Watergate Hotel - Washington, District of Columbia, U.S.A.

It was here at the Watergate Hotel that burglers connected with Nixon's reelection campaign broke into the Democratic Headquarters, setting off a scandal that ultimately led to Nixon's resignation. Speaking of scandals, guess who lived in the Watergate complex during her storied tenure as a White House intern? No amount of presidential crisis, however, can obscure the fact that the Watergate is one of D.'s finest hotels.

Situated above the Potomac River and just steps away from the restaurants and shops of historic and tony Georgetown, the Watergate is also convenient to The Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts, the State Department, The White House and The Mall. On the inside, The Watergate boasts the most spacious rooms in D. and fantastic dining at Aquarelle Restaurant with one of the city's most stunning views of the Potomac River.

Conde Nast Traveler magazine recognized The Watergate as one of The Worlds Best Places to Stay in its 2002 Gold List featured in the magazines January 2002 issue.
