Hotel Washington

Hotel Washington is a hotel in Washington, DC, located at 515 15th St NW. It holds a 4.40 rating based on customer reviews. Iconic DC since 1917, the hotel is part of the capital's heartbeat and a stopping point for world leaders, dignitaries, entrepreneurs, and elevated thinkers. Constructed in 1917, Hotel Washington was designed in the Italian Renaissance Revival style by Thomas Hastings, one of the leading architects of the early twentieth century. In 1968, the District of Columbia officially designated the hotel as a historic property, worthy of recognition and protection for their contribution to DC's cultural heritage.

The design of the hotel is a treasure trove of hidden meanings. The lobby arches represent interest groups commonly lobbied for in the Nation's capital, while the constellations that dot the elevators represent the skies as seen on important dates in US history, from July 4, 1776 to January 20, 2009's presidential inauguration. Homages to L'Enfant's design for the city can be spotted throughout the lobby, while the spiral staircase chandeliers and elevators are original to the hotel's opening in 1917. Hotel Washington has long been a destination for the city's movers and shakers and to those in the know from Hollywood and beyond. When Elvis Presley landed in DC ahead of his famous photo-op with Richard Nixon, he settled into rooms 505, 506, and 507. From John Wayne and other notable figures, the hotel has hosted many iconic guests.

The hotel offers a range of amenities and experiences. The 11th-floor rooftop bar, VUE, offers stunning views of DC, with cocktails named after the movers and shakers who have visited the hotel. Fireclay, a downtown destination for seasonal ingredients and global flavors prepared over an open fire, serves craft cocktails that Modern Luxury deemed as "the best sip in DC this winter." The Spa at Hotel Washington offers a full menu of massages, facials, body treatments, nail and waxing services. Every room and suite at Hotel Washington was designed to be an oasis of relaxation in the heart of the city, with monumental views to match. The hotel also features creative touches such as floor-to-ceiling murals and custom headboards.

Hotel Washington partners with the irreverent artist Amit Greenberg to create a series of artistic expressions that capture the unique wit of the city. The hotel offers various promotions, including a complimentary third night when booking select rooms and suites in the summer and winter, and up to 20% off best available rates for stays of four or more nights.
