After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
There is no denying that Washington D.C. is full of history. While I love exploring the capital’s monuments and museums, I personally love being immersed in history by visiting the destinations where historic events actually occurred — like The Watergate Hotel, the luxury space synonymous with America’s most notorious political scandal. While you can visit the Watergate Complex for yourself anytime, history truly comes alive when you book a stay at this luxury hotel.
On a whim — and thanks to an unused credit card perk (we’re looking at you, American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts) — we booked a room at The Watergate Hotel for a chilly December Saturday to experience the history and luxury of this D.C. icon for ourselves.
