Frommer's Highly Recommended

With its room count of 888, the Grand Hyatt is the largest hotel near the convention center, 3 blocks away. The hotel lies between Capitol Hill and the White House, 2 blocks from the Verizon Center. Guest rooms feature a contemporary look of dark hardwood furniture and hues of brown and gold. Every guest room has a "Grand Bed," a 13-inch-thick pillow-top mattress, triple-sheeted and covered with a fluffy white duvet instead of a bedspread. The Regency Club (12th) floor is the VIP level; guests here pay an extra $60 for premium services, including access to the fitness and health club and to the 12th-floor lounge, where food and beverages are available. The fitness club is state-of-the-art, offering cardio and weight equipment; spa treatment rooms; Pilates, yoga, and jazzercise classes; and massages. With total fitness in mind, this hotel is entirely smoke free, including its guest rooms. Facilities: 4 restaurants (bistro, traditional American, contemporary American, deli); 3 bars; Starbucks; health club, lap pool, steam and sauna rooms, aerobics, and spa services (hotel guests pay $10 per room per day for club use); concierge; business center; room service (6am-1am); in-room and health-club massage; same-day dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms; 26 rooms for those w/limited mobility, some w/roll-in showers.
