Travel Tuesday: Washington, DC

Our trip to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts yesterday brought us to Washington DC. I can't imagine there was a room to be had this weekend, but if you could squeeze yourself into our nation's capitol this weekend, here is a sampling of some beautiful places you might consider visiting:

Hotel George





The Hotel Helix










The Hay Adams









Willard Intercontinental Hotel










The Watergate Hotel - arguably Washington, D.C.'s most famous hotel is currently undergoing extensive renovations and sweeping for the odd listening device and will not be accepting guests until some time in 2009.



Blair House - the worlds most exclusive hotel. The invitation must come from the worlds most exclusive home. The White House's guest house for past and future US Presidents, world leaders and other dignitaries.





C-Span hosted a one hour special this past weekend on Blair house, which you can view here.

Thanks for all the awesome pictures! I really like looking through them. This blog is going on my reading list ...

The first two hotels you listed are Kimpton Hotels. I stumbled upon the brand a few years ago and found that every hotel of theirs has a very distinct decor. We've been so delighted by the interiors (and the fact that they are all pet friendly) that we only stay at them these days.

Thanks for the tour! Between this and watching the Inagural all day it makes me want to head back for a visit. I was only there once quickly. So much to see.

Of course as a professional organize I loved the shots of the moving boxes being loaded into the White House. Would have loved to see all that was going on inside!
