LINCOLN, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker Hotel, the #1 hotel in Lincoln, Nebraska, is offering an out-of-this-world deal for the Solar Eclipse weekend August 18-21. The hotel’s Solar Eclipse Package provides a special experience for guests who want to see and enjoy one of nature’s most awe-inspiring sights.
People from across the world will gather to witness the eclipse on August 21. The eclipse will carve a path across the entire country and Nebraska happens to be a prime spot for viewing it. Observers will see approximately 1 minute 24 seconds of totality as the moon completely covers the sun. The last eclipse that travelled this path in the continental United States took place June 8, 1918, long before most of today’s U.S. residents were even born. As a community, Lincoln will celebrate the eclipse with entertainment opportunities throughout the entire eclipse weekend.
With rates starting at $259, the Cornhusker’s Solar Eclipse Package includes: overnight guestroom accommodations for two, breakfast buffet for two in The Café and complimentary valet parking. Exclusively added to this package are two disposable Solar Eclipse Glasses, Special Edition Solar Eclipse Patch from Homestead National Park, Special Edition Darkness Over the Prairie magnet, complimentary access to the Solar Eclipse Lounge Sunday night, and an Escape Lincoln guide with information about all the events for the Eclipse weekend. With amenities including an indoor pool and two in-house restaurants, a convenient location within walking distance to many shops and restaurants, and a complimentary shuttle in the downtown area, The Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker offers the perfect solar eclipse weekend getaway.
