When you are looking for a place to stay in Washington DC there are a number of factors to consider, but the main one is the location. The most popular Washington DC hotels tend to be located close to both the main tourist attractions and the centers of government. These do tend to be a lot more expensive than the hotels on the outskirts of Washington DC, although in a city like this, it is important to be close to the things that you want to see.

Because many of the top Washington DC Hotels have been designed with the need to appeal to the very highest levels of government representative, they do have fantastic facilities, and many of them offer little extras such as free internet access in order to make the difference between them and their rivals.

Perhaps the best known of all the Washington hotels is the famous Watergate Hotel. While this particular property is probably best known for the political scandal that unfolded there in the 1970s and the downfall of Richard Nixon that followed it, it remains one of the top hotels in the city, and offers excellent quality of accommodation close to all the main sights in the city, as well as being well located for any business trips to the city that you may need to undertake during your stay.

As well as the many luxury hotels in Washington that are primarily aimed at the business travel market, there are also plenty of great value tourist class properties to choose from in the center. A number of excellent hotels for families are located within easy reach of the Smithsonian, and there are many apartment style hotels in Washington available for people in the city for a longer period who would prefer the comfort of their own facilities.
