With the upcoming election creating an exhausting 24/7 news cycle, many Americans are looking for respite from the rhetoric and a travel trend has emerged— luxury hotels offering election-themed travel packages that include presidential pampering without the politics.
From private boat charters and personal butlers to on-demand designer duds, hotels from Dallas and DC to Florida and the Caribbean are offering a haute hiatus from the nonstop campaign coverage. Package details for six hotels as well as links to images are included below my signature.
