Where to Stay

Doubletree Guest Suites

For family travel, it�s hard to beat Doubletree � and it�s not just because of those warm cookies they give you as soon as you check in. Every guestroom is really a suite, with lots of room for families to relax in. Kids must be accompanied by adults to use the 12,500-square-foot health club, but they are welcomed (so much so that water toys are kept poolside for their enjoyment).

Details: 800-424-2900 or www.doubletree.com. 801 New Hampshire Ave. NW. Doubles start at $129.

Holiday Inn on the Hill

How�s this for family-friendly: kids 12 and under eat for free at the Holiday Inn�s restaurant. And that�s not the only perk they get: upon arrival, they are given cool blue soap bubbles, rooms are outfitted with Nintendo, and those aged 19 and under stay in their parents� room for free. In case that�s not enough to persuade you, the hotel is just a short walk from the Smithsonian.

Details: 800-638-1116 or www.hionthehilldc.com. 415 New Jersey Ave. NW. Doubles start at $109.

Hotel Monaco

This is an elegant, opulent hotel, but it�s still geared for family fun. In addition to family packages and welcome gifts, the hotel comes up with innovative ways to keep children amused (one program gives them goldfish in a bowl to take care of during their stay). The hotel is next to the International Spy Museum, so frequently special guest passes are part of the deal.

Details: 877-202-5411 or www.monaco-dc.com. 700 F St. NW. Doubles start at $239.

Hotel Rouge

The Hotel Rouge certainly rolls out the red carpet for its pint-sized guests. It frequently pairs up with local attractions � such as the National Zoological Park � to offer special packages, and welcome kits for kids can include plush toys. Located near the main museums of the Smithsonian, this boutique hotel can make a stylish home base.

Details: 800-368-5689 or www.rougehotel.com. 1315 16th St. NW. Doubles start at $139.
