50 Percent Off in the Washington D.C. Area at Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City

Book by December 31st and you can get real savings on a stay in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Just a 10-minute drive from the nation's capital, the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City offers posh guest rooms in close proximity to upscale shopping. Weekends through March 2009 are priced at just $169 per night-- an unbelievable 50 percent savings off mid-week rates. (Though TravelZoo points out that the weekend of Feb. 13-15 is already sold out at this rate.) Luxuriate in Frette 400 thread-count Egyptian cotton linens and terrycloth bathrobes. Hit the gym (or bliss out in the sauna and steam room). Don't miss brunch at the new Fyve Restaurant Lounge. If you must work, there's a 24-hour business center on-site.

PS. Your pooch is welcome.
