The Informed Traveler, in conjunction with our esteemed partner The Hay-Adams Hotel, is thrilled to announce our first Luxury Hotel Giveaway. One lucky winner will score a two-night stay at this fabulous five-star hotel in Washington DC. The choice of Presidents, international dignitaries, and savvy clientele looking to be pampered, the historic Hay-Adams offers guests the most prestigious Washington address with views overlooking the White House, Lafayette Square, and St. John's Church, the "Church of Presidents." The hotel is just minutes from the Smithsonian, Washington Monument, Capitol Building and mall, and excellent shopping and fine dining. The classic landmark has long been a favorite gathering place in the nation's capital. Like a distinguished private residence on Lafayette Square, The Hay-Adams boasts personalized service, culinary excellence and one-of-a-kind amenities.

One lucky entrant will win a two-night stay in a Junior Suite, a lavish and oversized guest room with distinctive views of the nation's capital. The Junior Suites at the Hay Adams have maintained touches of their original history-- intricately carved decorative ceilings, ornamental fireplaces, and balconies-- while also showcasing modern amenities and a superb attention to detail in their design. The decor is sumptuous, and guests are spoiled with luxurious Frette linens, goose down duvets and pillows, plush bathrobes, and exclusive Etro toiletries in the marble bathrooms.
