The staff were very friendly- I had a bad cold and unfortunately just went to bed after I arrived - reception offered me late check out which is just what I needed to get some rest. Was sad I didn’t have opportunity to enjoy restaurant etc but will visit again some other time hopefully!

Pendry Washington DC - The Wharf has free bikes, seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and terrace in Washington.

We loved everything about this hotel. Very nice and tasteful decor. Pleasant ambiance. Very good size room and especially the bathroom. Everything you need in the room, bathrobe, steamer for your clothes, coffee machine. Everything was super clean and a very comfortable bed. We enjoyed our stay very much and would absolutely go back when we would stay in Washington. And special thanks to Isidora for the amusing chat and extra attention to our anniversary!

Arlo Washington DC features a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, a shared lounge and terrace in Washington.

Liked: location, cleanliness, room, hotel staff helpful and kind Disliked: restaurant morning staff was sub par, and as there is no else to go to eat or drink something it has a big and not so good impact on the hotel stay.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free. This was my 6th visit, and now I visited every museum of the Smithsonian. I particularly recommend the National Gallery, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. The National Gallery has in my opinion the best painting ever made by Leonardo da Vinci, the portrait of Ginevra da Benci. This one is much better than La Jaconde in Le Louvre (and I am French...). Another Museum worth to visit for its paintings is the Phillips collection in Georgetown.
