Other features include an on-site market, an indoor pool, fitness facilities, stylish lobby, and meeting/event space.

The 222-room Georgetown Suites is a mid-range, all-suite hotel that was originally built as an apartment complex in the '80s. A great value in an otherwise pricey neighborhood, this property has large rooms with full kitchens, free breakfasts, and a fitness center.

Possibly the most stylish hotel in D.C., the 317-room W has a
tourist-friendly location and offers some of the best views in the city, particularly from its rooftop terrace bar. Highlights include three swanky bars, two restaurants, a modern fitness center, and a boutique spa. Room rates are competitive, depending on when rooms are booked, but look out for pricey extras -- fees for Wi-Fi, pets, and valet-only parking can add up fast. For a lower-priced version of the W, guests might want to consider one of the Kimpton hotels -- such as the Palomar, Hotel Rouge, or Topaz -- located in the livelier Dupont Circle neighborhood.

This 237-room upscale hotel, part of a French-owned international chain, opened in 2002 in a former office building. With its spacious rooms, stylish bistro and bar, and a decidedly European feel in the center of old downtown near Lafayette Park and the White House, it's popular with both international and domestic business travelers and families. Its setting practically around the corner from the White House can't be beat, except perhaps by the Hay-Adams. Guest rooms are stylish and equipped with modern tech like 55-inch flat-screen TVs and Bose sound systems, but most lack coffee/tea facilities. There's a well-equipped fitness center on-site, but the property lacks a spa; for that, travelers might want to check out the W or The Jefferson.

The George, a Kimpton Hotel is an upscale boutique hotel located in Washington D.C.'s Capitol Hill neighborhood, an easy walk from major attractions. The 139 rooms here all have a similar decor theme, with George Washington-inspired touches such as accent walls displaying cursive reproductions of the first president's inaugural address. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, a French bistro, a hosted wine hour, a decent fitness center, and in-room spa treatments. However, the hotel tacks on a sneaky "facilities fee" to cover upgraded Wi-Fi, free daily newspapers, and free local and long-distance calls, which some guests might consider unnecessary extras for the price. Travelers may want to compare rates at The Liaison Capitol Hill, a Joie de Vivre Hotel, which has a similar vibe and comparable amenities.

The upper-middle-range Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC Downtown is a solid choice for business travelers and tourists alike, offering attractive amenities and a handy downtown location. It's within walking distance of the White House and right across the street from a metro station. The contemporary and brightly decorated hotel features an indoor pool, full-service restaurant/bar, and a fitness center, but breakfast isn't included and the valet-only parking is expensive. Its 300 guest rooms are clean, spacious, and well equipped with microwaves, mini-fridges, Keurig coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi -- though street noise can be an issue in some rooms. Rates are reasonable but there are several comparable hotels nearby, so it pays to shop around. The nearby Hamilton Crowne Plaza, Washington, D.C. is worth considering, but it doesn't have a pool.

Its central location between the downtown attractions and the bars and restaurants of Dupont Circle, solid fitness center, free breakfast buffets, and even free dinners (Monday through Wednesday) makes the Residence Inn a fine pick for the price. But its rooms -- all kitchen-equipped studios and one-bedroom suites -- are older and more worn than the rooms at competing hotels.
