23 Best Hotels in Washington, DC, the Nation's Vibrant Capital | Condé Nast Traveler

"Billed as an activist hotel, this downtown property merges Eaton Workshop’s creative hub for innovators and grassroots projects with new-age wellness and destination restaurants. Slide past the black-brick exterior into a naturally lit lobby reportedly modeled on 1960s Swiss bus terminals, all earthy tones, swirling floor patterns, and low-slung leather and velour seating; a working radio station broadcasts discussions on social issues, and crystals adorn the check-in desk. It’s a short stroll to the National Museum of Women in the Arts and Franklin Square Park, and about 15 minutes from the White House." - Laura Ratliff
