If you like your hotel to be every bit as fun as the rest of your vacation, this newly renovated pet-friendly hot spot should be at the top of your list. The wildly decorated rooftop lounge boasts a saltwater pool and a wall covered by bright artificial grass. You’ll want to relax inside colorful cabanas or enjoy the silent discos and spin classes that involve stationary bikes submerged in the pool. The restaurant, Station Kitchen + Cocktails, just relaunched with a new menu inspired by the surrounding embassies and mid-Atlantic cuisine. The hotel also offers in-room spa services, a fitness center and games like foosball, shuffleboard and ping-pong in the subterranean lounge.
Time Out tip: Two off-menu cocktails can be ordered by those in-the-know—the whiskey-based The Hunt and the gin-spiked Tunnel Vision.
