The two most popular areas are DuPont Circle (a short walk north and west from the White House) which has good restaurants, nightlife, and easy access to downtown sites; and Tyson's Corner, an office park and shopping mall area in northern Virginia that is near the Beltway and is more accessible by car. The Metro just arrived in Tyson's, but it is still a long way from being pleasantly walk-able. Both have lots of hotels, and clients differ as to where they would like to visit ladies. Many young ladies go to both locations.

Folks like DuPont Circle because there are lots of hotels in the area and it's Metro-accessible, although I've seen providers say they're in DuPont Circle when they really are a few metro stops away. It's as bad as some realtors! Also, Georgetown is a popular tourist destination but is not Metro accessible and parking is a hassle (and expensive), but I've had some provider friends who do fine there.

I often host out of Crystal City, across the river near DCA. It's convenient to people in the area (there are lots of offices around there), and is a short ride with easier parking. But more importantly, the economics of the hotels are usually a lot better than in DuPont Circle. Tyson's is a different crowd, and is an excellent option, too. Which is why many touring providers split their time between Tyson's and Dupont Circle.

Welcome to D.C. beautiful!

Violet,

There are numerous spots to stay in D.C./NOVA. I generally split my time between DuPont & Tyson's Corner about 80/20. DuPont is really convenient for all the gentlemen that work in D.C. and cannot necessarily drive out to Tyson's on a lunch break. However, Tyson's is also very convenient as D.C. parking can be a real hassle. I personally prefer DuPont as it's more convenient for me due to the vast amount of restaurants and shopping that is in walking distance, but some gentlemen aren't able to make it out to D.C. so I do sometimes spent a day or two in Tysons.

Georgetown is a fun and touristy place to stay, but I'm not sure that is the preference for the gentlemen who tend to work in D.C. It's not as accessible as DuPont.

*Note: I used to stay in Capitol Hill which worked out well and was always busy.

But I think DuPont is your best bet

Have fun in D.C.

Best Regards,

Kendall

I was truly clueless and now I feel like I have a decent lay of the land. Appreciate the virtual hospitality and indispensable advice!
Sounds like I may need to split my time between Dupont Circle, Tyson's Corner and possibly Crystal City,

Now it's time to research hotels/sublets.

Gracias!
