GEORGETOWN -- Providing a welcome oasis from D.C.'s humidity this time of year,
The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown recently kicked-off a new weekly cocktail series dubbed 'The Summer of Luxury'.
Held each Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and co-hosted by
DC Magazine, the string of mixers provides attendees with the chance to mingle amidst the posh backdrop of the hotel's spacious inner lobby, while sipping chilled complimentary cocktails (last week's inaugural libation was a special Ciroc vodka punch).
Adding to the luxurious nature of the event,
Aston Martin of Washington, D.C. will provide guests with the opportunity to slip behind the wheel of a handful of gleaming new exotic cars parked outside each week.
Washingtonians who turned-out for last Thursday's inaugural event were surprised to find recording artist
Bruno Mars sitting amongst them (he was in town for the first stop of his current North American tour). And while Grammy Award-winning musicians aren't guaranteed at every gathering, a fun group undoubtedly will still be lying in wait.
The Summer of Luxury series will run from now through mid-August. RSVPs to
esmaralda.prifold@ritzcarlton.com are suggested, but not required.
