Opened in 2013 in the heart of Georgetown, the Rosewood has quickly become one of Washington’s hottest luxury hotels. With just 49 rooms, this property offers a level of boutique intimacy that’s lacking at nearby competitors like the Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton. Highlights include a scenic rooftop with an infinity pool, upscale rooms with free non-alcoholic drinks, and a classy bar and restaurant. Prices are steep, but you get what you pay for.

Located four blocks from Dupont Circle and almost as close to D.C.'s business district, The Darcy Washington DC is especially popular among business travelers for its clean, updated rooms, well-equipped fitness center, surprisingly innovative restaurant, free Wi-Fi in the lobby, and solid business center.

Despite its modest 1940s-era exterior, the Dupont Circle Hotel is in the vanguard of modern design among D.C. hotels after a yearlong, top-to-bottom renovation. Handsome, well-appointed rooms are the real highlight, but solid service, a popular local bar scene, excellent Cafe Dupont, and a prime Dupont Circle location complete the substance behind its style.

The Westin Georgetown is an upscale, if generic, business hotel in D.C.'s West End, a short walk from Georgetown. The 267 rooms and suites have neutral decor typical of chain hotels, plus large bathrooms with walk-in rainfall showers and separate tubs. Amenities include a fitness center, a small seasonal lap pool, and a good array of business facilities including meeting rooms and a business center. It's also a decent choice for families, with a kids' club and children's menus at the French-inspired restaurant. Dog owners can bring their pets free of charge and count on dog beds, water bowls, and even canine treats. While The Westin offers plenty for its target audience, travelers may also want to consider the Washington Marriott Georgetown two blocks away, which has similar features (and generally lower prices).

Hyatt Place Washington DC / National Mall is a contemporary property with a prime location just a five-minute walk from the National Mall. The location is hard to beat, attracting families on vacation and business tourists alike. Sure, this three-and-a-half-pearl hotel features a similar kind of contemporary design to that of most Hyatt Places, but many guests look past that in favor of an outdoor saltwater pool, rooftop bar with great city views, and a free hot breakfast (even though it can get crowded during this time). Rooms are spacious, but may be subjected to some noise from a nearby fire station. Travelers can have a similar stay at the nearby Holiday Inn Washington Capitol, but with the added benefits of a bistro, a grill, and a Starbucks.

Taft Bridge Inn is a lovely, 12-room bed-and-breakfast just north of Dupont Circle. This turn-of-the-century Georgian mansion only has basic amenities and small rooms, but charming decor and a peaceful atmosphere are the main draws. Guests should also consider The Normandy Hotel, just up the street, which has more in-room amenities (but no free breakfast).

Many kinds of travelers appreciate the 195 modern suite-like accommodations with kitchens at the three-pearl Homewood Suites by Hilton Washington DC Convention Center. However, the location, a five-minute walk from Walter E. Washington Convention Center, appeals to mostly business travelers. It's about a 25-minute walk to the White House. Families like the hotel for the free hot and cold breakfast and free evening reception Monday through Thursday. There’s no pool on-site, just a modern 24-hour Precor gym and coin-operated 24-hour guest laundry. The nearby Hampton Inn Washington, DC - Convention Center is a good alternative, for though it lacks suites, it does have an indoor pool and hot tub.

Tucked away in a leafy residential neighborhood near the National Zoo, D.C.'s biggest hotel is a blur of conventioneers -- huge meetings are its bread and butter. The Washington Marriott Wardman has lovely grounds, a decent fitness center, and pleasant common areas; but in this price range, leisure travelers can usually do better than its run-of-the-mill chain rooms and (somewhat) out-of-the-way location.
