The Ritz-Carlton and SHOWTIME are reimagining the iconic concept of presidential suites in celebration of THE FIRST LADY. Beginning in April, select Ritz-Carlton properties will feature presidential suites reimagined as The First Lady Suites, offering members of the public a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the worlds of the First Ladies portrayed in the series.

The First Lady Suites will evoke the FDR era at The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park; the Obama era at The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago; the Ford era at The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles; and the eras of all three at The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C., and will include set pieces and props from the production set of THE FIRST LADY.

Props from THE FIRST LADY will include a bespoke replica of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s wheelchair and a selection of press microphones. In addition, the hotel will display elegant period costumes worn by the actors in the series and offer First Lady- themed beverages and cocktails in its bars and restaurants.
