This Summer, Hilton Will School Guests With History Lessons
Hilton thinks you need a history lesson. Er, more specifically, Hilton thinks you should stay at one of its historic properties this summer and soak up a little local lore while you’re at it, courtesy of a new set of historical travel packages. You know, because while you could sip French wine at a Paris café this summer, you also could munch on cheesesteaks in Philly or beignets in Nola. All in the name of budget constraints patriotism, of course!
Here are a few of Hilton’s offerings for wannabe history buffs:
At the Hilton INN at Penn in Philadelphia, the See Philly Package includes accommodations, breakfast, and a 24-hour pass to the BIG BUS by Philadelphia Trolley Works. The tour has 20 stops along the way at Philly’s major landmarks, from the Liberty Bell to a lesson on the creation of the cheesesteak. Rates start at $244 per night, available through 2009.
The Historic New Orleans Package is available at the Hilton New Orleans St. Charles Place and includes a visit to the Historic New Orleans Collection museum, streetcar passes, and a room at the restored 1926 Masonic Lodge. Rates start at $209 per night, two-night stay required.
Based at the Hilton Palacio del Rio, San Antonio travelers can remember the Alamo (with two tour passes) as well as take in the frescoes at the Mission Concepcion and the Rose Window at the Mission San Jose, plus tour Wild West history at Buckhorn Saloon & Museum. Guests can end their day with a sweet pan dulce at El Mercado or cruise down the San Antonio River. Rates start at $199, two-night minimum stay required.
