Hotels Near Foggy Bottom-GWU Station, Washington DC

Foggy Bottom-GWU Station sits on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines. 78 hotels lie within a twenty-minute walk — seven of them less than five minutes from the station, close enough to manage with luggage.

The Blue, Orange, and Silver lines all stop here, putting riders on three of the system's main corridors with direct transfers across much of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority network. That kind of coverage makes this station worth considering as a base, and the hotels closest to the exit reflect it — the ARC Hotel is effectively steps away, with the Residence Inn, Hotel AKA Washington Circle, Melrose Georgetown Hotel, and Hotel Lombardy all reachable within a few minutes on foot.

Dining is a different story in the immediate area. Nothing is within a five-minute walk, so travelers who want to eat near the station should plan accordingly. The closest options are the Kennedy Center Circles Lounge at eight minutes and the Roof Terrace Restaurant at nine — both workable after check-in, but not the kind of neighborhood where you stumble out the door and find a table. Bobby Van's Steakhouse, Devon & Blakely, and Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab round out the picture at seventeen minutes.

Coffee requires a similar commitment. KC Café is the nearest at nine minutes, followed by Gifts & Cafe at thirteen and Bread Furst Vradenburg Cafe at fifteen. Guests who need coffee before anything else should either plan ahead or use what their hotel provides — the walk to the closest cup is not a quick one.
