ACCOMMODATIONS

DECIDING WHERE to STAY

BECAUSE THE BEST WAY TO GET AROUND Washington is on the Metro, and because most of the major attractions are also Metro-accessible, we highly recommend a hotel within walking distance of a Metro station. Penn Quarter, which is within a stroll of perhaps two dozen major attractions and many popular restaurants, is served by a handful of stations, giving you plenty of options to come in from farther out: Crystal City, for example, has its own Metro station in between Washington National Airport and D.C. itself—cutting commute time in both directions—and is home to a bevy of name-brand hotels and an impressive restaurant strip. Be sure to check out our discussion of Washington’s neighborhoods, “Where to Go,” in Part One to help you choose a home base for your visit.

THE MOST ICONIC HOTELS IN WASHINGTON

IF YOU HAVE READ THE PREFACE TO THIS BOOK, you will have realized that while Washington itself has great history, it has been through repeated cycles of depression and redevelopment, especially in what are now some of the most popular tourist areas. So, it has fewer hotels whose legends reach back to earlier eras than do capitals of Europe. In fact, the Watergate, arguably the most famous hotel in D.C., has been shuttered for several years as one developer after another has investigated returning it to star status.

There are a few notable names, however, starting with the Willard Hotel, which faces Pennsylvania Avenue a block east of the White House. (Actually, the hotel’s roots go back to six 1816 town houses, but it underwent an extensive rehab after a 1922 fire that rousted then-Vice President Calvin Coolidge and several senators.) After two decades of neglect and a multimillion-dollar renovation by InterContinental, it’s back to its 1901 Beaux-Arts glory. Its history is impressive: Julia Ward Howe wrote the lyrics to “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” while staying there; the newly elected Lincoln lived there while awaiting inauguration; Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote the “I Have a Dream” speech there as well. Its Round Robin Bar claims to be the spot where powerful Kentucky Senator Henry Clay introduced the bourbon (as opposed to brandy) mint julep. While the hotel also claims that the term “lobbyist” came from the fact that influence peddlers lurked in its lobby hoping to buttonhole its presidential and diplomatic patrons, that’s probably apocryphal. Nevertheless, the hotel’s list of former guests, from Charles Dickens to Harry Houdini to Gypsy Rose Lee and a positive passel of presidents, is too long to reproduce.

Location, location, location … but that’s not the only reason the Obamas spent the fortnight before his inauguration at the famed Hay-Adams Hotel. Although the building does not truly incorporate the side-by-side mansions of Lincoln private secretary John Hay and author Henry Adams, the grandson and great-grandson of presidents, it was built on that White House–friendly site, and retains much of the look and elegance of that mid-19th-century era. (Clover Adams, who famously committed suicide here by drinking photographic cyanide solution, is said to haunt its halls.) Its view across Lafayette Park toward the Executive Mansion is breathtaking (very rarely, during the odd protest scuffle involving tear gas, that might be literally true). Its cocktail lounge, Off the Record, is a favorite among power drinkers and cocktail anecdote collectors alike.

And speaking of location: What is now the W Hotel was known for almost a century as the Hotel Washington, and its rooftop POV bar, with views of the White House, Washington and Lincoln Memorials, etc., has long been a classic draw, though it’s a little more expensive and young-trendies than in the old glamorous lazy summer evenings, when its one-name celebrity patrons included Marilyn and Elvis (who met secretly with President Nixon here). Still Italianate on the outside, it is ultra-mod on the inside, with brilliant jewel tones, animal prints, and a concierge service that promises “whatever you want, whenever … as long as it’s legal.” That includes the club sandwich (available through room service), which made the Travel Channel’s Adam Richman swoon.

The Mayflower, about four blocks from the White House, has long been nicknamed the “Grande Dame of Washington,” famous for the amount of gold and gilt, unsurpassed in the nation except by the Library of Congress (much of it visible in the block-long lobby promenade), and the fact that it has hosted a presidential inaugural ball every four years since Calvin Coolidge’s day. (It’s the city’s longest continually operating hotel, since 1925.) FDR rehearsed his “fear itself” speech here; Truman, who kept a room at the hotel after leaving 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, called it “the second best address in Washington.” Its Town and Country Lounge hosted FBI director J. Edgar Hoover (chicken soup and cottage cheese) and his companion Clyde Tolson at lunch for two decades; the renovated room is now called the Edgar Bar and Kitchen in his, um, honor. It’s also a magnet for scandal lovers: Clinton “aide” Monica Lewinsky and Kennedy’s mob-related mistress Judith Exner both stayed there; it was also the site of then–New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s partying with a very expensive escort in 2008, which cost him his job.

