Frommer's Review

This sprawling hotel, built in 1965, occupies 7 acres and calls itself a "resort" -- mostly on the basis of having landscaped gardens, tennis courts, and an Olympic-style pool on its premises (unusual amenities for a D.C. hotel). From the property, you're within an easy stroll of embassies, great restaurants, museums, and the charming neighborhoods of Adams-Morgan, Woodley Park, and Dupont Circle.

The Hilton caters to corporate groups, some with families in tow (during the summer, the reception desk gives families a complimentary gift and lends them board games -- ask for the "Vacation Station" perk), and is accustomed to coordinating meetings for thousands of attendees. Its vast conference facilities include one of the largest hotel ballrooms on the East Coast (it accommodates nearly 4,000). By contrast, guest rooms are on the small side. In such a huge hotel, renovations are ongoing; a recent alteration installed elegant dark wood furnishings in every room and placed new pillow-top mattresses on every bed. From the fifth floor up, poolside, you'll have panoramic views of Washington.

The designated concierge-level rooms usually go for about $30 more than the standard room rate. The hotel has 82 suites, in all kinds of configurations, from the junior executive (in which parlor and bedroom are combined) to the huge Presidential Suite. The hotel's health club has been thoroughly renovated and expanded, and now offers extensive spa services.

Facilities: 2 restaurants (both American); deli; 2 bars (a pub, and lobby bar occasionally featuring a pianist); Olympic-style heated outdoor pool; 3 lighted tennis courts; extensive health-club facilities; concierge; transportation/sightseeing desk; comprehensive business center; lobby shops; room service (until 2am); same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms; 28 rooms for those w/limited mobility, some w/roll-in showers.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
