Why It's Dreamy: The Willard InterContinental makes a good home base for romantics visiting DC. The hotel is located on Pennsylvania Avenue, in the heart of the nation's capital, just two blocks from the White House and in Washington's downtown, business and theater districts.

Once a welcoming light in the shadow of Washington's old "Rum Row," the Round Robin Bar, with its polished mahogany and stately atmosphere, is the perfect place for a cocktail. The rich historic legacy of the Willard's venerable bar includes a citation in a poem by Walt Whitman in 1862, and it was here that famous orator, Kentucky Senator Henry Clay introduced Washington to the Mint Julep, the bar's signature drink.

For over 150 years, the Willard has been a major force in the social and political life of Washington, D.C. and its Round Robin Bar continues its legacy as a gathering place for those who comprise the very essence of the nation's capital, guests from across America and around the world.
