Soon winter's snow and freezing rain will give way to warmer days in Washington D.C. The National Cherry Blossom Festival is an annual event in the nation's capital celebrating the blooming of the thousands of cherry trees along the Tidal Basin and elsewhere in the area. The 2011 Festival will commemorate the 99th anniversary of 3,000 Yoshino cherry trees presented by the Mayor of Tokyo to the City of Washington as a "memorial of national friendship between the United States and Japan."

The Fairmont Washington, D.C. is celebrating with its signature Cherry Blossom Package. Available from March 25 through April 15, 2011, the Cherry Blossom Package offers overnight accommodations for two in a luxurious guestroom, complimentary valet parking and a box of assorted note cards featuring scenes of the capital's monuments and cherry blossoms by celebrated Washington, D.C. photographer Jake McGuire.

Union Street Inn Packages Showcase "Inn'sider" Secrets of Nantucket

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels

Tis the season for Nantucket's Union Street Inn, a former whaling captain's home and Fodor's Choice selection three years running, to begin offering its absurdly charming brand of B&B lodging to nor'eastern visitors. New ways to see the area have been provided courtesy of the inn's Cisco Beach & Brew and the See Sisconset packages.

The first offer is for the kind of vacationer who's looking for real locals and real local flavors. The inn will take you to Cisco Beach on the west end of Nantucket's southern shore, which is known for remarkably soft sand and remarkably heavy swells. You'll get a voucher for lunch at Provisions, known for its sandwiches, and a certificate for Whale's Tale Pale Ale Beers from Cisco Brewers. Rates run from $199 per night during the week, and $229 on the weekend.
