Capital Hilton

The Capital Hilton is a classic downtown Washington, DC hotel at 1001 16th Street NW, at the corner of 16th and K Streets about four blocks north of the White House. Farragut North and McPherson Square Metro stations are both within a few blocks, and the Lafayette Square area, Dupont Circle and the K Street business district are all easy to reach on foot. The hotel is a large, traditional property that has long served government, association and corporate visitors, and its character is business-oriented rather than boutique. Room types include Queen Rooms, King Rooms and Executive Suites, with nightly rates generally from about $200 to $450 in US dollars, rising during conventions and major political events. Amenities include a fitness center, on-site restaurants, a business center and valet parking. Dining options cover breakfast and dinner in the hotel restaurants, while the surrounding blocks hold many independent restaurants and coffee shops used by downtown workers. Meeting and ballroom space makes the hotel a frequent venue for conferences and events, so the lobby can be busy on weekdays. The service style is geared to efficient check-in, business travelers and group bookings, but the location also works well for first-time tourists who want a central base with Metro access. The National Mall and the Smithsonian museums are roughly a mile south and can be reached by a short Metro ride or a walk of around twenty minutes. Visitors who prefer familiar chain amenities and a straightforward downtown address will find the property practical, and rates are typically more moderate than those at the nearby luxury hotels on Lafayette Square.
