Hungry? - Presenting the declaration of indulgence by Secretary of Steak Jean-Georges, where you can stake your claim at J&G Steakhouse, a prime cut above your ordinary chop shop, or lobby your way across the Living Room, where cocktail caucusing is always in session.

Thirsty? - You're at the top of the world where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is served at POV, the rooftop bar and terrace starring spectacular artisan cocktail creations accompanied by custom-designed ice service, where organic libations as exhibition art create a new perspective. Or get down with it at the Wine Bar, where a robust selection of international fine wines invites you to proclaim this cozy chic spot as your very own adopted wine cellar.

A city stay is all about shopping, dining, theatre and drinks. DC has all that and more.

Spend some time shopping for funky home furnishings and vintage clothing in the Logan Circle/ U Street neighbourhood. Try on clothing and jewellery by local designers, rising names in fashion and international retailers in upscale boutiques in Georgetown, one of the city's most famous shopping districts. You may prefer large shopping malls such as The Fashion Centre at Pentagon City or Tyson’s Corner.

Enjoy a cocktail and catch a live jazz show on U Street, or head to the Adams Morgan neighborhood, where you'll find an endless variety of cuisines from around the globe. Live blues music pours out of Madam's Organ and salsa dancing beckons at Havana Village, while stylish crowds flock to bars like Chloe, The Reef and Felix.

DC’s theatre scene is booming. Enjoy a pre-theatre dinner at one of downtown's most fashionable eateries, then take in a show at the edgy Woolly Mammoth Theatre, the unconventional Studio Theatre, the funky Warehouse Theatre or the classical Shakespeare Theatre.

Venture across the Potomac to Fairfax County’s urban villages in Reston Town Center, Dulles Town Center and Tysons Corner.

The DC city stay has been invigorating, but now it is time to slow the pace, wind down and relax.
