Springtime in D.C.: More Than Just Cherry Blossoms!
The New Courtyard by Marriott Washington, D.C. Dupont Circle Offers Access to Everything from the Heart of the Nation’s Capital
Washington, D.C. — Courtyard by Marriott Washington, D.C. Dupont Circle (1733 N St NW; 202-968-7300) recently opened its doors in the heart of D.C.’s Dupont Circle neighborhood. The stylish, newly renovated hotel is tucked away among picturesque row houses and parks, giving guests a uniquely local experience, while boasting a convenient location for exploring the springtime attractions around the nation’s capital. With special overnight offers, the hotel is the perfect jumping off point to experience all that D.C. has to offer this season.
One of the most exciting and iconic springtime events, the National Cherry Blossom Festival, makes its much-anticipated return in person this year after going virtual for the past two years. This year, the festival takes place from Sunday, March 20th through Sunday, April 17th, with the National Park Service predicting peak bloom between March 22 and March 25. Guests are encouraged to utilize Courtyard Dupont Circle’s Ride on, D.C. Guest Experience Package, which includes a $25 Uber credit per night, taking the stress away from navigating the city. To book this package, guests must enter the code ‘TRS’ when confirming their reservation. Take advantage of the Uber credits & head directly to the Tidal Basin, where over 1,400 cherry trees are planted, creating breathtaking views. Courtyard Dupont Circle will also be celebrating the festivities with themed decor throughout the lobby.
Gorgeous springtime blooms and blossoms are dotted throughout the city if one prefers to avoid the crowds that the Tidal Basin draws during peak cherry blossom season. Hop in an Uber to the Enid A. Haupt Garden on the National Mall to take in the beautiful pink and white Magnolias. Or stroll through the Gardens of Dumbarton Oaks to find an abundance of roses, plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, wisteria blooms, and more. Thanks to Courtyard’s Dupont location, guests have the ability to enjoy DC’s many beautiful parks throughout the city.
While here, take advantage of all D.C. has to offer as a waterfront city. The Thompson Boat Center, located just 1.6 miles from Courtyard Dupont Circle, offers a wide variety of classes, tours and rentals to get out on the Potomac River. Join the Cherry Blossom Tour to get a unique vantage point of the famous blossoms and learn about America’s history while taking in some of D.C.’s most beautiful sights. Or to explore solo, guests can rent kayaks, canoes or stand-up paddle boards for a fun, relaxing day of paddling on the riverfront.
The Rock Creek Park Horse Center is one of the District’s best kept secrets. Located in Rock Creek Park, the Horse Center is the only public riding facility in Washington D.C. Among the services they offer are camps, trail rides, pony rides, and lessons for first-time riders or well-seasoned equestrians. The stables provide a truly special experience and a unique new way to explore everything D.C.’s historic Rock Creek Park has to offer.
After a day of taking in the blooms, or kayaking on Potomac River, return to Courtyard Dupont Circle to relax and unwind with a meal at The Bistro, located in the hotel’s lobby. Indulge in the Bistro Burger with aged white cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and garlic aioli on a brioche roll, or opt for Mediterranean Grain Bowl with quinoa, brown rice, baby kale, arugula, tomatoes, parmesan cheese and lemon vinaigrette for a healthy and fresh option.
