The go-to hotel for those seeking to be walking distance from the cherry blossoms that bloom near the Tidal Basic each spring, this Foggy Bottom spot is also near most of DC’s must-see tourist stops. The minimalist design with industrial touches (think exposed beams and rustic brick walls) makes this a hipster paradise, which happens to welcome pets and only accept credit cards. When cravings for delectable Italian food hit, pop into &pizza, one of the city’s most beloved homegrown fast-casual chains, which also runs a bar on the premise.
Time Out tip: If you book your stay on Hotel Hive’s website, as opposed to doing so through a third-party site, you’ll get a free upgrade, complimentary drink at the bar and up to a 5% discount on the best rate available.
