Built in 1926, the grand hotel has hosted world leaders for more than 80 years—after all, it is only two blocks from the White House. Renovated in 2008, rooms and suites include wireless Internet, iPod docking stations on the Bose clock radios, 32-inch LCD televisions and electric mirrors in the bathrooms, with television screens imbedded within the reflective surface of the mirror. Elegant and tasteful furnishings and décor provide a seamless feeling of classic luxury throughout the common areas and the beautiful rooms.
