Mobil Travel Guide: Mid-Atlantic 2006 - Mobil Travel Guide - Paperback

Willard Inter-Continental, Washington DC The Willard Inter-Continental is steeped in history. Only two blocks from the White House, this legendary Beaux Arts hotel has been at the center of Washington's political scene since 1850. The Willard's lobby has always served as a drawing room to the world; it is here that Lincoln held fireside staff meetings, Grant escaped the rigors of the White House to enjoy brandy and cigars, and the term lobbyist was coined. Henry Clay shared the secret of the mint julep in the Round Robin Bar, while the Willard Room's continental cuisine (see also WILLARD ROOM) makes history today. This landmark's guest rooms and suites are a traditional blend of Edwardian and Victorian styles furnished in deep jewel tones. The Jenny Lind suite is perfect for honeymooners with its mansard roof and canopy bed, while the Oval suite, inspired by the office of the same name, makes guests feel like masters of the universe. 341 rooms, 12 story.
