Hotel restaurant
All-day eatery Lyle’s serves neighborhood locals alongside guests for every meal of the day, including brunch at weekends.

Or you can order more sizable dishes, such as such as fried chicken with Texas toast; 72-hour short rib with Alabama white sauce; rainbow trout with fennel and apricot, or spinach cavatelli. For breakfast, try a buttermilk waffle, smoked salmon on sourdough or a bodega sandwich with spicy mayo and crispy bacon.

Worth getting out of bed for
There are some obvious sights to take in on a visit to the USA’s capital city, but first there’s Dupont Circle right here on your doorstep – this residential neighborhood is home to some of DC’s buzziest hubs, whether you’re in search of indie bookshops, dive bars or full-blown nightclubs. Art lovers should detour to the Phillips Collection, where you’ll find an impressive assortment of Impressionist and modern works in a Georgian Revival building. Magpies will enjoy a rummage around both Eastern Market in the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood and Union Market, which has 360-degree views of the city from its rooftop.
Local restaurants
You may be in the capital of the USA, but that doesn’t mean your tastebuds have to be patriotic – take them to Korea instead with a trip to Anju, here in Dupont Circle. Also on offer in the neighborhood is a detour to the Mediterranean courtesy of Agora, which imports all the flavours of Turkey, Greece and Lebanon, with, naturally, free-flowing raki.
Local bars
If you like your venues to be several things at once, head straight to Alice DC, a concept bar dispensing Vietnamese and Chinese street food, with a psychedelic speakeasy on its first floor and a club with a patio for alfresco partying on the second.

Lyle’s restaurant is a lively neighborhood spot, catering for everything from hearty breakfasts and weekend brunches to dinners of piled-high small plates or more substantial mains. And on your desirable doorstep is the tree-lined residential district of Dupont Circle, home to many of the city’s best bars, restaurants and boutiques.
