"What’s to love: A highlight of Washington, D.C.’s historic architectural grandeur is the circa 1899 Old Post Office on Pennsylvania Avenue, which has been thoughtfully adapted into one of the country’s most impressive—and romantic—city hotels, the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, opened in June 2022. From the exterior, the Romanesque Revival building channels the majesty of an illustrious European castle, clock tower and turrets included. Inside, 263 guest rooms frame a central atrium, illuminated by a colossal, arched skylight. Stately rooms, decked out in bold combinations of dark wood and gold trim furnishings and enhanced by royal blue soft goods, are interior power statements, fitting for America’s capital city. Romance factor: Get lost in epic tales of American history and culture by exploring the myriad treasures of the National Mall, which extends from the United States Capitol to the Potomac River. Begin your pursuits around the corner from the Waldorf at either the towering Washington Monument or the National Museum of African American History—one of seventeen free-of-charge museums, galleries, and complexes comprising the Smithsonian Institution. In the evening, book a dinner at one of DC’s many Michelin-starred restaurants (For a novel take on modern American cuisine, we recommend the multi-course tasting menu at 20-seat restaurant Métier.) Alternatively, discover some of the city’s amazing ethnic restaurants, none better than its authentic Ethiopian haunts like Chercher DC. For prime romance, consider visiting during Cherry Blossom season, roughly mid-March to mid-April, when the city glows in soft pink hues. Get there: Right in the heart of Washington DC; a 10-minute ride from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport" - Paul Rubio
