The Best Hotel Restaurants in Washington D.C.
Once upon a time, most of Washington D.C.’s hotel restaurants were bland and uninspired, places to go simply so you won’t go to bed hungry. But at some point, they started getting personality. Flavors! Celebrity chefs! Designer décor! Michelin stars! Here are some of the best.
Willard InterContinental
Why it made the list
Café du Park is this legendary hotel’s main restaurant, offering outstanding French bistro fare (don’t miss the French onion soup); the patio overlooking Pennsylvania venue is popular in warmer weather.
Rosewood Washington DC
Why it made the list
You feel like you’ve entered a manor’s drawing room at the elegant Grill Room, regal in its marron, gold and white decor. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out on the tree-shaded C&O Canal, where you can dine in warmer weather. And yes, true to its name, the American-style, seasonal menu is meat heavy (though the seafood is good, too—the grilled octopus is prepared to perfection).
Park Hyatt Washington DC.
Why it made the list
The bounty of regional farmers and producers is transformed into culinary works of art through age-old cooking methods—a fact not lost on the Michelin judges, who bestowed the Blue Duck Tavern with one star. There’s a Tea Cellar, four private tables (enclosed in glass) and the city’s best apple pie. Culinary fanatics will appreciate the showpiece Molteni range in the open kitchen.
Morrison-Clark Historic Inn & Restaurant
Why it made the list
Contemporary American cuisine with regional accents is served in one of the most palatial dining rooms around: a temple of marble fireplaces, gilded mirrors, and floor-to-ceilings. No wonder the Morrison-Clark Inn Restaurant has won awards.
