Whether you are from the US or not, America’s capital city is an amazing choice for a memorable vacation. Washington DC is the place to go to learn all about American history and culture, and what better way to experience all that the city has to offer than to stay right in the city center! We partnered with the Sofitel Washington DC and Travel Mindset a few weeks ago to explore DC, and we’re excited to bring you with us through a day of our experience at the Sofitel!

The hotel itself, friendly staff and attention to detail are top notch at this 5 star property— and the location is walking distance from all the most popular monuments and museums in DC. Not to mention it’s less than 2 blocks from the White House, which is reason enough to book your stay here! Add in the amazing french-inspired interior, great views and delicious food and this hotel has all the makings of a great spot for a holiday!

Come along with us to see our itinerary for 24 hours at Sofitel Washington DC!
