Capitol Hill and Northeast D.C.

FAMILY | Capitol Hill Hotel.

HOTEL | A great choice if you want to stay on the Hill and need some extra room to spread out: All Federalist-chic style units are suites, with kitchenettes, large work desks, flat-screen TVs, and spacious closets. An eco-friendly sensibility extends from free-trade coffee in the lobby to water-saving showerheads in every bathroom. Staying here has a residential feel, though it’s a short walk to several restaurants and major sights on the Mall. Amenities include a fitness room, library, and business center. Pros: good for extended stays; close to Metro; continental breakfast included. Cons: limited street parking. | Rooms from: $350 | 200 C St. SE, Capitol Hill | 20003 | 202/543–6000 | www.capitolhillhotel-dc.com | 152 suites | Breakfast | Station: Capitol S.

Courtyard Washington Capitol Hill/Navy Yard.

HOTEL | The location is a bit out of the way, but rooms are large and nicely done in “Federalist” blue and gold, spacious suites are equipped with refrigerators, microwaves, and wet bars, and amenities include an indoor pool. Some D.C. landmarks—including the Capitol, Navy Yard, and Nationals Park—are nearby, as is the developing Southeast waterfront. Pros: new; close to Metro and Capitol; popular bar. Cons: popular with groups, so some nights may be noisy; neighborhood construction. | Rooms from: $180 | 140 L St. SE, Navy Yard | 20003 | 202/479–0027 | www.marriott.com | 192 rooms, 12 suites.

Hilton Garden Inn/U.S. Capitol.

HOTEL | Soothing, well-kept guest rooms are a block away from the Metro stop and a short walk from Union Station and the Washington Convention Center. The outdoor pool is a great place to wind down after a long day of sightseeing in the summer, and the in-house Todd Gray Watershed restaurant has garnered a loyal following. Business travelers appreciate the 24-hour business center with free printing. Pros: near Metro; outdoor pool; business center. Cons: some reports of noise at night; not in the center of town; in a gritty neighborhood. | Rooms from: $259 | 1225 1st St. NE, Capitol Hill | 20002 | 202/408–4870 | www.hiltongardeninn.com | 204 rooms | Breakfast | Station: Noma/Galludet U.

FAMILY | Holiday Inn Capitol.

HOTEL | One block from the National Air and Space Museum, this family-friendly hotel is in a great location for those bound for the Smithsonian museums and the comfortable guest rooms were recently remodeled with new drapes, bedding, and granite-top vanities in the bathrooms. The Old Towne Trolley Tours stop here, making getting around town a snap. Kids stay free, and those under 12 eat for free at Capitol Bistro. A full-service Starbucks in the lobby fulfills many a caffeine fix, and the outdoor terrace is a good place for a picnic. The hotel offers connecting rooms and rollaways. Pros: family-friendly; rooftop pool; close to museums. Cons: limited dining options nearby; not much going on in the neighborhood at night. | Rooms from: $200 | 550 C St. SW, Southwest | 20024 | 202/479–4000 | www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/us/en/washington | 532 rooms, 13 suites | Breakfast | Station: L’Enfant Plaza.
