Dining

international lounge
The keynote of the international is the feeling of grown-up glamour and sophistication that reigned throughout the Kennedy years - the golden age of All-American-Style; full of promise and ambition. This is not Austin Powers or Warhol Pop. Think Babe Paley; think dressed up, crisp clothed jet-setters and kings of commerce enjoying a classic champagne cocktail, nibbling an elegant snack, while engaging in intense flirtation and conversation into the wee hours - after all one can always stay over.
No. 10 Thomas
No. 10 Thomas offers Contemporary American cuisine and the perfect ambience for any meal. Watch the "Early birds" at Logan Circle in the morning, sunbathers taking a dip in our pool after lunch, or the sunset over National City Christian Church in the evening. Sip a Glass of Champagne or enjoy a cocktail by candle light on our Poolside terrace and make a wish while counting the shooting stars over Washington D.C.

Nice place at affordable rate

Room was nice with direct view of the swimming pool. The hotel was situated at the Thomas circle and Mcpherson metro station was close-by. The parking charge (25$ per night) was a bit on the higher side though.

Few days in Washington

Very well positioned, near White House, Washington Monument, important boutiques. I had a lovely view of the pool, but the only thing I didn't enjoy, was that at each evening at 9pm the pool closes...

Father Daughter Bonding

This was my daughter's (11yr old) first plane trip. We stayed at the Washington Plaza and we could not ask for anything better. The location is pretty central to everything. Granted there was plenty of walking to do, but it was no problem. The hotel and staff were very nice. Our room was perfect, and we even had a balcony. The breakfast buffet could be a little cheaper ($17) a piece, but that's my only complaint. Highly recommended!!!

GREAT PLACE TO STAY

This hotel is close to almost all of the attractions. You are within 2 miles of all of them. If you don't want to walk , take a cab. it's the easiest way to get around DC. The staff at the hotel are all very friendly. The room was big, very clean and the beds are very comfortable with great pillows. I would stay here again anytime.

Has a pool!!!

I was leery of staying at the Washington Plaza Hotel: a friend had warned me of a bedbug issue the hotel had a couple years ago. That appears to have been taken care of. I was also concerned because of other reviews, in which people complained about size of the rooms and noise. The rooms are smaller than what many suburban Americans will be used to; but they are quite standard for rooms in a large urban areas, such as DC, NYC, SF, etc. The noise is a different issue: if one's room faces Thomas Circle, one will get noise--this is a big, traffic-filled, noisy city. But the AC unit and some earplugs will soon cancel that all out. I couldn't hear the people in the rooms next door, except when their baby cried in the morning. Again, I think ear plugs will take care of it. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the Dupont Circle and U Street corridor. So, it is great for things to do in the evening. It's not a far walk from the White House and the Mall either. The best thing about this hotel is the pool though. After a long, hot day, walking throughout the streets, museums, and monuments of DC, it was so nice to go and take a dip in the pool, and relax poolside. In fact, my partner and I stayed at a much pricier boutique hotel on Dupont Circle for a couple of nights and much preferred this one, even if it did lack a fitness room, because of the pool.

17th ST north of Massachusetts AVE has a lot of gay-friendly restaurants and bars; the U-Street Corridor has many nice, cheap restaurants and an interesting vibe.
