Washington, DC: Getting Around & Accommodations

Getting Around:

• • Lyft, Uber or taxis to and from either airport.
  • Lyft, Uber or taxis to get around the city. No need to rent a car and pay for expensive parking.
  • Metro is the local bus and train service.

Accommodations – When staying in a city like DC with all it’s historical impact, I would only stay at hotels with a similar connection to the city’s past:

• • Hay Adams (Named after John Hay)
  • Hotel Lombardy (Gracious Hospitality & Historic Charm)
  • The Jefferson (1923 Beaux Arts building)
  • Klimpton Hotel Monoco (Housed in DC’s original Post Office)
  • The Mayflower Hotel (Fav lunch spot of J. Edgar Hoover)
  • Omni Shoreham (the Beatles stayed here)
  • Washington Marriott Wardham Park (Fav of many presidents)
  • Watergate Hotel (No description necessary)
  • The Willard (Abe Lincoln really did stay here)

Bottom line – Of course, since most historic hotels can vary in price, if you are on a budget, I would use points for whatever hotel chain you prefer or whichever hotel booking website you like (Hotels.com, Booking.com, etc.)
