I've never stayed overnight, but have had coffee and drinks there. http://www.tabardinn.com/home.htm. One of my favorites galleries is very close by (in the Dupont Circle area) , the Phillips Collection. http://www.phillipscollection.org. It’s one of the first modern art collections in the country, collected primarily by one man (Duncan Phillips). It has some very fine work, (Renoir, Matisse, Georgia O'Keefe, etc.) housed in a very intimate gallery. What are your interests, aside from the obvious (and how much free time will you have?) That will help in pointing you to places you might like to see.
