Where to stay with 15 year old granddaughter in Washington, D.C.

We will be traveling to Washington, D.C. and New York with our granddaughters, ages 15 and 23 and are looking for recommendations on places to stary in both cities.

One idea is Dupont Circle. It's a great area to walk around in, with lots of restaurants and a Metro stop. You are also near to some beautiful embassies. My favorite hotel in that area is The Tabard Inn. It has some history, rooms are unique and pretty, and has an excellent restaurant. Depending on the young women's interests, also consider taking an Uber to Hillwood Museum, which has lovely gardens and a sweet museum.

For D.C., I would stay at the Wharf. Loads of restaurants, coffee shops, etc. and pedestrian friendly. There is a ferry landing and free transportation to other areas. We loved the Intercontinental Wharf, and I believe there is also a new Pendry that would be great for girls their age.

We used to stay in the DuPont Circle and Foggy Bottom areas but for our upcoming trip we are trying the Wharf area. We have a family member that lives nearby and says that the Wharf area is really lovely and a nice place to stay.

One note - for your group of 4 - there is a Hyatt House there that can offer larger rooms.
