Washington Hotels

As you'd expect, there are a huge number of grand hotels in Washington DC to cater to business travellers and politicians. It is always wise to reserve in advance, especially if arriving during a big conference or fair, when the city's accommodation can book out completely. Rates at the weekend can be significantly lower. Those looking for budget hotels in Washington DC should look further out from the city centre. Hostels and B&Bs can also be a good option, especially in trendy neighbourhoods like Georgetown. The city is fairly compact (when compared to New York, for example) so no matter where you stay it should be easy to get around.