The much smaller Morrison Clark inn (undergoing renovations) began its life as two private homes, built in 1864, and served for many years as the Soldier’s, Sailor’s, Marine’s, and Airmen’s Club, a prominent First Ladies’ charity. It’s not a typical hotel—it barely has what passes for a lobby—but more like a romantic B&B with a restaurant, most alluring for those who love the original touches, such as the Shanghai tile roof, Carrara marble fireplaces, antique furniture, and more.

The Beaux-Arts Jefferson Hotel was completely renovated in 2009—uncovering a stunning lobby skylight in the process—and now salutes its namesake wine-loving president with Monticello-inspired architectural elements, such as a parquet floor and toile draperies, signed documents and artifacts, a hand-painted silk mural in the Plume restaurant of his own vineyard there, and a glass ceiling that could inspire the first woman president. But it also has technological innovations that inventor Jefferson would have loved: free international phone service, as well as Wi-Fi and daily newspaper downloads, plus 24-hour butler service.

At press time, Donald Trump was preparing to turn the gorgeously Gothic Old Post Office Pavilion into a luxury hotel, with a scheduled opening in 2016.

B&BS

ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT RATED B&BS HERE, they can be pleasant options, offering more of a “neighborhood” experience—ideally with a subway stop, which generally means dining and services nearby—and with a built-in source of information in the hosts. However, there are a few questions you should ask before making a reservation at a B&B.

unofficial TIP

If you expect to stay for an extended period, check the B&B websites; some list furnished apartments that are homier than hotel suites and in more residential areas.

Among websites with information on Washington-area B&Bs are abba.com, the site of the American Bed and Breakfast Association; bedandbreakfastdc.com; and iloveinns.com.

GETTING a GOOD DEAL on a ROOM

HOTEL PRICING IN WASHINGTON IS DRIVEN not by tourism but by business, government, and convention trade, which translates to high rack rates’ (a hotel’s published room rate). Even in the suburbs, where you might expect lower rates to be the trade-off for commuting into town, there are few bargains because, no matter how far you are from the Capitol, you are apt to be close to some agency, airport, university, or research complex. The Bethesda Marriott near Grosvenor/Strathmore, for example, is 30–40 minutes away from the Mall but stays full because it’s close to the National Institutes of Health.

unofficial TIP

Always use your friendliest voice when asking for favors, and don’t call between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., typical check-out and check-in times; the staff may be too busy to coddle you.

Nevertheless, there are a few tricks that may help you secure a better deal. Even if you are considering a chain hotel rather than an independent establishment, call the specific Washington location, not the toll-free number, which is likely to be located in some other city. While the central operator may not even be aware of local specials, the in-town reservations desk may be able to offer a few incentives. He or she will have computer access to your account if you are a member of the chain’s rewards club and is likely to want to make you welcome. Ask about specials or added benefits (if you’re really nice, you might get a massage or bottle of wine). If you are staying for several days, ask whether you might stay for any additional nights at a reduced rate or even free. Find out whether the clientele is mostly business travelers or families with children (whichever suits you better). And if you’re talking to the on-site staff, you can get more specific information about quiet rooms, good views, the nearest bar if the hotel doesn’t have its own, etc.

unofficial TIP

In addition to the quoted room rates, the District of Columbia imposes a 14.5% hotel tax (including sales tax); hotels in the suburbs, once town and state taxes are figured in, can be almost as high, so add that into your budget.

Find out how old the hotel is, how recently the rooms—and the bathrooms—have been renovated, and whether photos on the hotel’s website are up-to-date. Be sure to ask if there is any ongoing construction, either inside the hotel itself or nearby. Just because the work isn’t being done on your floor, it may start before you want to get up in the morning, and if you’re sensitive to dust or paint smells, which tend to work their way around through the elevators and ductwork, you may have trouble.

If you are driving to Washington, find out if, and for how much, the hotel provides parking; valet and overnight fees can be substantial. (A parking voucher might be another freebie to request.) If you are likely to need to ship reports or samples in or out, find out what business services the hotel provides.

