Having the best time in DC and the cherry on top was getting a free upgrade to the John F Kennedy suite at the Willard Hotel❤️ 🙌🏼 The suite is a huge 1800 sq feet with a large oval sitting room, 2 bathrooms, a coffee room and views of the Washington monument. We were so excited and surprised that they gave it to us.. I guess it doesn’t hurt to ask for a room change. We had double beds and asked if we could switch to a king bed and this is what they gave us. 😍 Lesson of the day.. it never hurts to ask.
A few fun facts about the Willard Hotel - Abraham Lincoln stayed here for 10 days prior to his inauguration, in 1869 it was in the Willard lobby that Ulysses S Grant popularized the term lobbyist because he detested the people who hung out in the lobby of the hotel doing self promotion, VP Calvin Coolidge lived at the Willard Hotel for a few months after President Harding died so Harding’s wife would have time to make arrangements for herself.. As a result the flag was raised outside the hotel to signify he (as President) lived here. 💫
