Stay Hacks for the District of Columbia

Exploring the District of Columbia can be enriched with a few insider tips that enhance your experience while maximizing value.

Fast Fact: Did you know? Nearly 75% of Washington, D.C.'s hotels are within historic buildings - take Riggs Washington DC, which blends its storied past with modern luxury.

Local Hack: Ask about the 'D.C. breakfast sandwich' when booking your stay; many hotels will serve a complimentary version exclusively for guests.

Hidden Gem: Check out the National Mall's Reflection Pool (a short stroll from any downtown hotel) - it's quieter than nearby attractions and offers stunning photo ops.

Smart Tip: Booking directly with hotels can lead to savings; rates for direct bookings often drop by as much as 20% during off-peak seasons.
