community.”

Previously scheduled to end on December 31, 2009, the Pride Package can be booked online at affinia.com using booking code PRIDE. Travelers can also build their own My Affinia profile to customize their stay with a variety of amenities and services, from personal toiletries and cupcakes to golf putters and walking tour kits, received every time they stay at any Affinia Hotel.

In keeping with Affinia's brand promise of total customized comfort, travelers who book the Pride Package can fine tune their vacation through the My Affinia Concierge, where they can choose from an array of stay-specific enhancements, including dinner reservations and tickets to local attractions.
