🇺🇸 Washington D.C. Hotels | The Way of Gray & White

The Waldorf Astoria and Conrad in D.C. are just a few blocks apart, yet they feel like two different worlds. The WA is surrounded by historic landmarks and is itself a century-old treasure 🏛️, while the Conrad sits in a sleek new luxury shopping district—all gleaming glass, gray and white marble, and not a single ornate pattern in sight. The most iconic feature is the minimalist atrium 🌙: soft curves everywhere, a glowing "moon" hanging high, and natural light streaming through circular skylights. It’s so futuristic that you’ll forgive the two-elevator journey to the guest rooms 🛗. I booked a Studio Suite with no extra upgrade. The space is divided by a TV wall, though it leaves a slightly awkward hallway. The gray-and-white palette continues everywhere—even the art is monochromatic 🎨. It’s radically minimalist, but far from basic—this is top-tier Conrad quality. It was my first time seeing dimmable sliding light controls in a U.S. hotel! 💡 The bathroom didn’t disappoint either: double sinks set in gray-and-white marble, bright and spacious 🚿. The only letdown? Soundproofing is just okay—I could hear the neighbor’s coffee machine ☕… maybe because of the connecting door. I skipped the pricey Sakura Lounge (reserved for Diamonds) and used my $50 F&B credit at the main restaurant 🍽️. The Eggs Benedict with jumbo crab was excellent 🦀—worth every cent! For drinks, I highly recommend Allegory, a speakeasy nearby 🐇🔮. The decor is vintage "Alice in Wonderland"-style, but the cocktails are truly world-class—even rivals NYC’s best bars 🍸. Having now visited all U.S. cities with both a WA and Conrad (including Orlando, which I haven’t written up yet), Hilton’s strategy is clear: 🏛️ WA = classic Art Deco elegance ⚪ Conrad = modern, bold, and minimalist In D.C., the Conrad isn’t a "budget WA"—it’s a totally different experience. Both are worth staying for. #DMV #WashingtonDCHotels #DCHotels #ConradDC #LuxuryTravel #MinimalistDesign #TravelStyle
