Be amazed at the magnificence of the universe at United States Naval Observatory. There's so much to be discovered beyond our pale blue dot, from black holes and stars to planets light-years away.

You'll be spoiled for sightseeing choice when visiting Northwest. United States Naval Observatory is a good place to kick off here, but there are plenty of other fine places to appreciate. White House, Arlington National Cemetery, and Lincoln Memorial are not far from the out-of-this-world attraction and will top off your day nicely.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,027 reviews)

The room was well-appointed and modern. Loved that it has a shower and separate tub. I had tickets to Anthem next door so it was nice to literally walk 500 feet to the concert venue and to have a cocktail at Willowsong after the event. The Metro stop is a five minute walk away, and you can get to the airport or anywhere you want from there.
