This 1960's contemporary-style downtown hotel, which was renovated in 2003, features a lobby that belies its space-age exterior. Beyond the front desks, guests will discover antique reproductions, a gas fireplace, and columns decked with gilt sconces. For dining, they can visit the hotel's Skyline Diner, which was restored recently to its originally early-1960s glory complete with brown vinyl banquettes, wooden Venetian blinds and milky-white globe chandeliers. With its American cuisine, the restaurant is popular for lunchtime crowds of leisure travelers and corporate types with business on the Hill. The golf-themed 19th Green Lounge also is popular with folks wanting to kick back and talk politics. The downtown Washington hotel also offers business services, 6,500 square feet of meeting space, pool, poolside bar and dining, and complimentary access to a health club close to the hotel.

Accommodations include 203 guestrooms featuring work areas, complimentary premium channels, reproductions of historic documents or presidential portraits, and Colonial-style décor. Guests in rooms on the downtown hotel's north side can marvel at the panoramic view of the Capitol, while southside residents can view the city and Anacostia River.

The Best Western Capitol Skyline in downtown Washington, D.C., stands close to the center of all political and tourist attractions, and restaurants where politicos gather and the real business gets done.
