The Darcy Washington DC, Curio Collection by Hilton

It’s fitting that a hotel at the corner of K Street and Embassy Row expertly fuses what the two locales are synonymous with: business and leisure. The former surfaces through The Darcy’s swanky borrow-or-buy wardrobe service, the Haberdashery, which stocks a powerbroker-worthy selection of tie clips, cufflinks, and pocket squares. The latter is reflected in imaginative, child-friendly perks, like the gratis backpacks handed to junior guests upon check-in, plus a fleet of rentable scooters and bicycles. To that, add authentic local flavors—a recurring pop-up flower bar, where the blooms are sourced from an area start-up; a complimentary nightly drinks reception, featuring local Green Hat gin cocktails—and Siren, a nautically-themed raw bar steered by acclaimed chef, Robert Wiedmaier, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a world-class refuge.
