Historic 1930 hotel on the edge of Rock Creek Park and a short walk to the National Zoo and Woodley Park Metro.
The Omni Shoreham Hotel is a historic 1930 hotel at 2500 Calvert Street NW in Woodley Park, on the edge of Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, United States. The hotel is a short walk from the National Zoo and the Woodley Park Metro station, and it overlooks the park. The location is quieter and greener than the downtown core while still offering Metro access to the Mall and other parts of the city.
The building has a grand early twentieth-century character with large public rooms and ballrooms. Rooms include Deluxe Rooms and suites, with rates typically between $200 and $450 per night. The property is large, so rooms vary in size and view, and those facing Rock Creek Park are especially pleasant.
Amenities include a seasonal outdoor pool, a fitness center, restaurants, concierge service and valet parking. The outdoor pool is a significant draw in summer, and on-site dining covers breakfast through dinner. The Woodley Park and Adams Morgan neighbourhoods offer many restaurants within walking distance, along with Connecticut Avenue shops.
Service is traditional, suited to families, conference attendees and visitors who enjoy historic hotels. Rock Creek Park offers running and cycling trails right outside, and the zoo, which has free admission, is within walking distance. Metro is the best way downtown, with the Red Line from Woodley Park, and rates often rise when large conventions or events are held at the hotel.
