Wentworth Mansion Lets Parents Celebrate Graduation with Cap and Gown Package

Charleston, SC, April 02, 2009 --(PR.com)-- While college graduates may be ready to party once they have their diploma in hand, Junior’s parents, who have supported his higher education, are also deserving of a little celebration of their own. The Wentworth Mansion®, the AAA Five Diamond hotel in historic downtown Charleston, is giving them the chance to do just that with a special Cap and Gown Celebration package offered just in time for graduation this spring.

The package lets parents relax and unwind so they can enjoy their newfound financial freedom and pride (or relief) in their child’s accomplishment. It includes two nights in a Mansion Room, a couples’ spa treatment at the Spa at the Wentworth Mansion®, an afternoon sail on the Schooner Pride through Charleston Harbor and tickets for a romantic carriage ride with Palmetto Carriage.

Guests of the Wentworth Mansion® also enjoy a full European breakfast; afternoon tea and lemonade; evening wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres; evening turndown; wireless Internet access; parking; and passes to a local health club.

The Cap and Gown Celebration package is available May 8 through June 8 and costs $1,050 plus tax for two, with additional nights available for $400. Please note the carriage ride is not private.

"It’s not only a milestone for students to complete their college education, but it’s a great relief for the parents who have invested years in their children’s education," says Linn Lesesne, who along with her husband, owns and operates the Wentworth Mansion®. The pair currently have three children in college. "We wanted to celebrate the parents who have worked tirelessly to support their children, because we know what it’s like. Now it’s their turn to sit back and relax. Hopefully it will be ours soon!"
