I read it. Then re-wind. Read it again. And yes, the Mandarin Oriental has a ridiculous $200,900 package entitled "Presidential Privilege", designed for one couple to celebrate the 2009 Inauguration in obscene style.
So what does the cost of a low-end condo in DC (dope house in Texas) get you at the Mandarin?
- The power couple will be outfitted from head to toe for the Inaugural Balls by Ralph Lauren.
- Five days, four nights in the lavish Presidential Suite at Mandarin Oriental,
- A chauffer-driven, 2009 Maserati Quattroporte throughout the entire stay, with a backseat hamper of exotic snacks and chilled champagne daily
- A private, five-course dinner party and wine pairing for eight guests in CityZen specially prepared by Chef Eric Ziebold and sommelier Andrew Myers
- Vintage Veuve Clicquot Champagne and American caviar for two, served daily at dusk in the Presidential Suite's living room with a back drop of dramatic sunsets over the Jefferson Memorial, Tidal Basin and Washington Monument
- Presidential Suite's refrigerator and pantry to be filled with the couple's favorite foods and snacks
