Beautiful, Elegant Hotel Lombardy
We had a lovely stay in the elegant Hotel Lombardy. The hotel is beautiful - from the ornate doors to the long hallways and shutters on the room doors. The rooms are plush and our's had a little kitchenette also. The hotel is centrally located in Foggy Bottom and about 5 blocks away from the White House. It is between two subway stations (about a ten minute walk in each direction). We did not spend loads of time in the room as there are so much to see in DC but the free internet was a nice little bonus. Beware of the minibar - it's very expensive. The doorman and reception staff were very friendly and helpful (they gave us green apples for the road when we checked out :-). Good, pretty affordable valet parking is provided. There are many restaurants in the area. This is our fourth trip to Washington, DC and we always stay at different hotels. I think we might just go back to the Hotel Lombardy next time though...