If your visit to Washington coincides with a major convention or trade show, hotel rooms are likely to be scarcer and more expensive than if you can avoid the big-business traffic. Check the convention and trade-show calendar at dcconvention.com.

Look into weekend rates and corporate rates. Many hotels that cater to business travelers, who tend to come in during the week and go home on Friday, offer weekend discounts that may be 15–40% lower. Others offer corporate rates of 5–20% off-rack, and you may not have to work for a large company to qualify: just ask. Some hotels will guarantee you the discounted rate when you make your reservation; others may make the rate conditional on your providing a fax on your company’s letterhead requesting the rate, or a company credit card or business card on check-in. But requirements are generally loose.

THE INTERNET ADVANTAGE

ALTHOUGH THE PERSONAL TOUCH IS THE BEST IDEA once you get to the point of making your reservation, it’s worth understanding how the Internet affects hotel rates.

Months in advance, hotels establish rates for each day of the coming year, taking into consideration weekend versus weekday demand; holidays, major conventions, trade shows, and sporting events; and the effect of weather on occupancy. If demand is greater than forecast, the rate may rise; if demand is less than expected, the hotel will begin “nudging,” incrementally decreasing the rate for the days in question until bookings rebound to the desired level. This sort of rate manipulation isn’t new, but at Internet speed, a hotel can adjust website rates almost hourly. Consequently, major Internet travel sellers, such as Travelocity, Hotels.com, and Expedia, among others, can advertise special deals and rates almost instantaneously. Lower rates and deals are also communicated by e-mail to preferred travel agents, and sometimes directly to consumers via e-mail, print advertisements, or direct-mail promotions.

The easiest way to scout room deals is on kayak.com, which scans not only Internet sellers but also national hotel chain websites and some individual hotel websites. You can organize your search by price, location, star rating, brand, and amenities; plus, you can see detailed descriptions of each property, photos, customer reviews, and maps. Kayak provides a direct link to the lowest-price sellers.

Also consider priceline.com, where you can bid for a room—not at a specific hotel, but within a neighborhood and quality level. If your bid is accepted, you will be assigned to a hotel and your credit card charged (transactions are nonrefundable). Notification of acceptance usually takes less than an hour. Here again, it would be worthwhile to check the convention schedule; a busy time means you can’t lowball your offer. Reduce your bid for off-season periods.

Reservation services are live versions of Kayak or Priceline, so to speak, wholesalers and consolidators who deal directly with the public. When you call, you can ask for a rate quote for a particular hotel, or ask for the best available deal in the area where you prefer to stay. You can give them a maximum budget too; chances are, the service will find you something, even if it means shaving a dollar or two off its profit.

If you are coming into town for a convention or trade show, and the sponsoring agency has negotiated a special rate with area hotels for a “block” of rooms, you can use some of these same techniques to figure out whether it really is a good deal. (After all, a lot of travelers simply take for granted the block rate is a bargain, but you are part of a captive audience.) Check the rate offered on the Internet sites; if you think you can do better, book it on the Internet, call one of the (preferably local) reservation services, or try your luck with the hotel directly. Or avoid the crowd altogether; look through our guide for something that suits you better. The earlier you book, the broader your options. Just remember, stay near the Metro.

TRAVEL AGENTS AND/OR VACATION PACKAGES

FIRST, FIND OUT WHETHER YOUR TRAVEL AGENT has actually been to Washington because an agent who doesn’t know the territory may turn to a tour operator or wholesaler and then pass that package along to you. That allows the travel agent to set up your whole trip with a single phone call and still collect an 8–10% commission, but it may not be the best bargain for you.

unofficial TIP

Although online hotel “reviews” by purported guests might seem useful, it’s increasingly clear that a large number, good and bad, are bogus; be skeptical.

Here’s why: package vacations seem like win-win deals for buyers and sellers. The buyer makes one phone call to set up the whole trip: transportation, lodging, meals, tours, attraction tickets, perhaps even golf or spa services. Similarly, by settling everything in a single conversation, the seller avoids multiple sales calls, confirmations, and billing. In addition, some packagers benefit by buying airfares and hotel rooms in bulk at significant savings, bargains theoretically passed along to the buyer.

