Flights to Washington

Flights to Washington DC deliver you to the seat of the US government. The president calls the shots from the White House, while Congress works just around the corner and the Supreme Court just a few blocks further way.

And then there are the monuments. Who could fail to be inspired by the Lincoln Memorial, the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial or the Arlington National Cemetery? Close to the cemetery you’ll find the Iwo Jima Memorial (also known as the Marine Corps War Memorial), a bronze sculpture that is one of the most memorable landmarks in the city.

In the past, Washington DC had a reputation for being conservative, but that has changed in recent decades, thanks to an influx of young professionals and an ever-more-exciting downtown, with cool areas to explore such as Chinatown. Although power brokers remain, filling many of the luxury hotels and fine dining spots, DC’s youthful energy has strongly injected itself into the city, forming an undercurrent of hip restaurants, trendy hotels and hidden lounges.

But above all, it’s the historical institutions that draw visitors to Washington time and time again. It's impossible not to be affected by the exhibitions on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History or the National Archives – visit the latter to see the Declaration of Independence.

Then there’s the ever-impressive Washington Monument, as well as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, where visitors still leave tributes on an almost daily basis. You could spend a week in Washington and not begin to cover everything – and that's a good thing.

Where to eat in Washington

The Red Hen (Italian)

This Italian-influenced venue has a wood-fired grill and a large painting of a rooster. Most of the city's best restaurants are clustered to the east and south, but The Red Hen stands alone in historic Bloomingdale for a reason: it's just that good.

The Partisan (American)

Stop here for a quick bite between sightseeing on the National Mall. The Partisan focuses on cured meats, making it an excellent spot to share more than 30 types of charcuterie.

Restaurant Nora (Modern American)

This homey spot with rugs on the walls and authentic organic food on the menu is located near Dupont Circle, just two kilometres from the National Mall. Founder Nora Pouillon, born in Vienna, is one of the leaders in environmentally conscious cuisine and the food at her shop reflects her exquisite taste.

Places to stay in Washington

The Jefferson

The Jefferson is less than a mile away from the White House, but even the United States president might be jealous of your stay. The 95-room five-star boutique hotel is well worth the price, both for its extravagant luxury and its prime location.

The Hay-Adams

Beautiful and regal, just not as much as its near neighbour the White House, this luxury spot on the northern side of Lafayette Square is elegant with Old World charm. You might see the city’s power players in the dining area on the way to your room.

International House of Washington

With so much to see and do in the city, sometimes you’ll just want an easy and affordable place to rest your head and store your bags; step forward International House of Washington in Chinatown. The price is right at this laidback hostel, which welcomes international students and travellers from all over the world.
