Housed in a 1928 Italian Renaissance-style building on Lafayette Square, The Hay-Adams is an upscale hotel offers views of the White House and within a short walk to the Washington Monument.

Arc the Hotel

In the heart of the Foggy Bottom neighborhood, you’ll find Arc the Hotel.  Booking a stay here means that you are just blocks away from the Kennedy Center of Performing Arts, adventures in Rock Creek Park and the Potomac River, and the George Washington University Museum, which houses the Textile Museum.

WhyHotel DC Union Square

What’s appealing about WhyHotel is that it’s a newer concept that aims to blur the lines of hospitality and home. Here is where you will find your home away from home, which so happens to be in the middle of the District’s NoMa neighborhood. If food is one your main reasons for exploring Washington DC, you will be just blocks away from Union Market.
