Dear Colleagues,  

We are pleased to share special stay and event opportunities with you for Mother’s Day at AU’s Airlie Hotel and Conference Center in Warrenton, VA. For our faculty and staff, we offer a special overnight Mother’s Day package at $280 per night that includes the following: one overnight guestroom (king, queen, or two double beds available), flowers with a special Mother’s Day card, a bottle of local wine, and s’more’s delivered to your room. You’ll also receive a 15% Mother’s Day discount at Harry’s Restaurant valid on May 11 or May 12.   

If you are looking for a great brunch opportunity without an overnight stay, we are offering the AU community a special 10% discount on Mother’s Day Brunch at the Airlie Dining Room. 

Airlie is a 300-acre property that is home to the Airlie Berkshire Farm, Airlie Hotel, and the historic Airlie House. The property was gifted to Â鶹´«Ã½ in 2016. Visitors can enjoy the property’s magnificent views, observe the sustainable activities of the property’s fully functioning 90-acre farm, as well as learn about its storied history. For more than half a century, Airlie has welcomed global leaders, heads of state, and diplomats who have convened there for conferences and programs dedicated to social progress, education, environmental research, and public health. Most notable among the myriad ideas to emerge from Airlie was the concept of Earth Day in 1969, which now has become an annual international tradition. 

You can reserve your Mother’s Day stay online or by going to and using the promo code HAPPYMOTHERS. You can reserve Mother’s Day Brunch online using the promo code AUPERKS.
