This resort hotel was founded in 1962 by the International Inn hotel chain. Designed by Morris Lapidus (who has two Miami hotels to his credit), the building, conveniently located near a Metro stop, features curving hallways, graphic design features and a swimming pool. Its downtown location gives guests access to DC attractions such as the Smithsonian museums and the National Mall, but those who prefer to stay in and enjoy the resort can take advantage of its concierge, in-house bar and restaurant and stylish rooms.
This resort caters to both business clients and leisure seekers. It boasts a spa, fitness center, indoor pool and a rooftop lounge. Guests can use its shuttle service to downtown Washington, Old Town Alexandria, and Ronald Reagan National Airport. This resort hotel has 2000 rooms, including 110 suites, and offers a view of the Potomac River against which it sits. A glass atrium makes river-watching easier.
The Washington Hilton describes itself as a "contemporary urban retreat center."
