citizenM Washington, D.C. NoMa

10/10 Excellent

"I’ll always love it here! Been here 4x and I’m coming back each time i visit Dc."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel exceeded all expectations. While the room might be a little tiny, the vibes are immaculate. From the free filtered and sparkling water on tap in the lobby, to the fun rooftop bar, to the well stocked and clean gym, I was really happy with the service and amenities offered. The location is perfect for exploring the city, 5 mins from the National Mall and 5 mins from a major Metro stop that could take you anywhere in the city. Sure there’s a quirkiness to the minimalism in the rooms and the modern decorations but it’s efficient and delightful."

The Henley Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel! The Henley Park Hotel is now my definitive go-to choice in Washington, DC. This stunning, historic Tudor building is near the Convention Center, and virtually everything about my stay was spectacular. The room was flawless and exactly as presented online. The hotel hits every detail perfectly: a massive soaking tub, plush spa robe, high-quality toiletries, and a dedicated makeup-remover cloth. The in-room Keurig has a great coffee/tea selection, and every lamp has built-in charging plugs. Staff even proactively offered to send up slippers when mine were missing. The 24-hour room service is impeccable, the Henley Classic breakfast was amazing. The property also features, The Tavern restaurant, under a skylight atrium, afternoon tea in the Wilkes Room, and the Blue Bar Lounge, alongside free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk, and a fitness center. I have only two minor critiques. My 7th-floor window lacked a view, and the only parking option is valet at $59/night. While I didn't mind the valet service, a lower-cost option for guests would be perfect. Regardless, the pros vastly outweigh the cons. From the historic charm to the modern tech and dining, it is an incredible urban retreat. I will always check for availability here first when visiting DC again."

Tempo By Hilton Washington Dc Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Anytime I visit DC this will be my go to Hotel. Very impressed with the staff. They went above and beyond to accommodate me during my 4 day stay. Excellent location, amazing gym, loved the stream iron, cleaning staff was great, just an amazing experience overall."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Washington

Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Washington is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices are typically lower. For a budget-friendly experience that allows you to fully appreciate the city's rich history and culture, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration is ideal for exploring significant landmarks, such as museums, monuments, and art galleries, as well as enjoying the natural parks and vibrant theatre scene. Visiting during these months not only offers great value for money but also gives you the opportunity to enjoy the city's exquisite flowers and delightful dining options.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Washington, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute DealsOpens in a new window sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you don't miss opportunities to save. The Smart ShoppingOpens in a new window feature in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, meaning you're more likely to see the best options available. If prices drop or rooms become available, you'll be promptly notified, helping you secure a last-minute getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to various factors, including the hotel’s location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a more attractive rate for your stay in a Washington hotel. For those interested in distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could offer a more favourable rate.
Consider your location: Opting for accommodation close to major attractions or city centres may offer added convenience, but it often comes with a higher price tag. For those seeking more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you intend to visit. You might also look into independent hotels situated further afield, which can provide a more authentic experience while being more likely to be budget-friendly.
