The perfect resort for staying close to downtown while not having to leave your room, The Mayflower Hotel is one of DC’s most iconic stays not only for its classic 7th-floor suites but in-room fireplaces perfect for escaping northeast blizzards. Wedged between Dupont Circle and Lafayette Square, the region is especially popular for lovers of convenience. Make things even easier as soon as you arrive to Reagan National Airport, whether that means utilizing a shuttle for easy drop-offs to ASAE Conference Center or cruising through town in your own limousine.
Enjoy an evening out on the town by having a solid restaurant to settle down in, whether it’s looking out at the nearby beauty of Farragut Square or checking out what’s downstairs. Walk around the corner for some low-key deli slices at Sunrise Café, the perfect place for brunch, or enjoy the business-casual menu at The Meeting Place next-door. Another great place to grab a bite is Mari Vanna DC, a deluxe Russian eatery home to a warm cottage-style interior and plenty of vodka choices. Stay close to home by heading to Edgar, an in-house eatery home to craft cocktails and an extra swanky backdrop perfect for happy hour.
Eating is only one part of the human experience, something especially easy to see by partaking in what’s outside the four walls of The Mayflower. Head south for obvious attractions including the fountains and statues of Lafayette Square, plus beautiful exhibits at the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery. Head to the west side afterward for a stroll through George Washington University, a historic campus home to its own unique museum scene, which includes The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum.
