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.

I had a very nice stay. Everything was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was within walking distance of the metro and the bus stop I use to visit my relatives.

Nice Stay

I have to say that the Washington Plaza Hotel was located a few streets from the National Mall and the White House; this was the perfect place to stay in terms of location to all of the sites and sounds of Washington, D.C. My room was average size, but was comfortable. The only thing that I was unaware of was the $110.00 hold that the hotel placed on my debit card to cover services such as food and drinks at the bar and room service. All in all, I had a nice stay at the Washington Plaza Hotel.

My Stay

I stayed at this hotel for a Disability Policy Seminar that I attended at the Grand Hyatt. It was a nice stay. The location was safe - only 10 blocks to the metro station and there were a few restaurants and drug stores close by. It was mostly quiet as my room was on the backside. The view was not great but I was there to sleep only. I wish they would have had a complimentary shuttle service but they didn't. Food from room service was good but way too expensive.

Shopping tip: Long walk from hotel

Put on your walking shoes but Macy's is not that far of a walk. It was also a long walk to the White House.

A very good choice

The hotel, room, services restaurant are very satisfactory. The personnel are, also, very kind and cooperative. The only drawback is that they charge for the garage. I would expect the garage to be included.

weekend getaway & touring

good location (easy access to public transportation, close enough to downtown tourist sites), clean room, bedding was comfortable, good value for the money, and was even able to find free street parking around the corner from the hotel for the weekend.

Washington Plaza Hotel

In as much as I thought the stay was pleasant and the staff helpful, there were three areas that needed improvement. 1. The cable/satellite TV was horrible. The programs would freeze or stations that were supposed to be covered were not. 2. When asking for directions at the front desk, the person gave inaccurate descriptions thus making my travel time less than ideal. 3. The wait staff at the hotel's restaurant were very inattentive. I always had to ask for refills on coffee and water. Otherwise, the hotel was clean and presentable.
