Explore Some of New York City's Most Memorable Destinations With Lower Manhattan Hotel's "Downtown Explorer" Package

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jul 20, 2012) - The New York Marriott Downtown hotel offers guests the opportunity to experience two of New York City's iconic destinations; one is over 100 years old; the other is not even one year old but already bears the highest level of honor. When guests book the New York Marriott Downtown's Explorer Package, the newest among hotel deals in downtown Manhattan, they will receive two tickets to the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island, which was dedicated in 1886. They will also receive two passes to the newly opened 9/11 Memorial, whose twin reflecting pools are a national tribute of remembrance. Since its opening nine months ago on September 11, 2011, the 9/11 Memorial has received thousands of visitors. 

This Marriott hotel near Battery Park is located just two blocks south of the memorial entrance, and the complimentary passes are provided to guests upon arrival to the hotel. Hotel guests who have reserved the Downtown Explorer package are not required to reserve a visitor's time slot in advance on the 9/11 Memorial website.

Conveniently located in the heart of Lower Manhattan, the New York Marriott Downtown puts guests at the center of this historic neighborhood, where everything is within walking distance. Transportation to the Statue of Liberty is just a 5-minute walk from the hotel's front door. The hotel is also close to shopping, museums, restaurants in NYC's Financial District and buildings of major architectural interest, such as the Woolworth Building, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, St. Paul's Chapel, Trinity Church and the former Customs House at Bowling Green. Its proximity to the water makes for cooler summer breezes downtown as guests stroll along the Battery and the Battery Park City Esplanade near North Cove Marina. 

The Downtown Explorer Package also includes American breakfast for two each day at our downtown New York restaurant and complimentary internet service. Rates are from $244 to $429 plus tax and are based upon availability, Thursday through Sunday. For details, visit the hotel website: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/nycws-new-york-marriott-downtown/ and click on the Downtown Explorer package under "Find Deals and Promotions" for all details. Be sure to enter Rate Code: ARN when booking the reservation.
