The Best Hotels in Washington DC With Parking

The average room in this micro-hotel tops out at 150sqft (14sqm), but there’s no shortage of style. The clever space-saving design, minimalist furniture and white-on-white color scheme – with strategic touches of blue or gold – feel clean and restful. Get productive in the Commons, a hip co-working space adjacent to the Crimson Diner, which serves breakfast all day long. The Motto’s three-venue gastro-plex also includes the Crimson Whiskey Bar, where you can sample 150 types of bourbon, and the Crimson View, a rooftop bar with views of the Washington Monument.

From plush velvet sofas and Persian rugs, to tribal-print throw pillows, this West End hotel is the epitome of boho chic. Start your day with a yoga class in the plant-filled courtyard. Hang out in the “living room”, an inviting open-concept communal space that replaces a traditional lobby. Curl up with a book in one of the living room’s welcoming seating areas, or sidle up to the bar for a craft cocktail. Set the mood with a record from El Donut Shoppe, which sells new and used vinyl from its storefront off the living room.

Hyatt’s answer to the boutique hotel welcomes you in high Washingtonian style. From the moment you set foot in the lobby, your eyes are drawn to the floor-to-ceiling glass art installations, which showcase blown-up photographs of DC’s famous cherry trees in full bloom. The rooms and suites deliver all the luxury associated with the brand – limestone spa-style showers, 300-thread count sheets – plus American craft-y touches including Shaker-inspired chairs and quilted throw pillows.

Immerse yourself in American history at the Jefferson. Built in 1923, this landmark beaux arts hotel has long served as a backdrop for high-level political meetings. The walls are decorated with original documents signed by hotel namesake Thomas Jefferson, author of the US Declaration of Independence. Meet up with the resident historian to learn more about DC’s fascinating political and cultural history. Dine beneath the coffered ceilings and crystal chandeliers of the Michelin-starred Plume restaurant, where the seasonal menu is inspired by Jefferson’s garden at Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Whether you’re in DC to fight for social justice or to engage in revolutionary acts of self-care, Eaton DC offers a refuge from the rat race.

Close to, but a peaceful retreat from the happening bar and restaurant scene on 14th Street, this boutique hotel with parking in Washington DC is aristocratic with a modern edge. The current management has transformed what used to be a chain hotel into a design showcase with double crown moldings, mosaic tile bathrooms and walls lined with original artwork. The decor is a mix of jazzy floral prints with regal wing-back chairs and crushed-velvet curtains. Nothing to wear to the ball? Rent or purchase attire, from pocket squares to cocktail gowns, from the Darcy’s haberdashery.

DC’s original micro-hotel feels like a grown-up version of a hostel. Each of the tiny, immaculate rooms is unique, featuring framed artwork, exposed brick and beams, and clever quotes stenciled on walls and mirrors (“Objects in mirror may be sexier than they appear”). High ceilings, natural light and white walls make the 200-sqft (19-sqm) space feel cozy, not cramped. The community spaces are just as inviting. You won’t be able to resist pulling up a chair in front of the fireplace in the Hive lounge/library, or taking in the sunset from the rooftop bar.
