Indulge a Passion for a Fine Cigar With New Package at Downtown Charlotte Hotel

CHARLOTTE, NC--(Marketwire - Sep 21, 2012) - While the Charlotte Marriott City Center is, like all Marriott Hotels, a smoke-free property, the hotel does recognize there are still cigar lovers out there. As a result, the Charlotte hotel has created a new package for cigar lovers to indulge in a private setting: A Cut Above/Experience Cutter's Package which offers everything needed for the ultimate cigar smoking getaway.

Cutter's Cigar Bar is one of the last remaining smoking lounges in Charlotte, featuring authentic, legal, pre-Castro cigars as well as over 35 selections of Scotch in a private setting that does not impact the rest of the hotel. The Charlotte Cigar Bar provides a warm ambiance of sophisticated stylishness with soft and plush North Carolina-crafted leather chairs and couches, a Mother-of-Pearl-inlaid pool table, and imported Honduran Mahogany wood bar and tables. Cigar Aficionado Magazine recognized Cutter's as "one of the top cigar bars in the Southeast."

A Cut Above/Experience Cutter's Package includes the following:

• Deluxe overnight accommodations;
• Two cigars;
• Signature Cutter's matches and cigar cutter to keep;
• Torn Ranch Chocolate Pearls candy and Altoid mints

This package is priced from $144 per room, per night; is available for Thursday through Sunday night stays; and valid through August 30, 2013. Rates are exclusive of taxes. To make a booking, call 800-228-9290 or visit www.marriott.com/specials/mesOffer.mi?marrOfferId=777208&displayLink=true and ask for promotional code YQ2.
