The Body Politic packages at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Spa

Washington, D.C.
$525
Most D.C.-area hotels are booked for Jan. 20, the date of President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration, which means that if you’ve made a last-minute decision to hightail it to the capital for the celebration, the best housing option is a suburban friend’s spare bedroom. But for those who’d like a bit of pampering pre- or post-partying, consider the Liberal or Conservative spa package on the Body Politic menu at the Mandarin Oriental’s much-loved spa. The Liberal package includes an aromatherapy hot stone massage and a collagen mask facial with a cold stone lymphatic massage, while the Conservative features a traditional deep tissue massage and a firming and lifting facial. But it needn’t be said that politics should be left at the door–just pick the package that suits your body’s needs and say cheers to the end of another election cycle.
