Washington DC Event

Events in DC are being taken to a whole new level thanks to the unprecedented excitement over President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony. Check out some of the most outrageous offerings by hotels in DC that are meant to give guests a presidential experience.

Omni Shoreham Hotel

As a host to presidents, world leaders and inaugural balls, the 834-room Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington DC is a fitting location for taking advantage of its plush "Live Like the President" packages. The 44th Commander-in-Chief Package features a private jet for arrival and departure, a private in-room dinner for four, a personal concierge and chauffeur 24 hours a day, a $44,000 shopping spree from the Lambros Jewelry Inauguration Collection and more. Guests can even work on their foreign policy experience with a five-night gift certificate to Russia's Kempinski Hotel Moika 22 in St. Petersburg.

The Omni Shoreham's second package, the 58th Inauguration Package, features a four-night stay in the one-bedroom Presidential Suite, two first-class airline tickets for arrival and departure, private breakfast served daily and a private in-room dinner, among other perks.

Mandarin Oriental

The Presidential Privilege package at DC's Mandarin Oriental includes a four-night stay at the 3,500-square-foot presidential suite. In addition to floor-to-ceiling windows and two balconies, the suite boasts three rooms, three bathrooms, a grand piano and a 60-inch flat-screen television.

As if the accommodations weren't enough, the package includes a number of unique and impressive amenities. Guests are treated to a private dinner for eight at the hotel's on-site restaurant CityZen plus daily treatments at its spa. Outfits by designer Ralph Lauren will be on hand to wear to the inaugural balls, to which guests are driven in a chauffeured Maserati Quattroporte, stocked with snacks and Champagne.

Hilton Washington

Like many hotel packages at DC venues, the Hilton Washington's package includes posh accommodations in its Presidential Suite, daily breakfast, etc. What really makes its Inaugural Presidential Package stand out, though, is the exclusive, one-of-a-kind VIP tour of its Presidential Holding Facility.

Here, guests get an up-close view of the private quarters that the President, Vice President and First Lady use for one of the over 50 events they attend at the Hilton each year. The room features a rotunda with a marble and granite floor, a sitting room, a powder room and a private elevator.
