Our whole family was excited to see such an important, symbolic US city for the very first time. This is where the nation was born, so every street corner - lined with colonial, Federal architecture - tells you something new about a country we all think we know so well. The urban experience in this great capital is so rich with historical and cultural things to do that it will take your family holiday to a deeper level - in fact it was the highlight of our whole trip on this continent.

But you’ll have fun too - with great food, friendly people, and the huge buzz of world politics in the air, which this city lives, eats and breathes. And when you stay in the superb, historic Hay Adams hotel you couldn’t sleep closer to the White House unless the President himself invited you to stay over!
