Nine suites make up the refuge that is Capella Lodge. Beach-shack vibes, chic interiors and unfathomably, incredible views make this the paradise that it is. Treat yourself to a stay in the Makambo Loft, where a heated plunge pool overlooks Mount Gower and Lidgbird. 

No guide to D.C. is complete without a mention of Le Diplomate. This iconic restaurant is always packed because of good reason. The Parisian vibes, delicious food, and impeccable service satisfies again and again. Our hot tip is to walk in scout for a seat at the bar, it is intimate yet exciting, and doesn't everything just taste better on a high chair?

Etto has it all. Wood-fired pizza, seasonally changing dishes, an amazing wine list, and delicious desserts. This rustic chic place is always bustling for good reason. While they don't take reservations, you can grab a drink at the bar while you wait for your table. 

Another place we would rather keep to ourselves, TCB not only has the best coffee in D.C. but it also has the best vibes. Nowhere before have we felt the saying, everyone belongs here, executed so well. Grab a coffee, sit on the patio when it is warm out, or chill on the couches inside and strike up a conversation with a stranger.
