The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Washington-Capitol By IHG

Modern Comfort Just Steps from DC’s Biggest Attractions


Contemporary and convenient, the Holiday Inn Washington-Capitol puts you just one block from the Smithsonian and within walking distance of iconic sights like the Capitol Building and Washington Monument. With reliable amenities like 24-hour fitness and business centers, on-site dining, and a rooftop pool, this hotel is a solid base for exploring the city—or recovering after a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're catching a show at The Anthem, Capital One Arena, or a nearby outdoor stage, this hotel’s central location makes it a great choice. It’s close to multiple Metro stops, so getting back late at night is no stress. The surrounding area is generally quiet, giving you a peaceful place to recharge after the encore. Plus, check-in starts at 3 PM and check-out isn’t until noon, so you can sleep in post-show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a walkable spot near major venues
  • Solo travelers attending a must-see concert
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a calm space to reset after the show
  • Budget-conscious travelers who want quality without the splurge

Food and Drink Options

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. There’s also a Starbucks in the hotel for your morning-after caffeine fix. 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.

What People Say

Guests love the location—walkable to museums, monuments, and multiple live music venues. Reviewers often highlight the hotel’s cleanliness, friendly staff, and convenience to public transit. Many say it offers solid value in a pricey part of the city.

Areas for Improvement

The area tends to quiet down at night, which is great for rest but might feel a bit too calm if you're looking for post-show buzz nearby. Also, while the hotel is well-maintained, some rooms are due for a light refresh.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to a show in DC and want a comfortable, centrally located hotel with easy access to venues and transit, the Holiday Inn Washington-Capitol is a smart pick.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Palmer Wed, 25 June 2025

The hotel room suck but...

Liked: The front deck staff Kenny was great was very helpful and friendly it was a very busy weekend but he made time to handle any issues I had. If it wasn’t for his great customer service. I would have hated my stay there.
Disliked: The room was very old. My toilet handle was breaking. The air didn’t work in the room had to call maintenance the first hour of our stay. The air conditioning in the bedroom part of the room sounds like a loud 18 wheeler truck. Didn’t get any good sleep. Very annoying. The bathroom towel rack was loose about to come off the wall. I could go on and on about the furniture. I wouldn’t recommend
