The Madison is a great location for families, couples, groups and business
travelers who desire proximity to national landmarks and popular venues
in Washington, D.C. With a stately style inspired by James and Dolly
Madison's Federalist era, the Madison hotel sits only four blocks
north of the White House and within three miles of the Smithsonian
Museums, monuments, government buildings and nation's landmarks. Ronald
Reagan National Airport is a mere five miles away, and Dulles and
Baltimore-Washington International Airports are within 40 miles of
the hotel.
Opened in 1963, the Madison has hosted U.S.
presidents, entertainers and corporate travelers. Bob Hope was among
the celebrities and dignitaries known to enjoy many breakfasts at
this hotel. Civilian guests can also dine on contemporary American
fare at the hotel's Federal Restaurant or at the Palette, which
showcases American art and cuisine. At the hotel's Postscript Bar,
guests can relax in leather club chairs with glasses of fine Scotch
and bourbon and read many of President Madison's letters exhibited
on the walls. The hotel also features a fully equipped fitness center
and on-site shopping.
This Washington hotel's 353 guestrooms feature antique reproductions
in the Georgian, Federal and American Empire styles. Guests can
enjoy restful sleep on beds piled with down pillows and dressed
with 400-thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Amenities also include
heated towel racks, premium bath products, complimentary high-speed
Internet access and CD players, making the Madison a comfortable
and convenient location for a variety of travelers. |
