Where to stay in Washington DC

Advice on budget, affordable and luxury accommodation in Washington DC

Budget accommodation in Washington DC

For cheaper accommodation, visitors to Washington DC should try a hostel. Hostels like Hostelling International Washington DC/a> and Capitol City Hostel offer cheap and central accommodation.

However, because it is a relatively small city, it is not too much of a hassle to stay in a hotel in suburbs like Arlington and Bethesda, which are easily accessible by public transport and cheaper than those in downtown Washington DC.

Affordable accommodation in Washington DC

For a few dollars more, there are plenty of hotels to choose from in Washington DC, such as the strikingly art deco Carlyle Suites and the ultra-stylish Hotel George, both of which are based in the heart of the city.

Luxury accommodation in Washington DC

For something a little bit special, you can stay at the Omni Shoreham Hotel where US presidents have been known to hold their inaugural balls, or the Hay Adams Hotel which boasts views of the White House.
