US presidential inaugurations take place only once every four years, but gracious hospitality at Park Hyatt Washington is a daily occurrence.  Enjoying a superb location between Georgetown, Dupont Circle, and downtown attractions, Park Hyatt Washington bring the best of Hyatt to the US capital.  A courteous, cosmopolitan staff makes a fine first impression upon arrival at the hotel, whose guests are further impressed by the spacious rooms and suites, where bathrooms and especially shower areas are far larger than those found in most American hotels.

Park Hyatt properties are known for their minimalist interiors, the better to allow high-ranking government and business leaders to clear their heads after another busy day of negotiation; at the Washington location, the mode of calmness is set as soon as guests walk in the door to be greeted by a beautiful work of art showcasing the city's famous cherry blossoms etched into wall-sized panes of glass on either side of the entrance foyer (seen here on the hotel's website).  In the rooms and suites, the emphasis is on one or two objects of art as the centrepiece of the accommodation.  In a rare honour for a hotel, Park Hyatt Washington was the subject of an article in the prestigious Architectural Digest magazine.

The Zen ambience of Park Hyatt Washington's lobby is unusual for a US property but not for its designer, famed master of hotel interiors Tony Chi.  An Asian aspect is further maintained by the unique tea humidor in the Tea Cellar, which presents rare teas from across the Asian continent.  Park Hyatt Washington's Blue Duck Tavern is one of the city's favoured watering holes for visiting dignitaries who enjoy the hotel's proximity to Embassy Row as well as local politician of the very highest level.  The award-winning Blue Duck Tavern's private dining room has hosted US President Barack Obama, and the restaurant regularly welcomes senators, congressmen, lobbyists, and aides to all of the above.  In the city that invented the power breakfast, Blue Duck Tavern's extensive morning offerings make it an ideal destination for early meetings.  In fact, with its numerous function rooms, Park Hyatt Washington is a preferred location for meetings and events.

For meetings taking place elsewhere in the vicinity, Park Hyatt Washington graciously offers a complimentary car service for guests during morning hours.  Of course, the car is also available for those with time to explore Washington's many museums; some small, lesser-known gems such as the Renwick Gallery and the Phillips Collection are in the Park Hyatt's neighbourhood.
