Recently I had a staycation at one of the most beloved luxury hotels in DC: the Park Hyatt Washington. \u00a0To me, luxury is not only about the quality and decor of the room, but also about the experience. That is what Park Hyatt Washington delivers the best. \u00a0I have visited the hotel plenty of times for dinner, tea, and cocktails. \u00a0Also, I’ve had the opportunity to experience their event space at our first Women of Color Travel event last November. \u00a0Needless to say, it’s one of my favorite properties in DC. \u00a0Here are some of my highlights:<\/p>\n The Location:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0One of criteria to picking luxury hotels in DC (in my humble opinion) is location. \u00a0I like that Park Hyatt Washington is located on 24th and M St, just a 15 minute walk to the center of Georgetown, 15 minute walk to Dupont Circle, and a 10 minute walk to the Foggy Bottom Metro Station. \u00a0This central location allows you to reach all the key points of the city by public transportation, by foot, or a short taxi ride. \u00a0 Here’s my guide on how to spend a day in Georgetown<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Rooms:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0We stayed at the Park Executive Suite, which was incredibly spacious. \u00a0It includes a spacious living room area, a small dining area, a king size bed, spa bathroom, and 1 1\/2 bathrooms. \u00a0The room decor is very warm: rich, dark woods, wooden sculptures, cozy bed… needless to say, it was difficult to leave the room! I’ve visited many luxury hotels in DC, and must say, the rooms at the Park Hyatt Washington are one of my favorites.<\/p>\n The Food:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0Where do we start? \u00a0The Park Hyatt Washington is home to one of the most\u00a0revered restaurants in Washington DC: \u00a0The Blue Duck Tavern. \u00a0If you ask most locals about their favorite restaurants, their list usually include The Blue Duck. \u00a0The restaurant serves American classics with a refined touch. \u00a0Their menu is seasonal and you will find that the restaurant’s\u00a0Chef de Cuisine Brad Deboy incorporates many ingredients sourced from local and small farms from the mid-Atlantic. \u00a0I’ve dined several times at the restaurant and always leave with a happy, full belly! \u00a0This time, I indulged in the roasted quail with a light farro salad and a yogurt sauce. \u00a0Lately I’ve been craving rich, comfort foods so I couldn’t help but to order the white corn grits, delicious! We concluded our dinner sharing a beautifully decadent strawberry shortcake for dessert. \u00a0The shortcakes were rich in flavor but with a light consistency, which we really enjoyed.<\/p>\n Another culinary you must experience at the hotel is breakfast. You don’t have to wait for the weekend to treat yourself to the breakfast specialties offered. \u00a0Indulge in their pancakes, one of my favorite items on their menu. \u00a0They change seasonally, so keep your eye out for lemon poppy to pumpkin pancakes throughout the year. \u00a0Bonus: \u00a0I treated the Dutchman for breakfast at The Blue Duck Tavern back in March. \u00a0When we arrived to our latest dinner almost 5 months later, our server greeted us by name. \u00a0It’s all in the little details. Also, don’t forget\u00a0have a cocktail at their beautiful bar. \u00a0Read more about the bar experience here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Verdict:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0If looking for luxury hotels in DC, Park Hyatt Washington should be on your list, especially if you a lover of great food. \u00a0The location is superb, the service impeccable, and the culinary offerings make it a must visit in Washington, DC.
