Washington DC weekend hotels
Planning a summer weekend in Washington DC and would like to stay at an more luxury upscale hotel with a fun atmosphere on the weekends, that will offer good weekend rates, with a pool, and centrally located to all attractions/metro. Want to the avoid the stuffy business hotels...
Any suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks....

Hi again and a pool is not required for this weekend since like "bardo1" mentioned in his post, pools in DC will be "very rare". Has anyone stayed at the St. Regis or the Westin Grand in DC?
Thanks...
Thanks...

Not stayed at either as I live here (the St. Regis is definately the more luxurious of those two).
Here are some others in much more fun neighborhoods - the first two in Dupont and the 3rd in Penn Quarter:

I've stayed at the Westin Grand a few times - I like the location because of its proximity to Georgetown. But, there are few restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The closest metro stations are: Foggy Bottom (3 blocks) and Dupont Circle (7 blocks). Check to see if there is still construction taking place right next door and avoid rooms facing 24th St. Otherwise, the hotel is pretty standard Westin. Great bathrooms, modern looking rooms.

Gail,
If good weekend rates is the prime factor of the 5 you listed, then the Westin Grand is a good choice. The walk to the fun atmoshpere in either Georgetown or Dupont is only 6-8 blocks. They even have an outdoor pool.
You would need walk to a Metro station to take you to the popular tourist sights.

We stayed at the Mayflower Hotel about 5 years ago and it's a really nice hotel, even if it doesn't have a pool. Good location as well. Might consider this one again if the rate is right. Thanks...
