We spent just one night here, but I wish it was more! This hotel was beautiful and had a heap of history. Despite its age, it was wonderfully refurbed and so well appointed. The room was huge, the bed comfortable and the bathroom was stunning. The shower was huge and glorious. I loved the location as well, it was easy to walk to some major monuments and museums. It was the perfect spot for our quick trip. We tried to have breakfast, but hadn't thought about the fact it was a Saturday during the Christmas holidays, so it was really busy and we didn't have time. So if you're there on a weekend, go to breakfast early! I can also highly recommend The Hamilton restaurant that was nearby. ALSO, if you want to do the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, be sure to 'book' your tickets well in advanced. While they are free, their popularity is off the chart so they ticket it.

The room was very spacious and well equipped. All the equipment were brand new and worked perfectly and bedding was very comfortable. Not to mention, the room was properly kept clean by the non-intrusive and efficient cleaning service. The restaurant and bars (including the roof-top bar in summer) offered qualitative, tasty and varied cuisine regardless the time of the day (breakfast, lunch or dinner). The hotel facilities are well maintained and the service is proactive. The location is also very convenient: 15min walk from the National Mall or the White House. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at Conrad Washington and I would definitely consider including this hotel in my future travel plan in D.C. I would really recommend it for either business or leisure travelers who are looking for a nice place to stay in Washington D.C.

    All the museums are wonderful and free.

    All the museums are wonderful and free. The postal and African American were amazing. Indian and Gallery of Art, too. Best in two hour bursts then grab a bite there or nearby. Use Ubers or public trans. Little parking. Weekdays less crowded.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free. This was my 6th visit, and now I visited every museum of the Smithsonian. I particularly recommend the National Gallery, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. The National Gallery has in my opinion the best painting ever made by Leonardo da Vinci, the portrait of Ginevra da Benci. This one is much better than La Jaconde in Le Louvre (and I am French...). Another Museum worth to visit for its paintings is the Phillips collection in Georgetown.
