A chic, conveniently located D.C. hotel with views of the U.S. Capitol.
The glass entrance opens into a grand lobby filled with rich red and maroon hues, dark wood and natural light. The hotel is two blocks from Union Station's shopping, dining and transportation, three blocks from the U.S. Capitol, and a 10-minute walk from the National Mall. Rooms feature trendy decor, an ergonomic workspace, Italian marble bathrooms, and views of the Capitol, the Washington skyline, or the hotel's glass atrium. Stop by the hotel's Federal City Bar to grab a drink and some tasty bar fare or head to Bistro 525 for a more formal meal.

Most Awesome Birthday Present Ever!!!
My daughter and I took a two-day jaunt to Washington, D.C. to visit the Smithsonian Museums for her 22nd birthday present. She took care of all of the logistics and found that the Washington Court Hotel met our major needs of price and location. Once we arrived, we also found that they had an outstanding staff and lovely, immaculate rooms as well. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and found that the time spent at the hotel was the perfect conclusion to our Museum adventures. We will definitely recommend this establishment to our friends, and we will stay here again when we return in the future.

We loved it!
We truly enjoyed our trip to DC and couldn't beat the stay. We rode Amtrak from NC which put us off at Union Station, 5 minutes from the hotel. We were able to walk 15 minutes to all of the Smithsonian Museums and a quick trip to the Verizon Center. Our concierge, Sam, helped us with routes and quick advice for restaurants, pubs and sports bars. The hotel staff greeted us every time we left and returned to the hotel. We would definitely book again!

Business
It was OKAY. They charged outrageous for internet. There wasn't even a fridgerator in the hotel room which was very inconvienent. Other then that, the staff was very helpful, the lobby was extremely spacious. The hotel is old, and you can EASILY tell that. The walls was very thin, I could easily hear the neighbors, but luckily they weren't obnoxious. The location was fanTASTIC! Right near the capitol building, right near the union station. There were cabs sitting out front waiting for people. The price for breakfast was steep, and overall there wasn't a lot of amenties that would keep me coming back.

Make sure you make all of your dinner reservations a head of time! Nothing like being stranded, walking in downtown DC, looking for food, and no one to take you in.

New years eve getaway
I was in the hotel for a 2 day visit for new years eve. Hotel was very little occupied and some of the upper floors I was told were in renovation. Due to the holiday it was not work going on. The room I got was at 4th floor not what I expected (with the Capitol view) but quiet, nice, clean. Location was in the proximity of the restaurant we had new years eve reservation and of the "Mall"; Capitol is within 10 minutes walking distance. This is the second time I used this hotel; everything is good just a bit pricey and hotel parking is expensive.

All parking in the area is expensive. You may want to check out the street parking around. Usually it is no charge after 10PM and Sunday is free.

Beware the hotel version of baggage fees
Stayed here in early December for 3 nights. Very convenient for business on Capitol Hill. Room was large and clean. Free coffee in the morning outside the restaurant. Breakfast buffet was a bit pricey, $18. However, my gripe is about the internet and business center fees. $10/day for internet if you have your own laptop -- $1 PER MINUTE in the business center, $10 minimum. And, because I forgot to change the copier from color to b&w, I wound up paying 75 cents per page for copies. I know these Capitol Hill hotels cater to business travelers with expense accounts, but really - a dollar a minute for internet access??? It's the hotel version of airline baggage fees.

The restaurant around the corner at the Phoenix Park Hotel is a good place for a reasonably priced meal. Art & Soul next door in the Liaison Hotel is also good, albeit more expensive.

Nice hotel - GREAT location - 5 minute walk from Union Station - avoid the Bill Goat Tavern but the Dubliner Irish Pub is excellent. Clean and neat place to relax with a friendly and helpful staff. Had a great time and would definitely use this hotel again and refer anyone. This was a weekend and might be a bit busier during the week days.

Everything was acceptable but the cost was not. Forty three dollars to park overnight and sixteen dollars for a mediocre breakfast buffet.
