The deal
Now is the time to capitalize on hotel savings in this all-American town! We found a threesome of fantastic hotel bargains in D.C. valid for January stays, for every budget and all easy on your pockets. Stay at a luxury downtown hotel for $189/night; pay only $138 for an upscale overnight a stone’s throw from Capitol Hill; or book a steal of a night at a well-located budget hotel – just $66!
Exclusive Fairmont Washington D.C. for $189/nt
Right on the border of historic Georgetown and downtown D.C., this smart residential retreat comes with a set of elegant features including a light-flooded lobby and a lovingly tended central garden courtyard. Frommer’s claims, “Contemporary and traditional meet at this stylish hotel”. Spacious guestrooms come with a full spectrum of amenities; the stellar Juniper Restaurant specializes in mid-Atlantic fare; and one of America’s top-rated fitness centers on site offers a host of spa services. Regular rates start at a whopping $270/night but thanks to Expedia you’ll pay just $189!
Reduced stay at Washington Court Hotel for $138/nt
This deluxe D.C. overnight has an enviable address, just three blocks north of Capitol Hill. Fodor’s writes, “Terraced marble stairs lead to a contemporary atrium lobby with a skylight, waterfall, and glass elevator – you may also appreciate the inlaid wood and stained glass that are part of the hotel's original art deco elements.” Each unit comes with city or atrium vistas, tasteful faux-antique furniture and marble bathrooms. You’d normally pay upward of $250 for an overnight here but Expedia offers discounted rates of just $138.
Save big at President Inn: only $66/night
For a bargain stay within the city limits, look no further than this Hotels.com deal. At just $66, it will get you a low-priced night at President Inn, just two miles from Capitol Hill and less than a mile from National Arboretum. Despite the name, you can’t count on presidential frills at this two-star property, but you will enjoy perfectly comfortable accommodation in a simple standard-style room. But this hotel is really about location! At this incredible price, you can hardly pay for dinner in downtown D.C., let alone a comfortable place to stay.
