The Melrose Hotel Washington is a 240-room upscale property that's centrally located on Pennsylvania Avenue. Interiors are chic and have tasteful nods to American history, while guest rooms are spacious with a modern yet classic style. Rooms have big comfortable beds, well-equipped work nooks, and Molton Brown bath products. The farm-to-table restaurant gets good reviews, and there's happy hour in the Lounge. Additional features include an attractive fitness center and several different meeting/event spaces. Only basic Wi-Fi is free (faster service has fees), and the valet-only parking is pricey. If it's booked, the larger Fairmont Washington, D.C. nearby has more features (such as an indoor pool) and is often similarly priced.
