Hotels in Washington DC, United States
Top US tourist destination Washington DC is home to Congress and many significant monuments of American history. Washington DC (District of Columbia) was initially engineered from contributions of land from its neighbours Maryland and Virginia. Instructed by President George Washington, French Architect Pierre-Charles L'Enfant envisioned similarities of grandeur to palatial French Versailles. All was abandoned in 1814 however when the British took hold.
Today with its magnificent wide avenues and distinctive architecture, the city is a great tourist hot spot. Re-acquaint yourself with American heritage and culture as you are confronted by one principle monument after another. While in Washington DC a good itinerary will include visits to the Pentagon, the Roosevelt, Korean War, Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials. No visit would be complete with a visit to Capitol Hill and a trip to the infamous Vietnam Veterans Memorial as well as the White House.
Very easy to navigate, Washington DC contains several distinctive districts; Foggy Bottom (home of Watergate), Capitol Hill and Georgetown (older end of town). Staying in Washington, you may be tempted to rest from a busy day monument visiting at one of the older lodging houses Downtown or enjoying luxurious hospitality around the Dupont Circle.
