Best Luxury Hotels in Chinatown

The Westin Washington, DC Downtown occupies a prime position in the Penn Quarter sitting directly opposite the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and within easy reach of Capitol Hill, the White House, and National Mall. The Westin brand’s flagship in the capital, with redesigned guestrooms with the largest footprints of any hotel in Downtown DC, and a 10,000 sq ft fitness centre that ranks as the city’s biggest.

Dine at Root and Vine their lobby-level restaurant drawing on the wellness philosophy at the heart of the Westin brand. The concept champions locally-sourced, seasonally-inspired ingredients, with a menu that rotates to reflect the best of what the region has to offer, from a generous breakfast spread to cocktails and light fare late into the evening. Alongside it sits The Market at Root and Vine for grab-and-go options, and a Starbucks.

The Marriott Marquis Washington D.C sits in the convention centre district. At the heart of the hotel rises the colossal Birth of the American Flag, a 56-foot stainless steel structure by artist Carroll, which weighs 27,000 pounds and soars through a football field sized glass atrium to the fifth floor, and it is the largest single artwork in any Marriott hotel worldwide.

Dining ranges from the Anthem a bright, welcoming all-day restaurant drawing on the legacy of Marriott’s original 1927 Hot Shoppes and The Dignitary, housed within the historic Samuel Gompers AFL-CIO Plumbers Building, while in the warmer months, guests spill onto The Dignitary’s outdoor patio at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and 9th Street. The historic Plumbers Building also houses the hotel’s 8,000 sq ft bi-level fitness centre and a selection of guest suites.
