"There is a glamorous side to Washington, DC, and the hotel scene of the Nation's Capital is one of the best places to find it. While you might not get to stay in the White House's Lincoln Bedroom, this town is packed with hotels that have almost as much history. Sightseeing in Washington, DC, brings you face-to-face with some of America's most emblematic architecture, from the US Capitol to the Washington Monument and the Library of Congress."
"Check in to landmarks like the 200-year-old Willard InterContinental, or grand hotels like the Hay-Adams, the Jefferson, or the infamous Watergate. If you're looking for something a bit more modern, book a stay at a hotel that is part of the city's next chapter, like a modern high-rise downtown or a sleek space overlooking the Potomac at The Wharf. If cocktail bars and dining hot spots are more of interest than museums, there are plenty of boutique hotels situated in DC's charming residential neighborhoods."
"Proximity to the National Mall and its museums and monuments is often top of mind for first-time visitors, which means a stay downtown near K Street makes the most sense. This area can however feel a bit desolate on the weekends when office workers clear out. For more of a local buzz, you might opt for a hotel in Logan Circle or near the West End and Dupont Circle, which is all an easy ride to Smithsonian institutions."
