Hotel Monaco elegantly combines history and contemporary decor in a downtown, block-sized 19th-century marble building designed as Washington's post office by Robert Mills, who also designed the Washington Monument. The 183 luxurious guestrooms are large, some with 18-foot-high ceilings. A cute gimmick: At your request the hotel will give you a goldfish in a bowl to keep you company at this pet-friendly hotel.
