Hail to the Suite

At the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the mother of all bathrooms. (Pierre Kattar - washingtonpost.com)

The week of the inauguration could easily be coined the week of the fabulously rich and famous. Several of Washington's luxury hotels have set their sights on the biggest of big spenders. Cue Robin Leach: "Hey travelers, how would you like your own private jet service, butler-drawn baths and a 3,500-square-foot hotel suite? You'll be wearing the finest custom couture as you emerge at the inaugural ball in your chauffeur-driven limousine!"

The price range: $5,000-$200,500 for a four-night stay.

Now, who's ready for caviar?
