Omni Shoreham Hotel
The Room I was fortunate to stay at was rather extra private. It had like a hidden or tucked away entrance which made it special. The Hotel is Grand with a surprisingly beautiful Entrance and Lobby. The amenities are awesome; garden, pool, spa and fitness center.

Glover Park - Georgetown
Room was clean. People were friendly. Restaurant attached is nice. Right in the middle of everything if you need to be in NW washington. Can easily find street parking, but parking is convenient if you want to pay for garage as well. I found the beds to be very firm and comfortable!
