Foggy Bottom boutique hotel (formerly the George Washington University Inn), a short walk to Foggy Bottom Metro and the Kennedy Center.
Arc the Hotel is a hotel in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, DC, close to the George Washington University campus, the Kennedy Center and the Potomac waterfront. Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station, served by the Blue, Orange and Silver lines, is within a short walk, and the Lincoln Memorial, the National Mall and the White House are each reachable in roughly fifteen to twenty-five minutes on foot or a short Metro ride. Georgetown's M Street shops and restaurants are also nearby. Foggy Bottom is a mix of university buildings, embassies, offices and residential streets, giving the area a quieter, more local feel than the main tourist corridors. Guests should check current room categories, rates and amenities directly with the property, as detailed listings were not available when this entry was compiled. The location suits visitors attending events at the university, the Kennedy Center or the nearby State Department and federal agencies, as well as tourists who want a central base within walking distance of major monuments. Dining in the neighborhood includes casual cafes and restaurants along Pennsylvania Avenue and 23rd Street, and the broader West End and Georgetown areas provide additional choices a short walk or ride away. The service style is likely to appeal to business and academic travelers as well as leisure visitors who prioritize location and Metro access over resort-style amenities. Rates in Foggy Bottom often vary with the university calendar, with higher demand around graduation and move-in periods. Visitors can use the Metro for direct links to Reagan National Airport and downtown attractions, and rideshare is readily available.
