Political Hotels

But in a fun way!

We know … you’re absolutely sick of hearing about the election. So we bring you a collection of political and historical events at Washington, DC hotels from long enough ago that you can enjoy listening without it affecting your daily life!

We have the scandal that made Watergate a household name, a hotel where Martin Luther King Jr. left his mark on the eve of the March on Washington, and the "safest hotel in DC" where an attempt was made on Ronald Reagan's life.

So turn off the news, throw away your “I Voted” sticker, and enjoy the best kind of drama – the kind that’s over and done with.
