The stately, historical Churchill Hotel on Connecticut Avenue puts travelers with discerning task including, families, groups, business travelers and other vacationers close to foreign embassies and dining, with the in vogue Dupont Circle just five blocks away. Quaint restaurants, pulsating nightclubs, art galleries, fine museums, and high-end and bohemian shops surround the hotel and Dupont Circle, which also includes a Metrorail station. Guests are from 10 blocks to five miles from the National Zoo, White House and other government buildings, memorials, monuments and museums synonymous with D.C.

Thanks to its early 20th-century birth, this Beaux-Arts hotel exudes traditional charm with its English-style furnishings, Chartwell Grill and club-like bar. At the Chartwell, named after Winston Churchill's country estate, guests can dine on continental cuisine, such as steak with fries and crème caramel. They also can enjoy the hotel's small fitness center and a larger facility across the street. Corporate guests can find business services through the front desk.

Splashed with gray, green and cream, the Churchill's 144 guestrooms feature separate studies with work desks, lamps, phones and chairs. High ceilings and large windows create an open feel to the guestrooms, which also feature high-speed and wireless Internet access and pay movies.

Meanwhile, air travelers are just six miles from Reagan National Airport and 27 miles from Dulles International Airport.

The Churchill Hotel's location just above Dupont Circle puts guests close to Washington's most vibrant neighborhoods-a perfect place for lovers on romantic getaways, urban explorers, families on vacations or other leisure travelers. Corporate guests especially like the guestrooms and separate studies.
