Washington, D.C., has never had a shortage of excellent hotels, jam-packed with history. Rich stories practically teem
from the walls at the likes of the Hay-Adams, Willard InterContinental, and the Watergate (yes, that Watergate). But for
years, properties like these, with their plush furnishings and high-profile guests, were the only game in town. Not so
anymore. Now, thanks to some pioneering boutique hotels and some hip, design-forward additions, D.C.’s hotel scene is
more befitting of the national capital, with a diversity that echoes the city itself.
Where to stay in the nation's capital.

Kimpton has no shortage of D.C. properties, but Mason & Rook in the city's downtown earns bragging rights as our
favorite. The vibe is decidedly distinguished, like the digs of a funky but well-bred beau: Walk in to the lobby, and you’re
hit with a full-frontal bookshelf, set against an inlaid wood wall and accompanied by soft, sturdy woolen armchairs,
perfect for reading the Sunday paper. With a sleek residential feel (it was formerly an apartment building), Mason &
Rook’s 178 guest rooms are larger than many other options in town. Popular dining and drinking spots on-wite round
out the offerings—and explain why you're just as likely to rub elbows with a local as an out-of-towner when you sit
down for a drink or a bite.

It is said that Thomas Jefferson’s time in France left him with an abiding appreciation for the finer things in life. If so, he
would be very happy at The Jefferson, four blocks north of his old White House digs. This elegant, historic hotel is on the
smaller side for D.C., with just 99 rooms. It might not be as famous as the Hay-Adams, but it makes for a quiet retreat
that still has historic charms—think a library and an old-fashioned dumbwaiter—as well as new creature comforts.
History buffs will feel like they've stepped back in time, but fans of modern hotels won't be disappointed, either. This is a
hotel for grown-ups who prefer traditional to trendy, formal to familiar, and serene to a scene.

This D.C. landmark (it's the Watergate of Nixon-era fame—er, infamy) was vibrantly restored in 2016 and has since
become a favorite among everyone, from politicians to vacationers. The luxurious 336-room hotel is in Georgetown, so
it’s not exactly next to most of the District’s prime attractions, but don’t let that deter you. The mid-century modern icon
still keeps a few relics from its past, namely the staircase in the lobby and the indoor pool, but most interiors are fresh
and new with modern flair. Even the staff’s uniforms were designed by Mad Men costume designer and stylist Janie
Bryant. Most rooms have balconies, a rarity in D.C. Bathrooms are a combo of Zebrano marble and granite.

From the moment you're greeted by Hay-Adams' stately exterior, you know you're somewhere special. The wood-
paneled lobby reveres the hotel's historic past without feeling stuffy. It's all elegant here. It seamlessly blends Italian
Renaissance–style design with Corinthian, Doric, and Ionic columns, walnut wainscoting, and ceiling treatments with
Elizabethan, Italian, and Tudor motifs. Church View Deluxe rooms are comfy without being overdone. There's a bit of
toile and chintz, but nothing that feels like grandma's house. Think black-and-white framed art, fresh white linens, and
chic striped wallpaper. Make sure to book a Federal Suite if you're hankering for some epic views of the White House
from your private balcony. Even for a short stay don't miss Off The Record, a historic bar in the hotel's basement. A
proper cocktail bar, it feels frozen in time, which only adds to the ambience you're likely to feel when you're mere steps
from the White House.

Formerly the Monticello, the Graham underwent a complete overhaul in 2013, firmly situating it as one of Georgetown’s
buzziest boutique hotel options. The 57-room hotel has a lobby that reads more like a social living room: there’s a mix of
comfy seating and a fireplace, both of which invite you to stay for awhile. The rooms are large as-is, but half are suites.
They’re decorated in handsome hues of taupe and grey, with upmarket touches like chic patterned wallpaper and linens
from Liddell, Ireland. Bathrooms are big, too, with marble walk-in showers or luxurious soaking tubs. Even for non-

Freshly renovated in 2017, this West End hotel is a uniquely sophisticated option. While it’s not as close to main tourist
attractions as other D.C. stalwarts, it borders some of the city’s other dynamic neighborhoods, like Foggy Bottom and
Georgetown. There’s more here though than just a temporary place to lay your head: the Michelin-starred Blue Duck
Tavern and its Tea Cellar, serving more than 50 rare teas, are outright destinations.

Situated in a prime downtown location, D.C.’s longest-operating hotel has a past full of history and scandal (earning it a
spot on the National Register of Historic Places)—but it’s a great place to stay. Monica Lewinsky took up residence there
while filing her deposition and most recently, the hotel was in the news for a meeting that attorney general Jeff Sessions
says didn’t take place. Expect (and keep eyes peeled for it) to see bold-faced names when you walk through; it's a D.C.
destination in itself. While the lobby is grand and ornate, with lots of marble and gold, rooms are more understated, and
recently renovated in 2015. The bar is a great place to perch and crane your neck for famous visitors: it's an after-work
draw for the nearby K Street lobbyists and the city's movers and shakers.

