Woodley Park

This beautiful green zone in northwest DC offers access to Rock Creek Park, the National Zoo and many historic hotels.

North of Dupont Circle – and across Rock Creek Park from fun and funky Adams Morgan – genteel Woodley Park was one of several uptown neighborhoods where 19th- and early 20th-century Washingtonians escaped the summer heat. It still boasts historic architecture, including grand hotels, plus the modern buzz of good restaurants with sidewalk cafes.
