Nods to namesake George Washington are pervasive at this hotel, which is the hippest lodging on the Hill. Rooms exude a cool, creamy-white Zen and feature large bathrooms, Colonial-inspired work desks, fun presidential pop art and wallpaper adorned with Washington's cursive-written inaugural address. The handy location puts you between Union Station and the Capitol.
Service is top-notch. The on-site French bistro provides refreshment, as does the free-wine happy hour each evening. Children and pets receive beyond-the-norm treatment via the Kimpton brand's special programs. A limited number of free bicycles are also available for guests.
