Watergate, very historical

I've never been on the inside, but the exterior is very 70s. The location is nice, close to Georgetown and the National Mall.

Hay Adam’s

Strongly recommend Hay Adams, and if you go post Covid you have to go to their Bar Off the Record. It’s fantastic and usually filled with WH Press Corp and Staffers which is cool do you’re into that.

Don’t stay at the W, rooms are meh, but the rooftop bar is dope if open when you go.

Hay Adams or the Four Seasons Georgetown

like

For your Marriott Points, go to the new Marriott Marquis by City Center. Cool building in a terrific location with plenty of good restaurants nearby. For Hilton Points, there’s a brand new Canopy by Hilton at the awesome new Wharf development. Right on the water, with great restaurants...you could take a water shuttle from there to Georgetown for a nice scenic activity. These are both honeymoon worthy and brand new options.

You’d enjoy the Wharf! They deliberately only rented out space to local or regional restaurants and shops... Mi Vida is upscale Mexican and its sister place is The Grill. There’s upscale doughnuts. There’s a branch of Hanks Oyster Bar which is a local favorite. Cool falafel place. And several I haven’t tried yet. Local bookshop Politics and Prose opened a branch there. The property itself is nice architecture. Only a ten minute walk to many of the Smithsonians and the Jefferson Memorial. If you go in cherry blossom season, it’s probably the closest home base to East and West Potomac Parks.

The Graham hotel in Georgetown is real nice. Has a nice rooftop bar as well.

Mayflower, W for POV Lounge (although you dont need to stay there to go to POV, JW has some pretty cool views due its location in Penn Quarter provided you get upgraded (no lounge though). The St. Regis is really nice too.

Thank you all for your recommendations!

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast. My manager put a surprise calendar invite twice now to go to home office without consulting dates to see if we were available. I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂

After a hard reset on travel points (got none after Covid and change to industry) how would you start over? Which credit card is best for travel points? Airline? Starwood or Bonvoy? Avis or ??

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.

Welcome to all my fellow travelers. Travel is a great way to open your eyes to the world we live in. To experience new cultures & customs & embrace diversity in our world which makes being human so special. Due to Covid travel has been definitely not a priority for most people. As travel changes in our society due to borders opening and technology let's discuss and share on the experience so we can adjust to our new world and prepare for a safer experience which could be inspiring-
