Treat Yourself AND Your Holiday Guests — At These Haute Hotels

Maybe you're hosting your family in Washington for the first time, or maybe you're a District denizen who needs a little extra room for out-of-town guests. Or perhaps you're just looking for a little staycation amid all the holiday revelry — we don't blame you! No matter what you — or Mom, Dad, and Grandma — need in a home away from home, we've rounded up some super-sweet area hotels that offer every last amenity on your wish list. Impress your history-buff uncle with a retreat rich in local legend, or treat your fresh-from-the-Foreign-Service sister to all the little luxuries she's been missing. And, since we know you deserve a little seasonal splurge, too, we chose places that aren't just excellent crash pads for the fam — they offer some truly perfect perks, too, like a killer bar or a must-visit spa. How's that for some Christmas-elf level work?
