The Hilton Washington Embassy Row sits amid the global flavor of the Avenue of the Embassies, a half-block from the tony Dupont Circle and a Metro train station for zippy rides anywhere in D.C. Nearly all cultural venues, memorials and government buildings are a mile to three miles from this Massachusetts Avenue hotel. Outdoor lovers will find close to the hotel the 1,800-acre Rock Creek Park, which features hiking, biking and horse- riding trails; nature center; planetarium; golf course; and tennis courts. Reagan National and Dulles international airport are seven and 26 miles respectively from this Washington hotel.
