Exceptional properties throughout Westchester County are offering rates of $99 to $325 per room, per night, on Friday and Saturday nights during this exciting summer promotion.  Participating hotels include: The Castle on the Hudson in Tarrytown, Courtyard by Marriott in Rye, Crowne Plaza White Plains, Doral Arrowwood Resort in Rye Brook, Hampton Inn in Elmsford, the Holiday Inn Mount Kisco, the Residence Inn in White Plains, and the Wellesley Inns in Armonk and Elmsford.

The Westchester County Office of Tourism organized this countywide package plan for the third year in a row.  "Summer travel is on the upswing, and Westchester is a destination you can reach with less than a full tank of gas!" said Margo Jones, Director of the Office of Tourism.  "Couples or families can stay at a great hotel or resort, enjoy a variety of activities, or just lounge by the pool at most properties."

Several family attractions, historic sites, and cultural institutions are also providing special discount offers as part of the "Summer Weekends" package.  Upon hotel check-in, visitors will receive "The Westchester Way" Welcome Kit with coupons and special offers for places such as Playland Amusement Park in Rye, the new Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture in Pocantico Hills, the Historic Hudson Valley sites, the Neuberger Museum of Art in Purchase, and The Westchester (shopping center) in White Plains.

The Office of Tourism is supporting the promotion with a print and broadcast advertising campaign in the metropolitan New York area.
