2. Hyatt Regency Bethesda
City: Bethesda, MD
Category: Accommodations
Telephone: (301) 657-1234
Address: 1 Bethesda Metro Center
Description: This bustling hotel in the heart of Bethesda’s business district is atop a Metro subway station, so it couldn’t be more convenient. Both Washington and the surrounding suburbs are just a few Metro stops away. Rooms come with all the business amenities now standard at most Hyatts, including video checkout, voice mail, minibars, and a striking atrium-style lobby full of shops and services. The shopping malls at White Flint and Mazza Gallerie are only a couple of subway stops away (see our Shopping chapter), while Bethesda’s cute neighborhood shops are within footsteps.
