Le Méridien Washington, D.C., The Madison sits in Dupont Circle, steps from the neighborhood's bars and clubs. Hours are not listed, so call ahead if you need a late check-in.

The vibe is polished but not stuffy, with 51 photos online giving you a preview of the modern decor. Regulars say the location is a key advantage: you can walk to the National Mall or grab a drink at a nearby lounge like Kimpton Hotel Monaco Washington DC .
