Hilton Atlanta-Marietta
The Home Tour:
The home tour was started by Theresa Jenkins, executive director of the Marietta Welcome Center & Visitors Bureau, 25 years ago. Seven hundred visitors came that first year and the event, like a fine wine, has steadily improved with age. This year, in addition to the beautifully decorated homes and public buildings, the tour includes a new event: Candlelight Bistro at the Brickyard, tucked into a 1920s warehouse at Marietta Station on the Square, will offer two special dinner seatings on Saturday evening with a menu inspired by the historic homes and the holidays.
“This makes the perfect date night,” says Jenkins of the tour package that combines the home tour with an evening at the Bistro.
In that spirit Hilton Atlanta - Marietta is offering a special Romance Package that compliments the Home Tour and Bistro Dinner Perfectly.
Hilton Atlanta-Marietta Romance Package includes:
*A luxurious hotel room.
*Early check-in & pre-registration upon request.
*In-room sparkling wine or cider upon arrival
*Access to hotel health club, pool and whirlpool spa.
*Full American breakfast for two in their room.
*Late check-out available upon request.
