We love ourselves a bit of history when we wanna look all intellectual, so our Washington DC pick of the day is the Churchill Hotel on Connecticut Avenue. The 1906 building belongs to the Historic Hotels of America group, a sub-group of the National Trust organization. All that makes it kind of a private, exclusive place yet still in the middle of things.

At the Churchill you can choose from premiere rooms, junior and deluxe suites and kitchenette rooms--oversize suites with a mini-kitchen for a bit of self-catering. You can also eat on site at the Chartwell Grill Restaurant, from breakfast through to dinner.

The Churchill has a fourth of July special going, where guests can "show their patriotic spirit" by booking one night for $149 and getting full breakfast and metro tickets for two. Or if you're still feelin' intellectual, try the Old Town Trolley Tour package: $169 for accommodation, breakfast and an educational tour of DC by trolley, including a disposable camera to record the most historic sites you see! We love it that they give you milk and cookies when you get back.
