The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Washington

"FYI: The Living Room doubles as a DJ and cocktail lounge, much favored by boisterous urbanistas"

"The bar offers a tempting combination of gobsmacking views—the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Pentagon—and cocktails crafted by New York mixologist Sasha Petraske"

"rooftop bar lounge is fabulous"

"It's quite polished and playful, with a swank rooftop bar and sweet spa, though the accommodations tend toward the small side"

"Highlights include three swanky bars, two restaurants, a modern fitness center, and a boutique spa"
