Celebrate the inauguration with friends in the intimacy of the Georgetown hotel’s presidential suite or historical townhouses. The package includes accommodations, overnight parking for one vehicle, a catered in-room screening of the ceremony for up to six people (including equipment), an intimate “inaugural ball” in the private dining room and themed welcome and turndown amenities. There is a minimum three-night, non-refundable stay required, the package starts at $5,000 per night for the presidential suite and $4,000 per night for a townhouse. // 1050 31st St. NW, Washington, DC

The legendary hotel (pictured above) intrinsically linked to political history looks forward to welcoming guests for inauguration 2021. Guests will be able to enjoy all of the property’s offerings, including cocktails at the sleek and swanky lounge The Next Whisky Bar, refined dining at Kingbird Restaurant, restorative and relaxing treatments at Argentta Spa and workouts in the fitness center and indoor pool.

In addition, a nightly commemorative gift will be placed in each guestroom, based on a minimum three-night stay with arrival on Jan. 17 or 18; deluxe rooms start at $1,195 per night. // 1330 Maryland Ave. SW, Washington, DC
