Try the Willard. One of the oldest and finest hotels in Washington. Dine
in late Victorian splendor where members of congress used to sit to
listen to pleas from lobbyists... in fact the word lobbyist came from the
fact that congressman had seats in the Willard lobby where they would
entertain 'suggestions' from their constituents.
