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.

Decent hotel for weekend trip

This hotel was not bad for a weekend trip to the Rally to Restore Sanity. I booked early and got a good rate so I can't complain. The hotel is a bit of a walk from metro stations so be prepared. The room was a little worn with old air conditioner and tv. The beds were quite comfortable with nice bedding. Front desk staff were polite and quick with check in and out. Not a bad hotel for the price.

Nice Hotel, very convenient

Our room had a small balcony, however the door did not close all the way and had a makeshift lock. There was cold air seeping in around the door in the 1/2 inch crack. Convenient to walk to most DC attractions.
