Overview

Located on the verdant banks of the Potomac River, Channel Inn Hotel bills itself as Washington's only hotel residing on the waterfront. This means you have the choice of a room with view of the famous waterway or the scenic downtown area, including the Washington Monument. The spacious rooms have all the charm you would expect at a bed and breakfast and as you take in the panoramic views from the balcony, with boats crammed in the marina and Hain's Point in the distance, you might almost think you have traveled to the coast of Maine. Several popular seafood restaurants are nearby and the Arena Stage, a few blocks away, produces diverse plays. The Metro station at L'Enfant Plaza is a short walk away. If it is a romantic getaway you are searching for, this is the place.
