The Washington Court Hotel stands just three blocks north of Capitol Hill and close to historical Union Station's shops, restaurants and movie theaters. Guests at the Washington Court are close to Capital Children's Museum and other museums, U.S. Botanic Garden, National Gallery of Art, National Mall and MCI Arena. The Washington Court is about five miles from Reagan National Airport, and 30 miles and 35 miles respectively from Baltimore-Washington and Dulles international airports. Guests will get a taste of Washington on Saturdays at the outdoor Eastern Market, where vendors sell produce, antiques and crafts. The neighboring Market Lunch dishes up breakfasts of two eggs, toast, scrapple and fried potatoes for less than five Washingtons or one Lincoln.

Guests coming into the 16-story Washington Court are greeted by an atrium and paneled Court Bar with billiards tables and plasma TVs. Sunlight floods in through the atrium's glass ceiling to bathe the contemporary art, chairs, sofas and potted plants. In addition to the Court Bar, this Washington hotel also features the 525 restaurant, which serves traditional American cuisine. The Washington Court also features complimentary fitness room, high- speed and wireless Internet access, business center and 16,000 square feet of meeting space.

With city or atrium views, the 267 guestrooms feature décors of crown molding, birds-eye maple antique reproductions, marble-topped side tables, high-speed or dial-up Internet access, and copies of the Washington Post.

Binging just a three-block hike down New Jersey Avenue Northwest to the U.S. Capitol, the Washington Court Hotel draws lobbyists and corporate travelers with business and glad-handing opportunities under the dome or in congressional offices. What's more, the Washington Court gets packed with families, other tourists and student groups that also take advantage of the hotel's location.
