Sherman's Travel

Need a break from updating your Twitter, facebook, and/or Myspace accounts? Kimpton’s new Lorien Hotel & Spa, a lovely Alexandria boutique, just outside D.C., has crafted a refreshing PDA-free package that will leave your followers and friends wondering, what’s up with her status, or lack thereof.

Rates for the Social Media Detox package start from $199/night and include a 10-minute chair massage, a $20 credit to BRABO or BRABO Tasting Room, complimentary use of bicycles and route maps, and an item off the Dream Service Menu such as milk and cookies or a lavender eye pillow.  Plus, resist the urge to update your profile during your stay and earn a $25 certificate that can be used towards a future stay at the hotel through February 28, 2010. At checkout, prove your social media abstinence by presenting a print-out (from the in-room computers) displaying your lack of activity, or via Blackberry/iPhone.  

Book this offer by December 30 by calling 877-856-7436 (rate code DTOX) or visit www.lorienhotelandspa.com.
