The posh nabe of Georgetown in Washington, D.C. is about to get even more swish in December 2012 when the Capella Georgetown opens. Yes, Capella of the luxury hotel collection, Capella Hotels and Resorts.

Now, we know how much political leaders love their fine hotel accommodations and the Capella Georgetown, at 1050 31st Street, NW, will not disappoint. According to a press release, the hotel will feature just 49 "magnificently appointed rooms and suites in a highly private and secure environment, and will provide unmatched levels of customer service and room finishes."

Additionally, the hotel promises to cater to "a sophisticated and discerning clientele including global industry leaders, heads of state and other visitors." ]]> juliana 2011-10-07T15:00:01-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/6/20/92919/9193

The Fairfax at Embassy Row is taking the whole patriotic red-white-and-blue idea in a whole other direction—a tasty one. If you stay at the Washington, D.C., hotel on Fourth of July weekend, you'll get a flight of red and white wines and artisanal white and bleu cheeses.

The aptly named Red, White and Blue package is perfect for food-and-drink fans who'd rather celebrate the holiday by boozing it up. However, if you still want to see some fireworks action, the package will also give you two round-trip Metro passes from the Dupont Circle Station—which is just a block from the hotel—to the National Mall, where you can watch the big pyrotechnics show. ]]> Jennifer Kester 2011-06-20T09:50:04-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/6/15/04611/5076

If you want to get the most bang for your buck on the Fourth of July, head to the W Washington, D.C.'s second annual Boom with a View. We know, it seems like the Fourth is as far away as Christmas, but it's less than three weeks till the holiday.

The main reason to spend your Fourth here is to hang in the W's rooftop, which looks out over the monuments. It gives you a prime perch to watch the National Mall fireworks.]]> Jennifer Kester 2011-06-15T09:04:26-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/3/4/131631/9668 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/4912/RenArlingtonCapitalView.jpg" class="top"></p> <p>It's not often hotels beat their projected opening dates, and it's even more remarkable from the <a href='http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/4836'><b>Renaissance Arlington Capital View</b></a> because the hotel <del>is already</del>* will likely be LEED certified, a process that's ordinarily more complicated than Charlie Sheen's interview schedule. <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/11/23/84426/469/hotels/A_Renaissance_Is_Coming_To_Arlington_A_Hotel_That_Is_">Last we heard</a>, the place would open in April; they're now taking rezzies for March 9 and on.</p> <p><a href="http://www.therenaissancelife.com/new-renaissance-arlington-capital-view-hotel-opening/">The Renaissance corporate blog</a> says the opening date for the hotel&#151;situated a four-mile cab or short Metro ride from the heart of D.C.&#151;is March 9 and promises "grand opening deals."
