Dear Colleagues,  

We are pleased to share special stay and event opportunities with you for Independence Day at AU’s Airlie Hotel and Conference Center in Warrenton, VA. For our faculty and staff, we offer a special 4th of July Celebration Package at $294 to $314 per night, plus taxes and fees that include the following: overnight accommodations, s'mores for two, and complimentary pool access. Available for stays from July 4 to July 7, this package is perfect for a memorable getaway.  If you prefer just a sleeping room without the package additions, you can use your AU faculty and staff discount promotional code, CLAWED, when booking at www.airlie.com for $119 per night plus taxes and fees (subject to availability).  

Airlie is a 300-acre property that is home to the Airlie Berkshire Farm, Airlie Hotel, and the historic Airlie House. The property was gifted to American University in 2016. Visitors can enjoy the property’s magnificent views, observe the sustainable activities of the property’s fully functioning 90-acre farm, as well as learn about its storied history. For more than half a century, Airlie has welcomed global leaders, heads of state, and diplomats who have convened there for conferences and programs dedicated to social progress, education, environmental research, and public health. Most notable among the myriad ideas to emerge from Airlie was the concept of Earth Day in 1969, which now has become an annual international tradition.  

Don’t miss out on this festive experience and reserve your stay today and make your 4th of July weekend extra special! You can reserve your Independence Day stay online here. If you have any questions, please write us at airlie@american.edu.  

With appreciation,
