The Deco-inspired lobby and lounge are stunners while the rooms themselves are chic and modern yet cozy. What else could you ask for? The hotel restaurant, Jardenea, is pricey but very good, particularly if you’re looking for a romantic dinner. If you prefer, head to one of the myriad nearby dining options instead, offering delicious food at every prince range. And, while the hotel is situated slightly west of downtown, it’s a breezy walk to the heart of Georgetown, George Washington University and Rock Creek Park, which runs through the city from north to south.
Time Out tip: One of the city’s few Trader Joe’s locations sits one block away, so stock up on picnic supplies and head to Rock Creek or the banks of the Potomac River for lunch one day.
