Bhrubin scared us enough about the St Regis DC that we switched last minute to the brand new Conrad- it has a hotel within a hotel on the 10th floor called the Sakura Club- with a very nice lounge (and we are not typically lounge people) serving Taittinger champagne 😊. Excellent service- clean contemporary rooms with (peek) views of Washington Monument and Capitol and there is an enjoyable roof bar.
We also decided on Las Alcobas Napa for December.
