The West End is a modern neighbourhood steeped in history. Known for having some of the capital’s trendiest restaurants and most luxurious hotels, a stay at Fairmont Washington puts you at the heart of this stylish area. When you’re not browsing the shops, you can explore the major tourist attractions, including the White House, Lafayette Park and Renwick Gallery.

Fairmont has been dedicated to protecting the environment for over 25 years. As well as using an energy management system and comprehensive recycling programme, it has placed beehives on the hotel rooftop gardens to help combat Colony Collapse Disorder. Not only is this beneficial to the environment, but it also means that the chef’s dishes incorporate fresh and sustainable honey that has been made on site.

Fairmont Washington is under a 10-minute walk to the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station, from where it’s a 20-minute train ride to the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium and other iconic landmarks. It takes even less time to walk to Georgetown and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Explore the cobblestone streets, bustling waterfront and stylish boutiques that the city’s oldest neighbourhood has to offer, before watching an unforgettable display of the arts. For those jetting in by plane, it only takes 15 minutes to drive to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and 30 minutes to Washington Dulles International Airport.
