The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Washington

"FYI: The Living Room doubles as a DJ and cocktail lounge, much favored by boisterous urbanistas"

"The bar offers a tempting combination of gobsmacking views—the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Pentagon—and cocktails crafted by New York mixologist Sasha Petraske"

"rooftop bar lounge is fabulous"

"It's quite polished and playful, with a swank rooftop bar and sweet spa, though the accommodations tend toward the small side"

"Highlights include three swanky bars, two restaurants, a modern fitness center, and a boutique spa"

"J&G Steakhouse, Living Room lobby Bar, and sky-high POV Lounge all worthy destinations on their own"

"A "high-class" historic hotel made "fresh" with a "chic", "sleek" design, this "trendy" venue pulls in a "younger" crowd with assets like a "beautiful" rooftop bar offering the "best view in town", a Bliss Spa and "excellent" food at the "over-the-top" J&G Steakhouse; the "hip" quarters are "a little on the small side" according to some, but are "comfortable" and boast waterfall showers and iPod docks -- and the "great" location is just "a stone's throw from the White House"

"The Living Room lounge has a full bar with light fare"

"Dine at the Mediterranean-inspired Pinea, or grab drinks in the basement whiskey bar (or on that rooftop lounge)"

"Here, comfortable ruby-red banquettes, daybeds and wicker lounge chairs are pointed for views of the White House lawns, the Washington monument and the Department of the Treasury"
