Governor's Inn

Legislators, lobbyists, groupies, and Southern gentry stay at this elegantly furnished inn, just half a block north of the Old Capitol in the Adams Street Commons historic district. It's very old-school Washington, D.C. The building was once a livery stable, and part of its original architecture has been preserved, including the impressive beams. The guest rooms are distinctive, with four-poster beds, black-oak writing desks, rock-maple armoires, and antique accouterments. Of the suites, each one named for a Florida governor, one has a whirlpool tub; another has a loft bedroom with wood-burning fireplace. Complimentary continental breakfast and afternoon cocktails are served in the pine-paneled Florida Room, and a restaurant across the street provides limited room service. Hang out in the bar area and eavesdrop on amusing political banter. The staff here is superfriendly and helpful. Note that all the rooms are nonsmoking.
