Washington DC Luxury Hotels

The Hay Adams is a luxury boutique hotel located a 3-minute walk away from the White House and is just across the street from Lafayette Square. Other popular monuments such as the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and the National Mall are all under a 30-minute walk.

The hotel is famous for being the set for popular TV shows 'Homeland' and 'House of Cards'. It was also the temporary home for the Obama family before their move to the White house. The rooms are elegant and grand, featuring fireplaces and up close views of the White House and Lafayette Park.

The Watergate Hotel is a luxury hotel, located near the Potomac River, which the rooms look out to. The interior is avant garde with a 70s but modern flare, the large rooms have private balconies perfect for taking in the views.
