Cherry Blossom Fever: The D.C. Festival Has Spawned Hotel Packages Galore

Get your groove on in Washington D.C. this weekend, when the National Cherry Blossom Festival officially kicks off the spring season. Sip some cherry blossom cocktails, get a cherry-blossom-massage rubdown at local spas, and gawk at the pretty blooms in the Tidal Basin. Check out The Washingtonian's superb guide to the events celebrating the gift of 3,000 cherry trees from the city of Tokyo. You'll find a slew of cherry blossom-themed hotel packages to get you in the spirit, including a special at the historic Hay-Adams, where the Obamas checked in before moving into the White House. Other fun packages can be found at the Fairmont Washington D.C., Hotel Monaco Alexandria (chocolate-covered cherries, anyone?), The Madison, Park Hyatt Washington, Ritz-Carlton Washington D.C., St. Regis, and Willard InterContinental.
