Washington Court Hotel

Washington, DC


The Washington Court won't wow you with design pizzazz, but the large rooms with spruce, earth-toned decor and a convenient perch next to Union Station make up for it. If you luck out, you might get a room with a view of the Capitol. Then again, you might get one with a view of a government office building.
