Not as glitzy as many of the other top DC hotels, the Westin offers attentive service and a more private, low-key environment. The rooms are comfortable and stylish, with ultra-comfortable beds, sizable bathrooms, leather furniture, and CD players. But comfy beds aren't only offered to the Westin's human guests—the Westin Doggie Bed offers the same plush sleep experience to our four-legged friends, too. Its location puts it within walking distance of Georgetown and many waterfront restaurants along the Potomac.

The Westin Grand Amenities:

• 263 rooms, 4 story. Pets accepted, some restrictions. Check-in 3 pm, check-out noon. High-speed Internet access. Two restaurants, bar. Fitness room. Outdoor pool. Airport transportation available. Business center.
