Washington, D.C.—You too can live like the president, says Omni Shoreham Hotel. The cost? $440,000. The hotel is offering a top-of-the-line “44th Commander-In-Chief” 2009 Inauguration Package with a staggering price tag and long list of amenities for when Barack Obama gets sworn in next year in Washington.

“From a private jet to a jewelry shopping spree and a 24/7 personal concierge, these packages will make guests the ultimate D.C. insiders,” says Ann Peterson, general manager of the hotel.

So, what does $440,000 buy you? A four-night stay for four guests in the Shoreham Presidential Suite also includes:


  • Entry to inaugural events on Jan. 20
  • Pre-inauguration makeover
  • Photo album of the event, which is shot by a personal photographer
  • Puppy (guests’ choice of breed) upon departure

The non-refundable package must be pre-paid.— Hilary Solan
