George Hotel

This is a good choice if you want to stay closer to Union Station and walking distance to Capitol Hill or the Library of Congress. The George Hotel has a fashionable atmosphere with artsy posters of historical American characters, vibrant color schemes and a quirky horse-lamp in the entrance lobby. The in-house French bistro is quite convenient for all day meals, and when the weather is nice, we recommend sitting outside. The accommodation is unpretentiously comfortable, with stylish wallpaper and striped carpets, but standard rooms are small, so be sure to request a larger bed size for your convenience. The hotel draws business executives and often hosts conferences, so take note of the events calendar should this be an issue for you. The cost to benefit ratio is very good.
