A D.C. phenom for its innovative, modern design when it opened in 1962, the Washington Plaza drew the likes of the Kennedys and other "Who's Who" in society. Today, the nine-story Washington Plaza remains one of the area's only hotels with resort-like accommodations, with its landscaped outdoor pool, fitness center, covered parking and same- day valet service. During the summers, famished guests can beat the munchies by barbecuing by the pool. Throughout the year, they can dig into eclectic and creative American chow at the hotel's Number Ten Thomas. This being Washington, hotel's patrons can venture out to find eateries ranging from inexpensive to sublime-and serving everything from burgers to steak to sushi.
The Washington Plaza's 340 guestrooms are festooned with retro-style décor accentuated with striped carpets, colorful Presidential art and color- splashed bathroom tiles. The guestrooms include coffeemakers, dial-up Internet access and pay movies.
The Washington Plaza also features an entire floor devoted to masters and their pets. What's more, people flying into Washington are five miles and 27 miles respectively from Reagan National and Dulles International airports. Reviewers have called this hotel one of central Washington's best values. |
