The Mayflower

The Mayflower - 1127 Connecticut Ave NW
Declared by President Truman to be the "Second Best Address" in the District (after The White House of course), The Mayflower Renaissance Hotel has been a staple of Washington tradition and luxury for many years. This elegant venue has hosted some of DC's most high-profile events and names since opening its doors in 1925, cementing their place as a historic and sophisticated downtown landmark. Despite being the go-to Washington hotspot for classy drinks, dining, and accommodations year-round, visiting The Mayflower during the holiday season makes this ultra-expensive hotel completely worth the cost. In addition to having prime access to the popular in-house restaurant, Edgar Bar and Kitchen, guests can stroll through the beautifully decorated interior and enjoy the several brightly lit Christmas trees that cascade throughout the lobby.
