Historic downtown hotel also celebrates female contributions with unique women-focused package and specialty cocktails
With Women’s History Month in full-swing, Ellis Hotel is asking local residents and guests to join them in collecting items for Wellspring Living, an Atlanta-based non-profit organization that provides residential and community-based programs for domestic sex trafficking victims.
The property will be collecting donations now through the end of the month via a donation bin located in the hotel’s lobby. Wellspring Living’s wishlist includes:
- Household cleaning items (detergent, dishwashing soap, mops, multi-purpose wipes)
- Toiletries (including feminine hygiene items)
- Blankets
- Packaged women’s underwear
- Brushes
- Robes
- Card games and puzzle books
- Stuffed animals
- Slippers
- Nail polish
- Socks
- Sunscreen
In addition to encouraging participation among guests, staff and the community, Ellis Hotel has pledged to donate all unused toiletry products in March to the organization.
“We encourage Atlantans to join us in giving back to an organization that is helping women in our backyard as they recover from traumatic experiences and develop the courage to move forward and the confidence to succeed,” said Tenille Perry, Ellis Hotel’s director of sales and marketing. “Women’s History Month is an important reminder of the substantial contributions women have made in society throughout time, and it’s important for us to honor this month and the women of our community by helping in any way we can.”
Ellis Hotel is committed to honoring women who make a difference year-round through their Celebrating Notable Women of Georgia Package. Female travelers who book this package are treated to an enhanced stay, complete with L'Occitane gift packages, deluxe accommodations and in-room amenities including a plush robe, slippers and a soothing sleep mask. Each room also features a plaque honoring one of 10 Georgia women who have devoted their lives to impacting their community. All honorees were nominated and voted on by their peers in 2018. The women spotlighted span all industries and walks of life including educators, entrepreneurs and religious workers.
Finally, Atlantans and guests alike can also enjoy specialty cocktails in honor of Women’s History Month. The Ellis Hotel’s Terrace Bistro is offering limited-time kiss and chocolate martinis throughout March. Patrons can also enjoy happy hour specials Monday-Friday from 5:00-6:30 p.m. and $2 Coastal Vine wines from 5:30 - 6:00 p.m.
