New Girls' Getaway Packages Include VIP Tickets to Diana: A Celebration, A Tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales at The Ritz-Carlton Hotels of Atlanta

ATLANTA, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- A new getaway experience for the ladies is announced at The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta (Downtown) and The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead, starting with overnight packages with VIP tickets and audio tour to an exhibit of the life and work of Diana, Princess of Wales at the Atlanta Civic Center through June 13, 2010.

"Diana: A Celebration" includes multiple galleries showcasing jewels and artwork owned by the aristocratic Spencer family; childhood home movies, family photo albums and a tiny toy car; 28 outfits from Versace, Valentino and other renowned designers; her charities; tributes by her brother, Charles Spencer, and Sir Elton John; and two diamond tiaras. The most iconic exhibit may be the Princess' storybook wedding gown and 25-foot train, seen by more than 750 million television viewers on her wedding day in 1981. When the exhibit leaves Atlanta (the only southeastern city to host the exhibit), it returns to Althorp Estate in England, the ancestral home of the Spencer family for 500 years, for display throughout the summer.

Guests of The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta and The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead may enjoy toasting their visit to the exhibit with specially created Diamond Tiara cocktails, created by the hotels' mixologists and beautifully garnished with gold leaf or edible white rose petals, $14 and $15 respectively, and offered in the lobby bars.

In recognition of the exhibit, Londonderry Tea, a favorite of the Princess of Wales, is added to the Afternoon Tea selections at The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead as well as miniature chocolate bread puddings, another of her favored treats. Afternoon Tea is served in the English tradition, with loose tea steeped in individual teapots and poured through sterling silver strainers into bone china teacups, and accompanied by savory tea sandwiches and freshly prepared pastries. Afternoon Tea is offered daily at 2:30; the cost is $28 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuities.
