The suites include views of many of the capital's monuments and access to a 7,300-square-foot 12th-floor terrace overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue (with the option of a heated tent for private parties).
The presidential suites will each have two 50-inch plasma TVs, as well as a 42-inch high-definition TV. Eight-seat dining tables, with access to power and data jacks in the table, will also be on hand.
