Some people are shelling out tens of thousands of dollars just to be in the nation’s capital when President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Vance take their oaths of office.
The Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC, offered a package “in commemoration of the 60th Inauguration of the President of the United States,” with a starting price of $73,500 before taxes.
Not only was the five-star luxury hotel package, whose name is synonymous with one of the biggest political scandals in American history, sold out, but it’s also non-refundable and non-cancellable.
It also does not include a ticket to Monday’s ceremony where Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States.

“Ever since Nixon infamously declared ‘I am not a thief,’ the Watergate Hotel has seen many renovations, but none that embraced its original design or its elegant clientele—until now. We’ve arrived at the latest chapter of the hotel as a luxury hotel in Washington DC,” the hotel’s website says.
