Park Hyatt Washington, D.C.

Washington, DC


Modern Americana is celebrated in this classy minimalist West End hotel, right down to the gorgeous interplay of textiles and wood throughout (the Vermont-made rocking chairs are irresistible). Tony Chi decorated the spacious, neutral-hued guest rooms, complete with cherry-blossom-adorned glass-topped desks. The hotel's Michelin-starred Blue Duck Tavern serves up fresh, regional fare (try the apple pie).
