Washington, DC (Vocus) January 8, 2009 -- While the Loews Madison Hotel (www.loewshotels.com) is sold out for the 56th Presidential Inauguration the hotel has created a unique Lincoln Bedroom package, an overnight experience to commemorate Abraham Lincoln'ss bicentennial celebration and the historic inauguration of Barack Obama as the country'ss 44th President, that guests can experience after the January 20, 2009 festivities.
The Madison will present a rendition of The White House'ss Lincoln Bedroom (www.loewshotels.com), which will feature a copy of the Emancipation
Proclamation Honest Abe signed to free the slaves as well as a copy of Lincoln'ss famous Gettysburg Address. A replica of Lincoln'ss rocking chair and a full-sized bed with decorative
headboard and footboard highlight various historical memorabilia in the bedroom.
It just so happens that President-elect Obama'ss inauguration theme, A New Birth of Freedom, ties in the Lincoln bicentennial celebration, says Loews Madison General Manager Larry
Beiderman. Often, people buy T-shirts to commemorate their trip. Well, guests who buy this package will receive keepsake towels embroidered with I slept in The Lincoln Bedroom.
