The Inside Scoop by our Local Expert
The Lincoln Memorial is a U.S. National Monument built to honor Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. Located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. and featured in many famous movies, this iconic landmark stands as a reminder of freedom, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. The Residence Inn Marriott is one of many hotels within walking distance to this great attraction, but expect to walk a few blocks at least. The Lincoln Memorial is almost always open and free to visit, so finding a hotel close is ideal. The Residence Inn Marriott offers downtown views, ideal for extended stays, has a breakfast buffet and is two blocks from the Foggy Bottom Metro Station. Expect to pay a bit more staying at the historical Hotel Lombardy located on Pennsylvania Ave and not just near the Lincoln Memorial, but the White House, Smithsonian Museums, and the Washington Monument. The views at night are well worth it. Stay close to history in any of these hotels ideal for school trips, tour groups and family reunions!
