The Hay-Adams is pleased to announce that guests can now purchase the
hotel’s privately commissioned collection of six acrylic drink coasters
depicting some of Washington’s highest profile political figures. The
set is presented in a handsome red leather holder, and is priced at $65
per set excluding taxes and shipping. One can enjoy placing their
beverage upon notables including
President Barrack Obama with
President George W. Bush, President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike
Pence, Secretary Hillary Clinton, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, and
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi with Senator Chuck Schumer.
The coasters are the artistic handiwork of Pulitzer Prize winning
cartoonists Matt Wuerker and Ann Telnaes, along with notable editorial
cartoonist Kevin “KAL” Kallaugher.
“This coaster set was designed as a guestroom amenity for the 2017
Presidential Inaugural and based on the wonderful responses we received,
we have added it to our minibar as a keepsake amenity for guests to
purchase, as well as offering them through our concierge desk to special
order,” states Vice President & General Manager Hans Bruland.
The Hay-Adams famous watering hole, Off The Record, Washington’s
“place to be seen but not heard”, also features political coasters and
has commissioned more than 20 collectable versions to date for guests to
enjoy while patronizing the bar. The version presented in hotel’s bar
is a complimentary paper product, and is also highly collectible.
The
coasters mirror the expansive collection of political cartoons of
leading politicians and Washington newsmakers that decorate the walls of
Off The Record. Here the artwork on display, acquired by the Library of
Congress, is part of a vast private portfolio of The Art Wood
Collection of Caricature and Cartoons, which took 60 years for Arthur
Wood to amass.
The Hay-Adams is located at
800 16th Street
NW, Washington DC, 20006,
