Important Hotel Information:

The Capital Hilton is located in downtown Washington, D.C., just two blocks from the White House and Embassy Row. The hotel has hosted every U.S. president since FDR, and the annual Gridiron Club Dinner and political roast take place in the ballroom here. If you’re planning to see the sights, hop aboard the trolley bus tour, which will pick you up in front of the hotel for a tour that includes the U.S. Capitol, the Mall, Georgetown, and Arlington National Cemetery. The hotel is also close to three Metro stations, so getting around D.C. and its suburbs is a piece of cake. The Capital Hilton has 544 guest rooms, each decorated in Federal period style with Queen Anne and Chippendale-style furniture. All guest rooms offer Internet access. If the view is important to you, check into a corner room on the 16th Street side. If you want to splurge, there are three spacious suites that feature outdoor patios. The hotel features Executive Level Accommodations, which offer separate check in and check out for discerning travelers. Guests in these accommodations will also enjoy a private lounge that serves complimentary breakfast. If you plan to stay in for the night, the Capital Hilton offers several dining options. Twigs, a casual dining room, serves American cuisine with an emphasis on seafood (this is a great area for fresh seafood!). Fran O’Brien’s, the hotel’s sports bar and steakhouse, serves lunch and dinner in a laid-back setting. If a light meal and cocktails is what you’re looking for, head to the Lobby Bar, which features low-slung, Art Deco-style furniture. The Capital Hilton is home to the Capital City Club & Spa, which is used by hotel guests and locals alike. There’s also a day spa that offers rejuvenating massages, facials and manicures.
