The on-site Capitol Bistro offers American favorites for dinner and breakfast—perfect if you're not looking to venture far after a long night.

While there’s no 24/7 room service, the in-room fridge and coffeemaker add convenience, and there are several nearby spots for late-night bites.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself isn’t a nightlife hotspot, you’re just a short ride via Metro or Uber to DC’s buzzing neighborhoods like U Street or H Street Corridor. Prefer something low-key? The area has a few quiet bars and lounges perfect for a post-show wind down.
