Celebrate our tallest President with our lowest rates.

Book a Fairfax County, VA accommodations package to celebrate Lincoln's Bicentennial and receive hotel rates* equal to the height of the shortest person in your party!

Here's how it works. Guests of participating Fairfax County hotels will have their hotel rate determined literally by the inch in honor of the 200th anniversary celebration of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, our nation's tallest President, who stood 76 inches tall. It's a unique opportunity to enjoy a Washington D.C. weekend getaway for less!

The best part of being here for the Lincoln Bicentennial is you'll get to explore and experience all of Northern Virginia's amazing history. Who would've known that President Lincoln's cottage would one day be recognized as an important 19th century icon in African American history?

Without Lincoln's extraordinary life, the Emancipation Proclamation wouldn't have been written and our nation's history would have been forever altered. His 200th birthday is the perfect time to commemorate Lincoln with bicentennial events at the Smithsonian Museum and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.

The list of participating hotels features some of the biggest names in Northern Virginia accommodations. So come celebrate Honest Abe and save while you do it! There's no better way to take advantage of the fantastic festivities and abundant events happening throughout Fairfax County and the Washington D.C area during this special time...honest!
