Omni Shoreham Hotel

Though its size (11 acres, 836 rooms) and ample meeting space make this hotel popular among conference goers and other groups, the Shoreham is also a favorite for families, who love the hotel's access to beautiful Rock Creek Park, full of bike trails and picknicking spots; its proximity to the National Zoo just a couple of blocks away; and the hotel's seasonal outdoor pools and children's gifts at check-in. Back-of-the-house guest rooms overlook the park and beyond -- you can spot the Washington Monument from some rooms. The Shoreham's wide corridors, vaulted ceilings and archways, and arrangements of pretty sofas and armchairs in the lobby and public spaces bestow a grand, timeless air. The Shoreham rightfully boasts its status as the city's largest AAA four-diamond hotel, as well as its membership in Historic Hotels of America.

Built in 1930, the Shoreham has been the scene of inaugural balls for every president since FDR. Do you believe in ghosts? Ask about room no. 870, the haunted suite (available for $3,000 a night).