In practice, however, the seller may be the only one who benefits. Wholesalers typically work with specific airlines or chains rather than looking for deals. Many packages are padded with extras that cost the bundler next to nothing but grossly inflate the retail price, like a “loaded” new automobile. Many of the extras in the package sound enticing but won’t get used (most people overestimate how much can be crammed into a single day) or may not be as advertised (we’ve all had a “hot” hotel breakfast that wasn’t). It’s the classic question: What’s a sale worth if you don’t need the suit?

So you should present your agent with some information up front. Choose a neighborhood, and maybe a second choice, you prefer; if possible, specify a hotel. (Check our ratings in the table and our Hotel Information Chart, use the Internet sites at left, and also see the local website listings in the “Gathering Information” section of Part One.) If you see a good package advertised online or in a travel publication, follow up by calling the hotels or package operator for more information—but don’t make the reservation yourself. Even if it seems that you’re doing all the work yourself, you should still let the agent do the actual booking. He or she might still get a commission (free to you) and is more likely to know whether the deal is too good to be true. And you should always give your agent a chance to match or better the package once you have a baseline to go by.

If you are considering booking a package yourself, choose one that includes at least some features you are sure to use; you’ll pay for them all, anyway. Unless time is money in your life, spend an hour surfing and estimate what the major components of your trip—airfare, lodging, transportation, museum tickets—would actually cost. If the package cost is less, or even close, go for the convenience factor and book the package. Remember local factors: If offered a choice of rental car or transportation to and from the airport, for example, free transportation would be more useful in Washington than a car. And if at all possible, be flexible about travel time; some specials do live up to the hype, but you may have to move fast.

Don’t forget that if you have a premium credit card, you probably have a “concierge” too. These are basically unpaid travel agents (at least, not paid by you), and because the cards tend to be accepted almost everywhere these days, these agents can often scout a variety of hotels and packages, find out whether your rewards or points can be transferred to a hotel or airline, and more. They also keep track of short-term fare deals, which can save you a bundle. Again, just try to have an idea of what going rates are.

ACCOMMODATIONS: Rated and Ranked

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A ROOM

EXCEPT FOR THE IMMEDIATELY VISIBLE ISSUES—cleanliness, upkeep, decor—most travelers don’t really know what goes into a comfortable hotel room. There is, of course, a discernible standard of quality and luxury that differentiates Motel 6 from Marriott and a Residence Inn from a Ritz; but few hotel guests recognize that comfort is also a matter of engineering and design (or not until it’s too late).

The Unofficial Guide family spends a lot of time in hotels, and we’ve made quite a study of the factors that make a room a haven. So when our researchers inspect a hotel room, here are a few of the elements they weigh.

SIZE While smaller rooms may be cozy and well designed, a large and comfortably furnished room is preferable for a stay of more than about three days. Air quality matters, too, by which we mean not only central air and heat (with a controllable thermostat in the room) but also freedom from smoke, mold, and odor.

SAFETY AND SECURITY Most hotels these days have already shifted to coded or magnetic-stripe entry cards instead of traditional locks that are vulnerable to criminals with skeleton keys or picks; but we prefer doors with dead bolts, peepholes, and chain latches as well. If windows and balcony doors are not sealed, they should have locks and railings. Bathtubs should have nonskid strips; electrical outlets in bathrooms should be away from water sources. Rooms should be equipped with sprinkler systems and blinking fire alerts for hearing-impaired guests. (Note that most safety equipment is standard in better hotels and motels, as newer construction has been subject to regulation for years now, but older structures and, in some states, inns and B&Bs with a minimum number of rooms may be exempt.)

NOISE AND DARKNESS CONTROL Noise can be an issue. Newer hotels are designed so that plumbing (and televisions) are at a distance from the bed, but a lot of rooms still have doors that don’t close tight, so that bills and even newspapers can be slipped under the door. (That’s when a little hallway from the door comes in handy.) If you’re a light sleeper, ask the front desk clerk when you check in to keep you away from the elevator—and the service elevator—and away from a busy street, if possible.

It’s essential to have a dark, quiet room where you can sleep without the morning sun or night-light neon interfering. Curtains should be thick and lined, closing completely in the center and extending outside the window frames; inner sheers for daytime are a bonus.

LIGHTING Inadequate lighting is a common problem in American hotel rooms, especially over work areas and beds; table lamps on bedside tables are usually not sufficient for reading. Overhead or general lights should have switches near the door and ideally duplicate switches near the bed or in the bedside console—a set-up common in other parts of the world but only recently working its way into the United States. The term “makeup lights,” for the lighting routinely installed over sinks and vanities, is a standing joke. Unlit closets are soooo annoying; Eve once lost a favorite black jacket because it was invisible on a hook.

