City Center and DuPont Circle (downtown DC)
National Harbor (maryland)
Reston and Tysons Corner (virginia)

National Harbor is the most convenient to patrons from Virginia, DC, and Maryland based on its location.  Check out a map and search for the activities.

Hi i have never tour DC at all , so I'm not sure where to start to look as where  
to stay or what it's like to be there for like 4-5 day's are my normal tours  
 
Areas ?
Hotels ?
Rates ?
Other sites to use ?
 I mean I know the normal sites to be on, just not sure there are more ?
   
Thanks Gina ..

Dupont or in the city is another, maybe do half and half.

digdirkler thanks love ,,
Looks like Tysons Coner & Dupont  are the most propeller area's after I did some researching around  
The City area I would think be hard to get around in and as parking for guest  
but if your a city person you would know how to get around !  

be my first visit so i'm just doing my home work...  
do a lot of the nice hotels have key cards  to the elevator or a doorman ?  

Gina ...

Not as familiar with Dupont hotels, but never visited one with key cards.
Dupont is hard for parking, but probably good for daytime lunch break guys, and metro (our subway) access.

Tyson definitely has open lobbies and hotels.
Tysons draws from a large Northern VA area, the wealthiest suburb.

Someone said National Harbor, which would seem geographically convenient, but I see few ads for there for whatever reason, and PG county is the most down market of the suburban counties. National Harbor itself is fairly nice but pretty mixed crowd with a good number of undesirable elements.

well I found my Corner .. loved all the help you all gave me so much  
Thanks Gina

Yes but National Harbor also has the PG Cty cops.  

so I went  to  looked on  the map
not ever been or know where any thing is  
so Taysons Corner in Va, ?  
Dupont is DC area ?
City Center is DC area ?

I'm loving DC all ready with all the  grate info that has been posted and pm's that have been sent and a few text
about the area ,Thanks every one  

now I just need to tie it down as the area ?  

well I got my hotel and air tanker care of .. So I'm Off The  White House lol ....
thanks for all the help now the count down to Sept.  just a little month away

Think of the DC area like the face of a clock.  The beltway sort of forms a loop around the whole area.  Tysons is right around 9pm on the dial.  Dupont Circle is downtown, about ten or twelves blocks north of the White House.  Probably hard to get around with a car, more cab and metro friendly.

I think Crystal City might be an option too.  Crystal City is the area just west of National Airport - in Virginia but still very close to downtown DC.

I think Crystal City and Tysons will have more hotel options.  If you have any questions about the area feel free to PM me.  

Not sure about any sites that are especially popular with DC.  I haven't found any, and lord knows I have been looking.

-be well-

Most reasonable: Manassas, Fairfax, Dulles-ChantillyReston-Stirling

One place that gets overlooked a lot id Crystal City in Arlington.  It is right next to National Airport so very convenient if you're flying in, there are lots of hotel options (2 Marriott's, Hilton, Hyatt, Courtyard, Westin,  and more, has its own metro station & lots of underground parking, some of which is free after 4:00 PM and on weekends.  Plus there are several food options within walking distance of most hotels so you could get along without paying for a rental car & parking while you are there.  

so meany to pick from guess next time I will have a better clue , being my first tour here I'm  
 going with what hotel area that  has been talked about more and see  the city some as well
