Overview
Washington DC is the political, historical, and cultural heart of the United States — the Smithsonian's free museums, iconic monuments on the National Mall, and world-class dining coexist in a compact, walkable layout.
The Park Hyatt Washington DC is one of the top Category 7 Hyatt properties in the country. The Conrad Washington DC offers exceptional Hilton Honors value. All major loyalty programs are well-represented.
The Metro system is reliable, the monuments are free, and the dining scene spans James Beard Award-winning restaurants to unbeatable Ethiopian and Vietnamese food corridors. Cherry blossom spring and mild fall are the ideal windows.
