Top Incentive Attractions

A visit to Washington DC would not be complete without a tour of the public rooms of The White House, one of the most prominent landmarks located near The Melrose Hotel and the official residence of the President of the United States during their tenure.
Continue with an evening visit to the Lincoln Memorial, at the west end of the Mall, to gain the most dramatic affect of Henry Bacon’s monument, which is considered by many to be the most moving spot in the city.  Its mood set by Daniel Chester French’s sombre statue of the seated president gazing over the reflecting pool with the 36 Doric columns representing the 36 states in the Union at the time of Lincoln’s death.
The Pentagon, headquarters of the Department of Defense, is an exercise in immensity where 23,000 military and civilian employees work.  It is as wide as three Washington Monuments laid end to end, with 17.5 miles of corridors, 7,748 windows and over 685 drinking fountains.  Weekday tours last 75 minutes and are conducted every 15 minutes from 9am to 3pm.
For those wanting to relax after business, the Rock Creek Park is a cool tongue of green jutting down into the centre of Washington.  With over 18,000 acres including picnic sites and biking, hiking and equestrian trails that wend through groves of dogwood, beech, oak and cedar, it truly is tranquil.
