4. Holiday Inn Washington Capitol – National Mall
Usually, if you would prefer to stay in D.C., you should expect to pay more per night for your accommodations. However, this Holiday Inn is an exception to that rule, with rooms starting at $175. This hotel is also ideally situated: you will be just one block from the National Mall and eight minutes from L’Enfant Plaza, where you can catch the metro to just about anywhere – including Reagan National Airport and Alexandria on the yellow line.
5. Willard InterContinental
We would be remiss if we did not include at least one historic hotel on this list. Once comprised of a series of row houses, the Willard celebrated its bicentennial in 2018. Important historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. have stayed at the Willard, making this hotel an artifact of American history. You can take in even more history by visiting the White House, Ford’s Theater, and the National Portrait Gallery, which are all nearby.
