10 Outrageously Expensive Hotel Packages For The Presidential Inauguration

The Madison Hotel's $47,000 Inauguration Package has received a lot of buzz in the press, and for good reason — not only do guests get to stay in the Presidential Suite, have a personal town car and driver, as well as a $5,000 shopping spree at Brooks Brothers, but the package also includes a "Dedicated Social Media Butler" to chronicle your entire stay on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest (seriously).

Based on the White House Oval Office, the Willard Hotel's inauguration suites start at a $5,700 base price for a four night minimum. Add in the $27,000 catering service for your presidential parade viewing party, and your stay at the 150-year-old Pennsylvania Avenue hotel could cost just under $50,000.

The W Washington DC (right across the street from the White House) will be featuring an "Extreme-Wow Suite" on the 10th floor with panoramic views of the Washington Monument, White House, Treasury Department, and parade routes. The $50,000 price tag includes a private limousine tour of the monuments and a $100,000 jewelry loaner from Washington’s historic Connecticut Avenue jeweler.

Both the Hyatt's Presidential Suite as well as its guests will be decked out in Saks Fifth Avenue goods as a part of the $57,000 package. A personal butler service will also be provided, as well as a chauffeur, a dinner at Blue Duck Tavern's Chef's Table, an in-suite couples' massage, and a VIP backstage tour of the  Kennedy Center.

The Hyatt Regency in D.C. created a $70,000 Pres Package with tickets to the Presidential Swearing-in Ceremony, the Inaugural Address, the parade, as well as a few other galas and balls you can attend. You'd be sleeping in the Presidential suite with two guest rooms for friends and family to stay in, plus a limousine to take you to and from the airport.

For $100,000, Ritz-Carlton's VIP inauguration package gets you two first class round trip airline tickets, a four-night stay in one of its suites, a private tour of Washington D.C. with an award-winning guide, and a hair and wardrobe consultation with a Saks Fifth Avenue "Fashion Concierge." Not to mention the food — guests can look forward to a cupcake decoration party in Georgetown Cupcake as well as a three course dinner by Executive Chef Yves Samake.

Morrison House really went above and beyond with the $200,000 Inauguration Package. The steep price will get you accommodations in 45 guest rooms, a 24-hour butler service, daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner by Executive Chef Brian McPherson of The Grille at Morrison House, and a car for guest use. And when you leave, don't forget your keepsake silk pajamas and pillowcases monogrammed with your initials and the inauguration date.

The $320,000 Hotel Madera package is all about the gifts: a Kimpton animal print robe embroidered with 2013 Inauguration date, Riedel wine glasses etched with a donkey, and an inauguration "Survival Kit" with bottled water, hand warmers, and ponchos in case of rain. Guests will also have a cocktail party in the Firefly Restaurant, a four-course dinner by Chef Daniel Bortnick, and an invite to the Inauguration Ball Social in the Firefly Lounge.

For everyone wondering what the outrageous $2.7 million presidential inauguration package will get you at the Marriott, here's the complete rundown: 8 nights in the presidential and vice presidential suites, hotel accommodations for 300 of your best friends, access to the 7,300-square-foot sky terrace to watch the inaugural parade (complete with crystal chandeliers and six 52” HDTVs), and $800,000 worth of food, beverage, and keepsake inaugural amenities. CrowdTilt idea, anyone?
