BLUEFIN GRILLE WILL SHARE THE LOVE THIS FEBRUARY – The Providence Rescue Mission is a very special organization that the Providence Marriott Downtown has supported in the last year. The Marriott in Providence donates food and linens on a regular basis and hotel rooms when needed to the Providence Rescue Mission. This February, the Bluefin Grille is asking its guest to “Share the Love”. We’re asking for a small donation from each guest to add up to some much needed revenue for the Mission.  Special four course dinner for Valentine’s Day – available 2/12-2/19. $43 per person or add a suggested wine pairing for $53 pp. This menu is gorgeous! You have to come try and bring your Valentine! Reservations strongly suggested.

2011 has been a BIG year at the Providence Marriott Downtown. We reinvented our lobby this summer – now called the Greatroom. We celebrated the sunshine out at AQUA with some awesome live music and fun activities like free salsa lessons. The Providence Marriott now offers FREE wireless throughout the common areas and in our guest rooms. We bought a spanking new shuttle to take our guests to all the cool places in Providence. We also supported Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Research Foundation in October by offering a Pink Package all month and at the Bluefin Grille by offering pink desserts and cocktails – Make it & Shake it was pink too! These are just some of the things we worked on in 2011. Gearing up for 2012, we have AMAZING New Year’s Eve overnight packages available. Check them out on our Special Offers page.
