Wacky Presidential Election Hotel Promotions

Hotels are capitalizing on the U.S. presidential election in an unprecedented way, offering special packages and drinks for the occasion.


The unprecedented interest has also prompted the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island in Florida to offer its first ever election special—an election-night package that offers real presidential perks: a private jet, motorcade, even fireworks. (At $15,000, though, paying for it may require taxpayer dollars.)

Candidate-inspired cocktails—the “Obamarita” (Patron silver, blue curacao, fresh lime juice, and prosecco) and the “McCainade” (Jim Beam, Amaretto, lemonade, iced tea, and grenadine) offer politically charged diners a fun and playful way to support their favorite candidate.
