Hotels Near Smithsonian Station, Washington DC

Smithsonian Station sits on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines. 48 hotels lie within a twenty-minute walk, the nearest about ten minutes on foot.

The Blue, Orange, and Silver lines all stop here, giving riders a single transfer point that connects large stretches of the Washington DC metro network. That kind of coverage matters when you're coordinating an early checkout or a late arrival — you have options without doubling back.

Coffee is the one thing you can reach quickly on foot. Castle Café is three minutes away, LeRoy Neiman Jazz Café four, and the US Holocaust Museum Cafe five. Dinner is a longer walk, but the choices are solid: Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse at nine minutes, and Central Michel Richard, Teaism Penn Quarter, and Elephant & Castle all at ten.

Hotels and restaurants land in roughly the same walking radius, which makes the logistics straightforward. The Salamander Washington DC and the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC are both seven minutes out; the two Hilton National Mall properties are a minute behind them. By the time you reach dinner, you're already most of the way to your room.
