Need a break from the political craziness that has dominated your newsfeeds for the past year? We have the escape for you.Baltimore’s The Ivy Hotel, a beautiful historic mansion turned boutique hotel, and Maryland’s first and only Relais & Chateaux property, is offering a retreat for those who literally want to escape the inauguration later this week.Close in proximity to Washington DC, but far enough to be removed from the chaos, The Ivy provides a relaxing sanctuary to shut out any unwanted politics.Their new Political Detox Package is a two-night’s stay complete with pampering spa treatments (a massage and facial), removal of daily newspapers if desired, special purple (red and blue) welcome cocktails at the bar, and a whole slew of already-included amenities offered by The Ivy, including a full gourmet breakfast, afternoon high tea, black car service within city limits, 24-hour access to the Mansion bar, and a special “late night” menu available at the hotel restaurant.Rates begin at $1,500, and the package is available through January.
