PITTSBURGH, Pa. — July 2009 — Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the nation’s first moon landing with a Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel getaway package that is a small rate for mankind, and a giant leap towards entertainment.

 

Historic lodgings, space-themed amenities and an inviting city to explore beckon guests to the Renaissance Pittsburgh, the city’s only AAA Four Diamond hotel.

 

Commemorate Apollo 11’s historic landing — and astronaut Neil Armstrong’s famous walk on July 20, 1969 — with the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel Over the Moon Package available most weekends now through Sept. 22, 2009. The package includes overnight accommodations in a deluxe guest room, two tickets to Carnegie Science Center, in-room space movie, Moon Pies and two Blue Moon Martinis (1.5 parts Bombay Sapphire Gin, 0.75 parts Blue Curacao Liqueur, served with a twist of lemon).

 

“We want to give guests a fun way to celebrate an important moment in history,” says Melanie Koscelnak, the hotel’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “And what better way to mark it than spending time in a hotel that embraces history.”

 

Housed in the classic 1906 Fulton Building at 107 Sixth St. in The Cultural District, this Pittsburgh luxury hotel was masterfully restored, exuding the timeless elegance of old-world charm, while providing the personal service designed for modern contentment. A stylish choice among boutique hotels, the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel offers lavish guest rooms that combine the sophistication of yesterday with the conveniences of tomorrow.

 

Rates for the Over the Moon Package range from $199 to $209, plus tax and gratuities. The offer is based on availability and some restrictions apply.
