The Hotel Harrington in Washington DC
A New Landmark for the Nation's Capital
Downtown Washington, DC bustled in 1914. Elegant new office buildings rose amidst the 19th century theaters, shops, saloons, and newspaper offices. Nine department stores drew crowds of shoppers. A few blocks away, Washingtonians and increasing legions of tourists marveled at the wonders displayed in the Smithsonian's recently opened Natural History Museum.
Harrington Mills, a hotelier, spotted an opportunity. He and business partner Charles W. McCutchen built a hotel that met popular one-room-and-bath-demand, an unusual concept at the time, as described by the Washington Post. They set aside special sample rooms for traveling salesmen to show their wares to buyers from nearby stores.
Mills and McCutchen officially opened their Hotel Harrington, at 11th and E Streets, NW, on March 1, 1914.
Designed by the architectural firm Rich & FitzSimons, the six-story hotel boasted a dining room and two-story lobby with a mezzanine, all finished in marble. Upstairs, mahogany-trimmed hallways led to 80 rooms, all with running water and most with private baths.
The hotel proved so successful that in 1918 Mills and McCutchen doubled the size of the lobby and built a 12-story annex along E Street, containing a two-story ballroom and 100 additional rooms. The Harrington now ranked among the city's largest hotels. A final expansion in 1925, a 12-story wing with another 125 rooms, filled in the rest of the E Street block to 12th Street.
In 1932 the hotel installed Art Deco embellishments, including the stainless steel canopy, with back-lit letters, over the front entrance. Always innovative, the Harrington in 1938 became DC's first air-conditioned hotel. Late 1940s modernization resulted in reduced ceiling heights in the ballroom and lobby, and modern finishes and furnishings throughout the building.
The hotel has provided a comfortable home-away-from-home for its guests—more than 10 million of them over the years—as well as for its employees. Tenures spanning several decades are not uncommon, and many staff members have spent most of their careers with the Harrington.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Documentary
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the pre-existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. Named in honor of President George Washington, the City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District. Washington had an estimated population of 681,170 as of July 2016. Commut...

These facts might just change your view on Washington DC:
In 1983 the District of Columbia petitioned to become a state that would be called New Columbia
Why? One reason is that citizens of the district do not have a voting representative in the national legislature
License plates are emblazoned with the age old phrase taxation without representation that the colonies used during the Revolutionary War
More wine is consumed per person in DC than anywhere else in the US
The Arlington Ladies is a group of women who attend the funeral of every soldier in the national cemetery so that no soldier is ever buried alone
In Washington DC there is 1 lawyer for every 19 residents
For every US senator there are 74 lobbyists
You probably could have guessed that the Washington in Washington DC comes from George Washington but did you know that the Columbia in District of Columbia is a tribute to Christopher Columbus
Washington DC is not a city or a state. It is a special federal district created to be the seat of government
Remember how we said that DC residents don't have voting rights in congress? That's because the district was created as a seat of government and not intended for people to live in (although today more than half a million people call it home)
Ever since 1971 the district has had one representative in the House of Representatives but he/she doesn't have voting rights.
The Library of Congress is the largest library in the country
It has over 500 miles of bookshelves
A former Mouseketeer wrote Washington DC's song in 1951
The White House was the place of residence for every US president except George Washington
The US capitol building has its own subway lines
Underneath the capital building is a crypt where George Washington was going to be buried
And underneath that is a nuclear fallout shelter
8 presidents never went to college: Washington, Jackson, Van Buren, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, Johnson, and Cleveland.
The Washington Monument is the world's tallest free standing masonry structure
And the world's tallest obelisk
There is a grotesque of Darth Vader on the Washington National Cathedral
Other cities that have served as the US capital have been New York City, Philadelphia, and Annapolis
The National Air and Space Museum is one of the most popular museums in the world. It attracts more than 9 million people annually
Speaking of museums, if you ever visit you'll be happy to find out that most (over 100) of the museums and attractions are free
The capitol of the United States, Washington DC is a pretty cool place. If you ever get the chance to visit you should absolutely do it. But before you do, check out these cool lists:

Omni Hotel Room Tour Washington D.C.
Check out the Monuments while in Washington DC for the Citi Open!
While in Washington DC for the Citi Open, you MUST take a tour of the monuments! Before hitting the grounds for some tennis, I did a little exploring. Come along with me on this episode of TALK TENNIS to the Washington Monument, The World War II Memorial, The Lincoln Memorial, The White House, and The Pentagon!
THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT
One of the nations most recognizable structures – built to honor George Washington, the commander in chief of the continental army, and the first president of the united states. The Washington monument was once the tallest building in the world at just over 555 feet, but does still hold the title for tallest stone structure in the world.
THE WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL
The National World War II Memorial honors the 16 million people who served as part of the American armed forces during World War II, including more than 400,000 who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
Symbols of America’s triumph in the Second World War are artfully displayed all over the World War II Memorial, which also has a charming fountain at its center. 56 granite columns symbolize unity among the 48 states, seven federal territories and the District of Columbia. The columns form a semi-circle around the memorial’s plaza, with two 43-foot tall arches on opposite sides. The northern arch represents victory in the Atlantic, while the southern arch symbolizes victory in the Pacific.
One of the World War II Memorial’s most striking features is the Freedom Wall. 4,048 gold stars pay tribute to American lives lost at war (each star represents 100 Americans), while dozens of battle names and military campaign destinations are also on display. in front of the wall, a stone fittingly reads, “Here we mark the price of freedom.”
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL
A visitor favorite, the Lincoln memorial serves as a monument to Americas 16th president. A 19 foot statue of Abraham Lincoln sits overlooking the reflecting pool and the Washington monument from his permanent seat on America’s front yard
The Lincoln Memorial has been home to many defining moments in American history including, Martin Luther King Jr.’s I Have a Dream speech, delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in front of 250,000 attendees.
THE WHITE HOUSE:
While in our nations capital its kind of a must to stop by the white house.
The White House serves many purposes. It is where the President works and lives with his family. It is also the symbol of the United States to the rest of the world. It is where the President officially meets with leaders of foreign nations and hosts them at state dinners.
THE PENTAGON
The Pentagon — located across the river from Washington, D.C. in Arlington, Virginia — is more than a power center assigned to the defense of the nation. It’s a small city in itself. About 23,000 military and civilian employees work there, spanning 17.5 miles of corridors.
The World War II-era building is the worlds largest office building with about 6,500,000 sq ft
The Pentagon includes a five-acre central plaza, which is shaped like a pentagon and informally known as ground zero, a nickname originating during the Cold War on the presumption that it would be targeted by the Soviet Union at the outbreak of nuclear war.
It was on September 11, 2001 though, exactly 60 years after the building's construction began, that American Airlines Flight 77 was hijacked and flown into the western side of the building, killing 189 people.
Visitors can view the September 11 crash site and memorial; the Hall of Heroes, which lists all recipients of the Medal of Honor; and a display on the role of Native Americans in the U.S. military. Three sections of the dismantled Berlin Wall are also on view.
There are plenty more monuments beyond these 5 that we stopped at before the Citi Open! You could stay busy for days just touring the monuments!
