District Hotel is often chosen for its excellent location, within walking distance or a short ride via bus lines 52 and 54 to major attractions like The White House, easily reachable in about half an hour, and the monuments, also close to Logan Circle with its pleasant atmosphere. Guests appreciate the clean rooms and comfortable beds, plus the convenience of having a microwave available in the lobby, and free tea and water at reception.
