Cultural Attractions

World-renowned museums, music, amazing architecture and more! With Washington, DC's Choice Hotel you'll be a stone's throw away from it all. Take a peek at the cultural attractions the city of Washington, DC offers.

Woodrow Wilson House Museum
2340 S Street NW
Washington, DC   20008
202-387-4062

As 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson was a hugely influential figure in American turn-of-the-century politics. Now visitors to Washington, DC can learn about the life and politics of this powerful man in a setting as intimate as his own post-presidential residence, which happens to be the only Presidential museum in the Washington, DC area.

Goethe-Institut
812 7th Street NW
Washington, DC   20001
202-289-1200

The Goethe-Institut may be nestled in Washington, DC's multicultural Chinatown district, but the goings-on inside this institution lend themselves to a wholly different culture. Named after the prolific poet and author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, this center of culture is a cornucopia of all things German. Shed light on this often-overlooked culture by exploring the wide variety of films, exhibits, discussions, media projects and language classes that the Institut provides.

Holocaust Museum
100 Raoul Wallenberg Place SW
Washington, DC   20024
202-488-0400

Perhaps the most horrible tale the world has ever witnessed is retold at this memorial honoring the suffering which millions underwent during the ‘30's and early 40's in Europe under Herr Adolf Hitler. Permanent exhibitions lay out the grotesque chronology in vivid terms, and temporary displays make even the most avid visitor unsure of what he's going to miss. A sober destination, but well worth it, as viewers will walk away feeling inspired to live and teach tolerance for generations to come.

National Air & Space Museum
Independence Avenue at 6th Street, SW
Washington, DC   20560
202-633-1000

It's a bird... it's a plane... it's a... space shuttle? Whatever it is, it definitely isn't superman at this massive collection of airborne vehicles. Aspiring aviators will be intrigued and inspired by the exhibits on display, and architects both renowned and amateur will be amazed by the structure's state-of-the-art architecture.

National Building Museum
401 F Street NW
Washington, DC   20001
202-272-2448

Guests who want to learn about our country's architectural heritage and the direction it's headed will be tempted to stop in to the National Building Museum, whose name pretty much says it all. The museum heralds American achievements in architecture and engineering through exhibits, lectures, and educational programs. Adding to the institute's credibility are the books and quarterly journals which it regularly publishes, and adding to the overall allure is the price of admission - or should we say the lack thereof?

Smithsonian Institution
Funded by US dollars, the Smithsonian institution is dedicated to the preservation of... well, pretty much everything. Over 17 museums in the Washington DC area provide visitors and residents alike a chance to view almost anything from behind the glass: from art to industry, to African American History, travelers sampling the Smithsonian are sure to find at least one vein of interest, probably more.
