Fodor's Expert Review Hilton Washington DC National Mall

A stay at this LEED-certified hotel puts you close to the National Mall, with spectacular river and monument views from certain rooms—all of which have floor-to-ceiling windows. Modern rooms have a D.C. touch with a subtle cherry blossom design. Guests can find a Starbucks, a restaurant, a lounge, a café, a market, a heated outdoor pool, and a fitness center on-site. With spaces that can accommodate upward of 800 guests, the hotel is also an excellent spot for large meetings or weddings. The Smithsonian museums and several government agencies (USDA, USPS, and DOT) are within a few blocks, and the Metro station is on the lower level.
