W hotel, they have a great spa and restaurant & the rooftop bar over looks the mall and White House which is fun for out of town guest. I threw my SILs Bach party there last year, we had brunch at the hamlinton the next day, lots of fun.

What about the piano bar at national harbor?

U st seems like it has a lot of possibilities-- could maybe stay at one of the Kimpton hotels (Helix, Rouge, etc.). Maybe try the Columbia room, although it depends if you are ok with more expensive/laid back.

Foggy bottom has a lot of reasonably priced hotels. Then you are walking distance or a short cab ride from DuPont. For my sisters bachelorette party, we stayed at the Marriott in foggy bottom. Not super classy, but we were close to everything. It wasn't expensive either. We walked into DuPont and did all of our bachelorette partying there.

i've had good luck on tripadvisor.com as well as the Washington Post's Going Out Guide.

Hi, I am planning my sisters Bach party from Charlotte and was planning on either Old Town or DC. My plan for old town isn't working out because the hotel Monaco where I planned to get a suite is totally booked now the night of the party.

I'm thinking it may not be as cool to stay anywhere else in OT and am considering DC but need major help on cool spots/hotels/restaurants...

I'm a bit older than my sister and she is also not super big partier so not looking for anything super crazy or $$$$$...just maybe a cool restaurant and cool bar scene and then possibly some dancing. Any suggestions would be SO appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!
