NYC’s Washington Square Hotel Promotes Jazz

NEW YORK— The landmark Washington Square Hotel in Greenwich Village is teaming up with two of the city’s legendary jazz venues in an effort to draw tourists downtown. The 170-room property, which turns 100 in 2002, is partnering with jazz clubs Blue Note and Village Vanguard in promotional packages that includes a room at the family-run hotel, admission to one of the clubs, and a “generous” continental breakfast. Prices will range from $126 to $450, depending on accommodations, length of stay and performers at the clubs. The hotel also is offering discounts on dinner at its restaurant, C3, as well as nearby parking.
