Frommer's Review

Until the D.C. Convention Center's on-site, 1,500-room hotel opens (probably not until 2009), the Grand Hyatt is the largest hotel near the convention center.

The Grand Hyatt has a lot to offer besides its room count of 888. The vast lobby is in an atrium 12 stories high and enclosed by a glass, mansard-style roof. A baby grand piano floats on its own island in the 7,000-square-foot "lagoon"; waterfalls, catwalks, 22-foot-high trees, and an array of bars and restaurants on the periphery should keep you entertained. But if you get bored, head to the nearby nightspots and restaurants, or hop on the Metro, to which the Hyatt has direct access. The hotel lies between Capitol Hill and the White House, 2 blocks from the Verizon Center, and about 3 blocks from the new D.C. Convention Center, at 801 Mount Vernon Place NW.

Guest rooms feature a contemporary look of dark, hardwood furniture and hues of blue 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, where guests 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. All hotel rooms are equipped for high-speed wireless Internet access. 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, from public areas to all of its guest rooms. The Grand Hyatt honors a "Guaranteed room type on arrival" policy, which simply guarantees that you'll have a room with the specific kind of bed(s) (king, queen, or two doubles) you requested when you booked your reservation. Always ask about seasonal and special offers, and check the website for the best deals.

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 $14, 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.
