Degrees Bar & Lounge - With exposed brick walls, black slate floors, and a sleek 25-seat bar, Degrees is inspired by the lounges of the 1930s and 1940s. The bar offers a classic cocktail menu with a contemporary twist, including the signature Fire Red Martini.

The Chimney Stack Dining Room - Undoubtedly one of the most unusual dining venues in town, this room is at the base of the 130-foot chimney, with a towering view through the glass ceiling. The room is designed for intimate dinners of two to fourteen people.

Amenity highlights: The building itself is the talk of the neighborhood: A brick 1930s incinerator has been reborn as a luxury hotel, with a 130-foot tower as the centerpiece. Although its foundation is in the past, the Ritz-Carlton, Georgetown has a modern outlook, with a luxury spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, and contemporary-style guestrooms with high-speed Internet access.

Insider tip: Stroll or run along the historic C & O Canal, a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The canal was a key transportation route from 1828 to 1924, and hundreds of the original structures, including locks, lock houses, and aqueducts, remain. The canal's towpath provides a scenic, nearly level trail.
