Fodor's Expert Review Grand Hyatt Washington

A city within the city is what greets you as you step inside the Hyatt's doors and gaze upward to the balconies overlooking the blue lagoon and the many conveniences within the atrium. You might never have to leave its climate-controlled interior with a Starbucks, restaurants, gift shops, and florist. You can walk to the Metro without ever stepping outside because it's right below the hotel—a huge advantage during D.C.'s hot and humid summers. Guests also rave about the Fit Club (free weights, cardiovascular and circuit-training equipment, saunas, and steam rooms are all free; spa services, personal training, and fitness classes are extra) and indoor pool.
