Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Pulitzer

Built squarely over the metro's central hub and within walking distance of everything in town, this breezy clubhouse-hotel could not be better situated. The lobby is intimate and relaxing, with white leather sofa suites and huge vases of fresh-cut flowers; the library at the back leads to a pleasant little tree-shaded patio where breakfast is served (weather permitting). Rooms feel both sunny and substantial, with touches of leather, hardwood floors, and interesting artwork. Bathrooms have big picture-frame mirrors, robes, and slippers. The rooftop terrace has live music or a DJ weekend nights from 6 pm to midnight.
