Capitol Hill Suites
Washington Downtown, Washington - DC
Reviews : 4.3 / 5
Like many of the neighbourhood's row houses built over 200 years, the hotel began as apartments. Built during the 1950's, the location proved perfect for government dignitaries and their guests for some 30 years. As the 1980s began, it became evident that the property offered a perfect location for a high quality all-suite hotel that would be in the heart of the action yet in the midst of a relaxing neighbourhood. Now as the newly renovated hotel enters its third century, it offers the perfect mix of location and contemporary comfort and amenities. The hotel offers everything a traveller would want in home-like comfort combined with all the things home will never offer. This city hotel consists of a total of 152 rooms. Facilities include a lobby, air conditioning, a hotel safe, breakfast room, WLAN Internet access and a garage. Business travellers can also make use of the conference facilities.
