There's no escaping the winter chill.

So why not embrace it with a value-packed, weekend getaway to Fairfax County, Virginia, just outside of Washington DC? Fairfax County is always a smart place to stay, boasting central access to the area's most popular attractions. Better yet, when you stay one night at regular room rates at one of our participating hotels, your Saturday rate will be determined by the outside temperature at Dulles International Airport at 12 Noon*.

$48? $36? $22? The fun is in finding out! Because the colder it gets, the more you'll save—while enjoying all the great things to see and do in Fairfax County.

Because it gives you access to the entire Capital Region, Fairfax County gives you the best of both worlds: great location with a wide variety of diverse vacation experiences perfect for every member of the family.

Immerse yourself in some of our nation's most
coveted holiday traditions,

such as the lighting of the National Christmas Tree. You can also ring in the season at the Wolf Trap Holiday Sing-A-Long where traditional holiday music is performed by the U.S. Marine Corps Band. Or visit the Bull Run Festival of Lights, attracting visitors from hundreds of miles around. Enjoy a Colonial Christmas evening with George Washington while taking a candlelit tour of his home at Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens and be sure to make a date with a sugarplum fairy to see the Joffrey Ballet perform The Nutcracker at the Kennedy Center.
