The "Look" of one of coolest hotels in Washington DC At the Capitol Skyline Hotel we've taken a fabulously eclectic seven-story downtown DC hotel built by master architect Morris Lapidus (the original designer of Miami Beach's famed Fontainebleau resort) and dressed up the public rooms with collectible furniture by some of the most interesting modern and contemporary designers: Frank Gehry, Eero Saarinen, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Greg Lynn, Ross Lovegrove, Denis Santachiara and Philippe Starck, just to name a few. It feels almost like a mini-museum of design, except you get to touch, feel, hang out around and sit on everything! These pieces of design are among the most unique of any Washington hotels. The Gym at the Capitol Skyline in downtown Washington DC is filled with state of the art fitness and weight equipment. Keep your exercise routine current by visiting our on-site Fitness Center located on the lobby level featuring state-of-the-art equipment by StarTrac, including elliptical, treadmills, recumbent bike (with private flat panel tv), leg extension/curl combo, Multi-chest combo, and bicep/tricep combo. Book your downtown Washington DC hotel reservations online and receive the best rates and complimentary upgrades upon availability. |

THE BEST WASHINGTON DC HOTEL SWIMMING POOL!! This is our favorite thing about the hotel: a competition-size pool with an enormous pool deck right in the middle of Washington, DC. Voted by many as the best swimming pool of all Washington DC hotels. It's open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and we definitely make the most of it, with a series of really fun outdoor parties that bring in a terrific mix of people from the DC community to hang out with our guests. During the warm summer months we offer food and drinks by the pool so after a full day of seeing all the DC sites you can cool off and relax at our downtown DC hotel. The Skyline pool is truly the most unique of any Washington hotels !! |

THE GUEST ROOMS The Capitol Skyline Hotel guest rooms are some of the largest and most spacious of any Washington DC Hotel. The decor is inspired by America's mid-century obsession with all things colonial, but with a bright, cheerful twist. And of course they have all the necessities of modern life on the road: FREE WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS (not often offered free in Washington DC hotels !!) , 27-inch TV's, free digital safes, large working areas, ridiculously comfortable mattresses, big closets, and nice clean bathrooms with quarry granite vanities. Often hotels in Washington DC offer no views from guest rooms, but at the Capitol Skyline we have some of the most spectacular views of the Capitol. Ask for a Capitol view guestroom and be inspired by a fabulous Capitol view. |

Some of our favorites include: Old Bay Crab and Artichoke Dip; Corn and Zucchini Beignets; Blanched Asparagus with Arugula, Chopped Egg and Lemon Aioli; Southern Pan-fried Chicken with Honey Pecan Butter; and the nightly Meat and 2, which pairs homey dishes like braised pork shanks or lemon-thyme roasted chicken with scrumptious homemade sides.

MEETING AND BANQUET SPACES The Capitol Skyline has over 5,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space, with a bunch of it overlooking the pool deck. The Capitol Skyline has some of the most dynamic and flexible meeting space of any hotel in Washington DC. We've done everything from military weddings to corporate meetings to family barbecues, and we love coming up with fun new ideas for parties, get-togethers and celebrations. It is unusual to find such a large pool deck for outdoor spring and summer events in a Washington DC hotel. |
