#StrictlyStaycation Contest!
You don’t have to cross state lines to go on vacation…you can stay right here and be a tourist in your own town. We have a handful of beautiful, unique hotel properties right here in Lincoln, not to mention all the cool concepts in Omaha located just a hop, skip, and jump away. Book a room at one of these hotels and go explore nearby restaurants and shops. Everyone who participates will be entered into drawings for free over-night hotel stays and gift cards for dining and retail. In addition, there will be four main categories: Girls’ Night Out, Guys’ Getaway, Family Outing, and Couples’ Retreat (must book at least 3 rooms). The winning group of each category will get included in a fun special full-page feature in Strictly Business with a photo and write-up! Our hotels and businesses are taking the necessary precautions to ensure that we can still enjoy their services in a safe way, so let’s do that.
The Courtyard by Marriott Lincoln Downtown/Haymarket (www.marriott.com/lnkcy) is located in the heart of downtown Lincoln, Nebraska. The area is steeped with history and charm.

Book a room by calling (402) 904-4800 or visiting www.marriott.com/lnkcy.
The Kindler Hotel (thekindlerhotel.com) is the only boutique hotel of its kind in Lincoln, resembling a boutique hotel usually found only in large metropolitan U.S. cities and in Europe. Sit back and enjoy tasty, locally sourced small-plate food, and choose from a variety of creative handcrafted cocktails or the extensive selection of wines and bottled and draft beers in Boitano’s Lounge. To round out your stay, visit downtown Lincoln, including the wide selection of locally owned boutiques or head over to the Lincoln Children’s Museum, ice-cream shops, and the historic Haymarket.
The Kindler staff goes above and beyond to ensure that guests have everything they need to have an exceptional experience and takes great pride in making all guests feel welcome and at home during their stay. Their guest rooms are tastefully designed with plenty of gracious, open living space, plush bedding, and thoughtful and modern conveniences. All rooms and suites include luxurious decor, robes and slippers, heated bathroom floors, flat screen televisions, work space, complimentary Wi-Fi, refrigerator, personal coffee makers, snack basket, and a well-stocked honor bar. With so many area residents anxious for a getaway, The Kindler Hotel is partnering with local businesses to promote some of their own enticing “staycation” packages. The smaller boutique hotel, with just 45 guest rooms, is particularly attractive amid COVID restrictions because it bodes well for natural social distancing. Visit The Kindler Hotel Facebook or Instagram (@kindlerhotel) page for a chance to win one of a series of fabulous staycation packages!
