The handsome and large guest rooms and suites are colonial-inspired, but all have a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee-maker. Some have complete kitchens. The Kennedy Center is nearby.

This hotel opened in 1961 at the height of the Kennedy administration and the interest in Georgetown glamour, and it has been a fixture ever since. The rooms are large and decorated with style. The Executive Rooms have a sitting area large enough for a meeting, and all rooms have high-speed Internet access.

One of two similar hotels under the same management, Georgetown Suites offers a range of lodging possibilities, all of which have a separate sitting area and a kitchen.

The location is superb and the concierge offers full information on local sports, theaters, and events, and can arrange to have a rental bicycle delivered. The sports bar is a popular meeting place, and the business center even offers desktop publishing.

This distinguished hotel is recently renovated. The guest rooms offer a desk with a modem connection and voice mail, and cable TV with in-room movies. Fourteen meeting rooms are available with teleconferencing and a multi-lingual staff. Pets are welcome.

Constructed on the sites of the homes of John Hay and Henry Adams, this elegant hotel has carried on the tradition of the finest hospitality. The recent restoration is a triumph.

The outside is festooned with gargoyles, and the interior boasts original stained glass. Four-poster beds furnish some rooms.

Outside the city center, located directly at the Ballston Metro Center. Suburban shopping and activities are convenient by car from here.

The garden setting is lovely, and the elevated location gives a good view of the skyline. Both the layout and size of this complex create a resort atmosphere, while staff and facilities offer every amenity. The Olympic-sized pool is an attraction in the summer.

Outdoor rooftop pool with a view, kids eat free, one block from the Air and Space Museum – this combination is hard to beat. The on-site deli provides quick meals and snacks, and there are guest laundry facilities.
