Morrison Clark Hotel

The Morrison Clark Hotel Inn stands at 11th and Massachusetts Avenue near the White House and a mile from the major monuments. Guests are less than three miles from government buildings, museums, memorials and other sights that draw hundreds of thousands of folks from throughout the world each year to the nation's capital. The Washington hotel also is five miles from Reagan National Airport, while Dulles International Airport is 27 miles on the other side of town. Travelers flying into Baltimore-Washington International Airport are 35 miles from the Morrison Clark Hotel.
Occupying twin brick townhouses built in 1864, the Morrison-Clark Inn enjoys spot on the National Register of Historic Places. Once a private residence, the Morrison-Clark was converted in 1923 into inexpensive lodging for soldiers and sailors. First Ladies beginning with Grace Coolidge hosted teas to raise money for its operations. Photographs of soldiers and sailors who ate and slept in the facility line the walls. Even today, the inn's Victorian/Chinese facade still features a Shanghai roof and Chinese Chippendale porch. As a tableau from the past, folks sip lemonade and engage in chess and backgammon matches in the drawing room as high society dines in the intimate Morrison-Clark Restaurant. The hotel also offers complimentary access to an outdoor pool, three blocks from the hotel.

This Washington hotel features 54 guestrooms individually decorated in neo-classical or French country styles. The rooms are equipped with balconies or bay windows, premium bedding, complimentary copies of the Washington Post, and Victorian antique and reproduction furniture. Some rooms feature high ceilings and handmade quilts.
The Morrison Clark Hotel provides families, couples and other leisure travelers with a great mix of location, fine dining and historic charm.
