Frommer's Highly Recommended

Business is booming in Washington; and this hotel is booming along with it, thanks to its clever location a short walk from both the convention center and the heart of the Penn Quarter. The hotel often sells out -- with families during extended school breaks, and with conventioneers at other times. Every suite offers a separate living room and bedroom, with a bathroom serving as the divider. Decor is fresh and upbeat, employing light woods, earth tones, and glass accents. Each living room has a pullout sofa. Common areas in the hotel are also attractive, from the glass- and wood-paneled, six-story-high atrium, to the popular Finn & Porter restaurant, in whose sunroom a stunning complimentary breakfast is served daily. The hotel hosts a nightly, complimentary cocktail reception in the two-level bar. The hotel's exercise room and pool are on the second floor, where wide windows overlook D.C.'s downtown. Facilities: Restaurant (steak, sushi, and seafood); bar; indoor pool; whirlpool; fitness center; concierge; 24-hr. business center w/free use of computers, printer, Internet access; gift shop; room service (at lunch and dinner); coin-op laundry; same-day laundry and dry cleaning; 12 rooms for those w/limited mobility, all w/roll-in showers.
