Yes, yes and YES!
For sheer uniqueness - with good food and plush atmosphere to boot - Indebleu (in Chinatown) comes to mind. If you're into traditional meals in a romantic setting, 1789 in Georgetown is it. There is a dearth of good restaurants near the Kennedy Center. I would cab to Dupont for Komi or Firefly and then cab down to the Kennedy Center. Hank's Oyster Bar is another contender if you like seafood in upscale casual surroundings.
As for hotels, both the 4 Seasons (in G'town) and the Ritz G'town are nice. The other competitors in town in the luxury category are Ritz West End (near G'town) and Mandarin Oriental (in no-man's land).
