Washington, DC is a great place to visit for a cou Washington, DC is a great place to visit for a couple of days, but the big question is where should you stay? 🤔

During our short trip to the US capital, we stayed at @staygenerator which is ideally located near Embassy Row 👌🏼

This boutique hotel sits right in the centre of the city’s diplomatic life, and there’s easy public transportation access to the main attractins from here too 🙌🏼

There are both shared and private rooms available at @staygenerator Washington, DC but I’d recommend their Deluxe King room which is the most spacious and offers the best views. The decor is also pretty cool! 🛌

What do you think about this boutique hotel in Washington, DC? 🇺🇸

Together with Jamestown and Yorktown it forms what’s know as the Historic Triangle - an area of great historic significance in Virginia 🧱

I’d recommend spending a full day in Colonial Williamsburg so you can explore all of the unique reconstructed buildings and enjoy the atmosphere 👌🏼

Colonial Williamsburg is a must-visit for anyone w Colonial Williamsburg is a must-visit for anyone who’s planning a trip to Virginia 🇺🇸

The city was founded in 1632 and in 1699 it was named the capital of the Virginia Colony 📜

It’s completely free to walk around, and you can talk to actors who are dressed up in historic clothing which is pretty interesting! 😎

Have you been to Williamsburg yet? 🤔
