Things To Do

Capital Hilton (Home Base)

Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle (Wedding)

The Army & Navy Club (Reception)

National Mall

No, this is not the nation's largest shopping mall...but it is home to our national monuments and Smithsonian museums! All kinds of history and sites to explore.

The White House

Even if you're not a fan of Joey B., it is only a 5-second walk to the White House from the hotel.

P.J. Clarke’s DC

Open since 1884, this is one of our favorite spots to grab a cold beer and a dozen oysters!

Off the Record

Off the record is a "speak easy" under the Hay-Adams Hotel. Locally, it is known as downtown Washington, D.C.'s best "place to be seen and not heard." Surrounded by caricatures of the city's political elite both past and present. Open from 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. daily. Light fare menu served until 10:30 p.m. daily

Old Ebbitt Grill

The Old Ebbitt Grill, Washington's oldest saloon, was founded in 1856 when, according to legend, innkeeper William E. Ebbitt bought a boarding house. As a boarding house, the Ebbitt guest list read like a Who's Who of American History. President McKinley is said to have lived there during his tenure in Congress, and Presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Andrew Johnson, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt and Warren Harding supposedly refreshed themselves at its stand-around bar. Great food and drinks. May be on the pricier side (haha it's D.C.), but it is worth it for the atmosphere! Grab a reservation before you come into town.

Lincoln's Waffle Shop

Favorite breakfast hole in the wall! It is iconic D.C.

The Willard

Adding this hotel for the history buffs. The hotel itself is beautiful and historic. If you can get in, visit the Round Robin bar and ask them to make you a mint julip the original way! Nicknamed the Oval Office of Bars, the Round Robin Bar has been a lively meeting place for political and social elites since its establishment in 1847.
