Hotel Monaco
Washington, DC
To say there are a lot of places to stay in DC is an understatement — but you'd be hard pressed to improve on the rooms at Hotel Monaco. Ideally located in Penn Quarter, not far from the Verizon Center, the National Mall, and some of the best dining options in the city, this luxury hotel offers 183 guestrooms and three different styles of suites, all of which mix original architectural details — it's housed in the old General Post Office building — with eclectic modern furnishings, a solid restaurant/bar, a wine hour every evening in the lobby, and a host of in-room spa services if you're in need of extra pampering.
