Perched above the 1,800-acre woods of Rock Creek Park with the flair of a
1920s country resort, the Omni Shoreham Hotel sits on 11 landscaped
acres, two blocks from the National Zoo-home to 435 different species
of animals-and four blocks from the chic Adams-Morgan neighborhood.
An ideal place for romantic getaways and family vacations, the Shoreham
is less than four miles from all the sights, including the White House,
monuments, memorials and museums. In Rock Creek Park, outdoor lovers
can walk, bike, hike, jog, picnic, rollerblade, play tennis, fish,
ride horses, attend concerts, and enjoy a nature center and planetarium.
At the Shoreham, the 18th-century, French-style lobby opens onto the
dining room of Robert's Restaurant and outdoor terraces, which serves
American cuisine, including steaks and seafood. Rock Creek Park is
just beyond the terrace. For quick snacks and gourmet coffee, guests
can check out the hotel's A Little Something or relax in the Marquee
cigar and martini bar. The Omni features a heated outdoor pool, fitness
center and "fitness kits" so patrons can work out in their
guestrooms. In addition, the Shoreham's 100,000 square feet of meeting
space is ideal for family get-togethers and business meetings. Guests
can check out picnic baskets and head to the Shoreham's gardens for
outdoor meals, or relax in a hammock with a book. Summer weekends
bring activities such as pool-side face painting, fun runs or wine
pairing classes.
Splashed with corals, golds and greens, the 836 guestrooms, many
with private balconies overlooking the park, feature antique-style
furnishings, coffeemakers, plush terry robes, minibars, movies and
video-game consoles.
Air travelers are just seven miles and 32 miles, respectively,
from Reagan National and Dulles International airports. At the Omni
Shoreham, families and couples mingle with business travelers throughout
this sprawling National Trust Historic Hotel of America. |
