The Best Luxury Hotels
Mandarin Oriental, 1330 Maryland Ave. SW, near National Mall (tel. 202/554-8588; www.mandarinoriental.com/washington): This is the capital's prettiest and most luxurious hotel. You're away from it all but still within walking distance of Smithsonian museums. Its spa and restaurant are the crème de la crème, and guest-room designs follow the principles of Feng shui to attract good fortune.
Four Seasons, 2800 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Georgetown (tel. 202/342-0444; www.fourseasons.com/washington): It's so nice to be loved, isn't it? And the Four Seasons staff make you feel that way, pampering you relentlessly and greeting you by name, remembering your likes and dislikes. Thanks to its second multimillion-dollar renovation in 3 years, hotel guest rooms are 50% larger and twice as inviting, suites are redone, and the lobby and restaurant are completely transformed.
Willard InterContinental, 1401 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Penn Quarter (tel. 202/628-9100; www.washington.interconti.com): The Willard provided a temporary home for a president or two and continues to be a major gathering spot for capital powermongers. This homegrown, but world-class, hotel has a fine restaurant, a historic bar, a spa, and a just-opened courtyard cafe. You'd be missing something if you didn't at least step inside, even if you're not staying here.
