November in Washington, D.C. is quieter than the summer or holiday rush, making it an ideal time to slow down and recharge. At Capitol Hill Hotel, you can step outside and be at the U.S. Capitol or Supreme Court in minutes, then return to a room where cloud-like, plush bedding and goose-down pillows invite you to sink in and stay a while.
Start the morning with a cup from our all-day coffee and tea selection, then settle into a mobile desk for a few quiet minutes to plan your day or catch up on work. Cozy seating nooks and operable windows let you stretch, relax, or simply watch the neighborhood shift from soft morning light to sunset. Whether you’re visiting for a family gathering or a weekend reset, our D.C. home base creates a calm, personal environment for you to get some genuine rest.
Wellness Within Reach
Taking a break doesn’t have to be complicated. Having served the local community for over 19 years, Hot Yoga Capitol Hill offers accessible, heated classes for stretching, strength, and mindfulness. Equinox DC in the Navy Yard is practically a sanctuary of fitness, providing high-end classes and wellness options, like group meetups and personal training sessions. After your workout, book a massage at Mustard Seed Massage to release tension and rebalance, either in their space or right in the comfort of your room.
If you’re craving some fresh air, the U.S. Botanic Garden and Eastern Market Park offer peaceful walking paths and leaf-strewn benches for taking in the fall color. Even a short stroll along buzzy streets or a quick stop at a nearby café like Ebenezers Coffeehouse (don’t skip the mushroom turnover!) can create space for small, restorative pauses during your day.
Holiday Cheer for D.C. Kids
Capitol Hill Hotel is proud to support Toys for Tots this holiday season. From November 17 through December 15, our hotel will serve as an official drop-off location for new, unwrapped toys benefiting children in the D.C. area. Guests and local neighbors can drop off donations Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Even a single gift can brighten a child’s holiday, and contributing while staying at the hotel is a small, meaningful way to engage with the community without changing your plans.
A Taste of Capitol Hill
A thoughtful morning routine starts right here at Capitol Hill Hotel, where guests can enjoy an on-site breakfast buffet, included as part of our Guest Amenity program. It’s a simple, nourishing way to start the day, whether you’re planning a brisk walk, a yoga class, or time to explore the neighborhood.
When you’re ready to venture out, Rose’s Luxury offers modern American dishes with their own distinct personality. Known for their “Choose Your Own Adventure” menu, the restaurant serves standout dishes like truffled madeleines, tuna tartare stuffed inside an avocado, and the signature pork and lychee salad. You’ll even find a section on their menu dedicated to “slightly-ridiculously-sized desserts.”
Likewise, the first restaurant of its kind to ever appear in the Michelin Guide, Ambar Capitol Hill, brings a taste of the Balkans to D.C. Enjoy á la carte dishes like the Balkan Salad, packed with fresh diced pepper, onion, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes, tossed in sherry vinegar and topped with feta. Flavors like these can be a reminder that recharging doesn’t always mean slowing down. It can also mean tasting something new.
Home for the Holidays
November also brings the start of the holiday season, and with it, a chance to travel a little more comfortably. Our Home for the Holidays package includes up to 15% off our Best Available Rate, along with a $30 Uber credit to help you move through the city with less stress.
Whether heading to a family gathering, exploring holiday events, or seeing the neighborhood sights, our ultra-comfort suites give you room to settle in. Each one features a convenient kitchenette, spacious layout, and a soothing neutral palette, designed to help you feel at home, even when you’re away.
Finding Calm in the City
Even a few minutes of quiet can realign your day. A stroll through Eastern Market can inspire the gourmand of your group or offer a window into everyday life in Capitol Hill. Historic streets lined with row houses and nearby courthouse lawns provide calm spaces for walking or thinking. You can let your imagination run wild, thinking of all the history that has been made in these generations-old neighborhoods. With its convenient location, Capitol Hill Hotel makes it easy to incorporate these small moments, popping in and out as reflection and inspiration strike.
November is a time to slow down and enjoy the season in the city without the rush. Capitol Hill Hotel offers the space and comfort to help guests recharge, reconnect, and move through the holidays with ease.
