Stop and Smell the Roses at the 2013 Philadelphia Flower Show

PHILADELPHIA, PA--(Marketwire - Feb 8, 2013) - Fans of the Philadelphia Flower Show simply can't find a better place to stay than at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown hotel -- which is the only hotel connected to the Philadelphia Convention Center by covered walkway. This year the Center City Philadelphia hotel is offering a special "Stop and Smell the Roses" package in honor of the Philadelphia Flower Show priced from $238 per room.

The Philadelphia Flower Show (March 2 to 10) is the world's longest running and largest indoor flower show. The 2013 Flower Show glows with the majestic beauty and creative genius of Great Britain and is inspired by centuries of British Culture. Exhibits will take visitors from royal palaces to the dark and foggy streetscapes of Jack the Ripper, the whimsy of the Mad Hatter's tea party, the coziness of a country cottage, and the refinement of a manicured cricket club for a whirlwind tour of the UK.

The "Stop and Smell the Roses" package at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown hotel includes the following:

• Deluxe overnight accommodations
• Two tickets to the 2013 Philadelphia Flower Show
• Breakfast for two in the hotel restaurant

This package is priced from $238 to $310 per room, per night exclusive of tax and gratuity and is valid Friday through Sunday through March 10, 2013. For additional information or to make a booking visit www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel-deals/phldt-philadelphia-marriott-downtown/ and use promotional code PKG or call (800) 228-9290.
