January 17, 2017 11:35 a.m. | by\u00a0Kari Paul<\/a>\u00a0| MarketWatch<\/p>\n If you\u2019re planning on attending the presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 20, finding a place to spend the night could cause some damage to your bank account \u2014 even if you aren\u2019t staying at the Trump International Hotel.<\/p>\n Prices of hotel rooms in Washington, D.C., are 927% higher than usual for the week of the ceremony, according travel website Trivago, at an average of $2,071 per night for a standard double room. Barring major events like Inauguration Day, the usual rate for a room of that type in the city tends to hover around $200 in January, at $215 in 2013, $204 in 2014, $186 in 2015, and $204 in 2016, according to Trivago.<\/p>\n Surrounding inauguration week, there is always an \u201cuptick in hotel demand, regardless of the party that wins,\u201d said Kristin Lamoureux, associate dean of the Jonathan M. Tisch Center for Hospitality and Tourism at New York University.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
