Giving the appearance of a museum, the Monaco Hotel occupies a four-storey, all marble mid-19th-century building. The two halves connect seamlessly, enclosing an interior, landscaped courtyard. Jutting into the courtyard from the F Street side of the hotel is its marvelous restaurant, Poste, which has established itself as a top spot for dining. The spacious guest rooms, similarly, combine historic and hip. Their arched ceilings are high and windows are long, hung with charcoal and white patterned drapes. Eclectic furnishings include neoclassic armoires and three-legged desks. Interior rooms overlook the courtyard and the restaurant; you'll see the charming, arched passageway. Exterior rooms view the MCI Center and the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery on the north side, and downtown sights on the south side. When you stay at the Monaco, you're not just downtown, you're part of all the action too. So, visit WashingtonDC-Hotels.biz to book the hotel online and avail of special deals and discounts.
