Grand Hotels
They are more than just places to rest your head at night. Washington's historic downtown hotels represent both a vital link to the city's past and dazzling examples of au courant trends in architecture, design and dining. Each property has a tale to tell whether it is the role its lobby played in coining a new term for political negotiating, an open bank vault in the dining room or the pet gold fish available from the front desk. From the boarding houses of the District's early years to the mid-century palaces that spared no expense, hotels in the nation's capital have always been intriguing worlds unto themselves. Take an afternoon stroll unveiling cool elegance, unique history and all the comforts of a luxury home. We’ll provide tips on places for signature martinis, mint juleps and high tea.Led by Carolyn
