Find a Hotel in Washington D C

Washington, DC offers tourists not only a plethora of American history and governmental monuments, but a powerful emerging restaurant scene, as well as a variety of museums, parks and exhilarating nightlife hotspots. With a mix of people so eclectic and diverse, the worldly intelligence seems to just bubble over in the streets. It's hard not to consider DC one of the true great cosmopolitan cities of the United States.

With the number of sites and museums seeming to outnumber the people, there are a few places to hit up that might not be on all the typical must-see-in-DC lists. The International Spy Museum is like peering into James Bond's toy chest. This fascinating museum highlights high-tech gadgetry, notorious spy cases and gives visitors complicated mysteries to solve. The National Zoological Park, known as the DC Zoo, is one of the nation's most visited zoos which includes an extensive panda habitat and live gorilla cams. For a spicy bite to each, stop by the Bombay Club - one of the city's top Indian restaurants, or have a quick burger at Five Guys, a fast food chain that started in DC.

Whether you want a hotel in Washington, DC that is close to the museums and sites in the East End, or want to be just outside of all the bustle in glitzy Georgetown, picking your stay in DC is all about location. Luckily, the public transportation (the Metro) is one of the best in the country, so whether you stay at the budget-friendly Henley Park Hotel downtown, or the 5-star Park Hyatt in Dupont Circle, it's a breeze to get around. For a mid-priced stay, try the Omni Shoreham Hotel above Rock Creek Park. If all else fails, check out the Watergate Hotel to be close to a slice of history.
