Hotel Washington

One of the best 4-star hotel in Washington.
This artsy, modern hotel is housed in a storied 1917 beaux-arts building that's a block from the White House and an 8-minute walk from the metro.
The sleek rooms feature flat-screens, Wi-Fi and minifridges, plus designer toiletries; some also offer views of DC landmarks. Suites add living rooms. Room service is available.

A trendy rooftop bar overlooks the White House, and there's a posh cocktail lounge and a chic Mediterranean restaurant. Other amenities include a spa offering massages and body treatments, plus a 24/7 fitness center.
