Between the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol, the National Mall unfolds like America's front yard, where museums offer everything from moon rocks to Monets for free.

Cherry blossoms frame the Tidal Basin each spring, creating a pink canopy that locals celebrate like visiting celebrities. Beyond monuments, areas like Adams Morgan serve Ethiopian feasts and late-night jumbo slices, while U Street's historic jazz clubs still swing nightly.

Arlo Washington DC

Arlo Washington DC

6/10 Okay
"Went to DC with our family and stayed at the Arlo (kids excited to swim in the rooftop pool). While very stylish and great location, there were some things worth pointing out: 1) the beds are very firm. My husband and I travel frequently for work, and these beds became uncomfortable by the 2nd night, 2) although the AC worked great and was quiet, the bathroom had no vent and room started to feel like air was not circulating. So, it started to smell musty and stale, and 3) sadly, the cool rooftop pool was very small - a strange mix of slightly long and narrow. Wish I loved it more! The style was awesome and the food/drinks were great."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Washington

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable period to visit Washington is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a budget-friendly getaway, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully experience the city’s significant landmarks, cultural attractions, and natural parks. During your time in Washington, you can explore a variety of historical sites, captivating museums, and vibrant theatres, as well as enjoy beautiful flower displays and delightful dining options. This timeframe offers great value for money, allowing you to immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of the capital without breaking the bank.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Washington, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. To stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a handy comparison tool available through the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities. By doing so, you'll be among the first to know if prices drop or rooms become available, increasing your chances of securing a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Washington hotel. For those in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price tends to be higher, we’ll suggest alternative dates that might be more affordable, helping you to secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying nearer to key attractions or city centres may provide convenience, but it often comes with higher expenses. For more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. You might also look into independent hotels located further afield, which can offer a more authentic and typically more affordable experience.
