I thought we were done with the six-figure presidential inauguration hotel packages but the Lansdowne Resort in Virginia has just announced another one. The package however is more about being treated in "presidential style" than about the event itself. The package which is priced at $200,900, a portion of which will be donated to the U.S.O., includes three nights in a presidential suite for two, as well as three additional rooms for two people each. Guests be given round trip private air transportation for up to eight people, via NetJets, from any destination in the continental U.S. The suite will have a full bar, caviar, Chicago deep dish pizza and a 60-inch flat screen high definition TV for watching swearing-in ceremonies. Other treats include daily breakfast buffet, private fitness sessions, nightly premium cigars and brandy by the Great Room fireplace or outdoor fire-pit and a private shopping tour to Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue with a personal assistant. The package also includes spa treatments, inaugural souvenirs from Washington-based jewelry designer Ann Hand and a case of private label Loudoun County Virginia wine. The main event of the stay is a private party for 200 people which will include the same Hawaiian specialties featured at the President's Hawaii State Inaugural Ball, as well as dinner, drinks, and a live orchestra.
