Park Hyatt Washington

With its striking Tony Chi design, the Park Hyatt creates a feeling of effortless style and sophistication between Downtown and Georgetown.

• The flat-screen television wall that swivels between the bedroom and living room
• The gorgeous limestone bathrooms with rainfall showers
• The lovely indoor pool area with skylight
• Dinner at the hotel’s Blue Duck Tavern

Located in a residential/commercial part of West End, this eye-catching property is close to Georgetown, and about a fifteen-minute cab ride from the major museums. The 216 spacious guest rooms have a modern elegance, with sleek work desks, supremely comfortable beds, WiFi and gorgeous limestone bathrooms with rainfall showers. A clever touch: a flat-screen television that swivels between the bedroom and sitting area (it’s backed by a decorative chess board). The indoor pool with a skylight is pretty, if a bit tricky to find through several corridors and stairwells. Don’t miss the hotel’s Blue Duck Tavern, an American bistro, where chefs in the open kitchen roast seafood and meats to perfection in a wood-burning oven.

The Park Hyatt is a must for those who appreciate clean, modern design and inviting, spacious rooms with a stellar restaurant and bar downstairs within a quiet section of West End.
