Once an old, stuffy Best Western, the Capitol Skyline Hotel--originally built as the Skyline Inn during the 1960s by architect Morris Lapidus of Miami's famed Fountainbleau resort--has been restyled with chic, modern furniture from noteworthy contemporary designers to produce a relaxed, hip vibe more in line with its original Space Age concept (it was the 60s, after all). Just a short walk from Nationals Park, it's a prime location for trips to a ball game or Capitol Hill, and the large outdoor pool and patio are always a draw during the warmer months.
