Washington Hilton

This sprawling hotel, built in 1965, occupies 5 1/2 acres. A $140-million renovation completed in 2010 thoroughly refurbished guest rooms and added a saline-treated outdoor pool and a large outdoor courtyard with fire pits and a dining area.

The hotel's vast conference facilities make it a sure pick for big tour and business groups. Its ballroom is one of the largest on the East Coast, accommodating more than 4,000. The hotel's position halfway up a hill overlooking the city means that if you stay in a south-side guest room on the fifth floor or higher, you'll have panoramic views of the capital. Restaurants and bars are all close by.

Those with families in tow should know about the Hilton's family-friendly amenities, which include the seasonal outdoor pool and children's wading pool, the hotel's location not too far from the National Zoo, and its status as a stop on the Open Top sightseeing tour bus (tickets are sold at the hotel's tour desk). A Hertz Rental Car service and FedEx Office business center are on-site.
