Can you think of a better way to welcome Spring?
It all started in 1912, when Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo gifted the city of Washington 3,000 cherry trees to honor the lasting friendship between the United States and Japan. Since then, the Nation’s Capital has been famous for its spectacular springs and gathers a lot of people wishing to admire the blossoming of the cherry trees. The garden in Hotel Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC features cherry blossom trees that were planted at the hotel’s opening by the daughter and granddaughter of Mayor Ozaki.
USAThis spring Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC creates a truly unique cherry blossom experience by honoring the hotel’s oriental heritage, with the traditional Japanese custom of “Hanami”. This centuries-old practice translates to “blossom-viewing” and is a way to welcome in spring by gathering under blooming cherry blossoms with food, drinks and friends to marvel at the natural beauty of the “Sakura” (cherry blossoms). The hotel provides guests with a blanket and gourmet picnic for two to enjoy under the blossoms, conveniently located steps away from the hotel. The cherry blossom viewing continues in a specially selected guestroom with exclusive views of the Tidal Basin and cherry trees.

daily rates starting at USD 485. The offer includes:

cherry trees