This boutique hotel is fresh off a revamp that sets it apart as one of the best small hotels in the Dupont Circle
neighborhood. While the exterior lacks the charm of some of the district’s more historic options, the interior is warm

Let's not forget the 24-hour Chef's Pantry, stocked with locally made bites by Union Kitchen, plus an 'adult playground'
where you can play a round (or three) of foosball once you've sampled the local nightlife, or stretch your stuff at a
complimentary yoga session on the rooftop. Go before everyone else catches on.

A newer addition to D.C.’s luxury market, Rosewood opened right on Georgetown’s C&O Canal in 2013 and quickly
became one of the hottest places to stay in the city. Unlike competitors Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons, Rosewood offers a
truly intimate feel—there are just 49 rooms—that can’t be replicated. You’re greeted by a personal assistant in the wood-
and marble-clad lobby before being escorted to a spacious, elegant room. Rooms have vaguely Art Deco decor influences,
and lots of little luxurious touches: non-alcoholic beverages in the minibar are free, fresh flowers are placed in every
room, and luxurious Acqua di Parma toiletries in the dramatic marble baths are a perk.

In Washington, D.C.’s hip Adams Morgan neighborhood, a soaring neoclassical former church turns into a stylish
boutique hotel with buzzy restaurants from regional hot-shot chefs Spike Gjerde and Erik Bruner-Yang, and a design
aesthetic that cleverly nods to the building's ecclesiastic past while feeling totally on-point (graphic bright yellow
bedspreads, geometric brass light fixtures). In an industry town known more for tradition and history, this hotel is proof
that a younger, cooler side of D.C. that we’ve been hearing about for years—but never quite believed—truly exists.

Two blocks from the White House and the National Mall, this historic hotel from 1818 has just unveiled an $18 million
restoration. The rooms, common areas, lobby and Cafe du Parc all have new offerings (there's now private dining room
overlooking the lobby, like it did many many years ago). The refresh comes right on time: it's also the hotel’s 200th
anniversary. With a new GM and new menus at the historic Round Robin Bar that focus on famous figures who have
drank there in the past and cocktails of the Presidents, it's time to revisit this capital grand dame, and fast.

Fresh off a $13 million renovation in 2016, Four Seasons is one of D.C.’s finest hotels. Guests are welcomed into a
contemporary hotel with an astounding art collection (more than 1,500 pieces to rival even the nearby National Portrait
Gallery) and warm, but modern, lobby filled with fresh flowers. The Four Seasons may not sit squarely in the center of
the political gristmill—it's in Georgetown, about a 10-minute drive from that big white mansion—but it has plenty of
perks to compensate. Pierre-Yves Rochon designed the spaces—the decorator's deft hand has left its imprint on
everything from the stately guest rooms in the East Wing to the grand lobby and library. Fitness buffs should consider it
a destination. The three-story fitness center, equipped with a saltwater lap pool, is a huge draw.

Part of D.C.’s reimagined Wharf neighborhood, this new jewel in InterContinental’s crown aims to appeal to leisure
travelers and D.C. movers and shakers alike. The dramatic tiered lobby is a mix of stone and brass, with warm chocolate-
hued seating and modern chandeliers. Rooms are equally warm, with geometric-patterned carpets, modern dark wood
furniture, and expansive windows and balconies, many of which overlook the Potomac River. As a new build, they're
large and spacious, with modern design and amenities (someone thought out the ample counter space in the bathroom,
clean lines, and uncluttered layout). Little touches like orchids in each room, spa-style showerheads, and large executive
work desks make rooms sumptuous getaways for harried travelers. Whether you're here for business or pleasure, you'll
feel the room is well-outfitted for your needs. Enjoy those balconies overlooking the river—it's a real treat and hard to

Tucked into a cul de sac near the Tidal Basin, the Mandarin Oriental feels more remote than it is—the Mall is only a
couple long blocks north, and the newly renovated Wharf, busting out with all sorts of shops and restaurants, is pretty
much a stone’s throw. The Mandarin's grand rotunda entrance, styled after the work of John Russell Pope (a.k.a. the
Jefferson Memorial’s architect) and hung with sleek Thai silks, sets the overall tone: an elegant, East-meets-West vibe, in
tune with its surroundings. During the week, the hotel caters to a business crowd—but come the weekend, the suits file
out, and it's mostly smartly dressed families and other leisure travelers. Take advantage of Mandarin Oriental's spa
pedigree, and hit the hotel's 50-foot indoor pool, amethyst steam room, and—yes—the ice fountain.
