New York's Mansfield Hotel designed the Relax, Road Warrior package to help take the stress out of business travel.

With suite accommodations and breakfast, the $259 per-night (midweek) package also covers something most expense accounts don't cover: an in-room massage.

But because the massage is built into the package price, a business traveler can itemize the treatment as a personal expense -- and pay less than what the treatment normally costs -- according to a spokeswoman for the hotel.
