Known as the Crown Jewel of Pennsylvania Avenue, The Willard InterContinental is conveniently located just one block from the White House. Internationally known as one of the best hotels in Washington D.C., the hotel offers 335 guest rooms and suites, one-of-a-kind meeting and dining facilities as well as a first class fitness center and Elizabeth Arden’s Red Door Spa. The Willard combines the perfect blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury to offer in a setting where history is made every day. Since its inception in 1816, the hotel has been the meeting place of politicians and luminaries, offering everything from a quiet place for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to pen his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, to a pre-inauguration home for then President-elect Abraham Lincoln, to a lobby where President Ulysses S. Grant was courted by those seeking influence, coining the term “lobbyist.”