BATHROOM Shower and bath amenities are increasingly brand name, but there are fewer in the baskets these days; if you need a razor or shower cap, you may have to call housekeeping. (“Nobody uses shower caps anymore,” one hotel manager told Eve just after she’d limped in from the fitness center.) Beware glass shelves, which are generally unsteady, and sometimes dangerous, as well as small; it’s better to have one sink and good counter space than two sinks with a little trim. The nap and size of towels is one of those things that just may depend on the price of the room. Unhappily, the quality of toilet paper is another.

BEDDING The average quality of beds in hotels is improving, if only because of competition and advertising (eight kinds of pillows, hypo-allergenic bedding, and so on). If you’re worried about bedbugs, ask whether, and when, the room has been treated.

EXTRAS Small refrigerators are increasingly common, but be aware that newer-generation minibars automatically charge you for a drink even if you just move the can to put in your leftovers. And a room without a coffeemaker is definitely like a day without sunshine.

Finally, check out the cost of the Internet connections and, if you have kids, the gaming system. If you have to spend an hour on the phone with even the nicest computer nerd on the other side of the globe, it’s not worth it.

The single most important guideline? Find out what amenities the hotel promises, and make sure you get what you pay for.

THE HIT PARADE

WE HAVE ASSEMBLED A LIST OF WHAT WE CONSIDER the nicest rooms in town, using two different criteria. To indicate relative quality—tastefulness, upkeep, cleanliness, and size—we have graded hotels and motels by stars (see the table 45). Star ratings apply to room quality only and reflect the property’s standard accommodations. For most hotels and motels, “standard accommodation” is a room with either one king bed or two queen beds; in an all-suite property, the standard may be a one- or two-room suite. Though many hotels offer luxury rooms and special suites in addition to their standard accommodations, these are not rated in this guide. Star ratings are for rooms only, without regard to a property’s facilities or amenities.

images

images

Within the broad categories of the star rankings, we also use a numerical rating system of 0–100 to differentiate properties in the same star category. Rooms at the Four Seasons, Westin Grand, and Hotel Topaz, for instance, are all rated as images (four stars); but in the supplemental numerical ratings, the Four Seasons and the Westin Grand are rated 89 and 88, respectively, while the Hotel Topaz is rated 83. This means that within the four-star category, the Four Seasons and the Westin Grand are comparable, and that both have slightly nicer rooms than the Hotel Topaz.

The cost estimates are based on the hotel’s published rack rates for standard rooms. Each “$” represents about $50. This list does not factor in location, services, recreation, or amenities. In some instances, a suite is the same price or less than a regular hotel room.

Also remember, please, these ratings are based on samplings, not comprehensive room tours. Even with the best of intentions, we cannot inspect every room in every hotel, especially as we conduct our inspections anonymously and without the knowledge of the management. We check out several rooms selected at random and base our ratings and rankings on those rooms. Occasionally (we hope very rarely), the rooms we inspect are not representative of the entire hotel, and you might be assigned a room that is inferior or scheduled for renovation.

The key to avoiding disappointment is to snoop around in advance. Check out the hotel website before you book, remembering the photos might be of the best rooms, not all rooms. When you or your travel agent call, ask when the rooms were last renovated. If you arrive and are assigned a room that does not live up to expectations, demand to be moved. (But be polite; it works better.)

THE BEST DEALS IN WASHINGTON

TAKING BOTH QUALITY AND PRICE OF ROOMS into account, and using a mathematical formula to factor in the fractions, so to speak, we have also assembled a list of the best 30 values in Washington—that is, the biggest bang for your buck. As before, the rankings do not reflect the hotel’s location or the availability of restaurants, facilities, or amenities.

We use the hotels’ rack rates when calculating value, and if you are planning your trip in advance, this guide will help. However, because most hotels offer special rates and incentives at various times, you should look back at the techniques on getting a good deal.

Remember, these are relative ratings, not recommendations. A reader once complained that he had booked one of our top-value rooms and had been very disappointed—but the quality rating for that property was only images. A images room at $90 may have the same value rating as a images room at $200, but that does not mean the rooms will be of comparable quality. Good deal or not, a images room is still a images room.
