I almost forgot about this deal, but a friend of mine was asking about great hotel rates for a two night stay in DC and I came up with this offer from the Mandarin Oriental: stay one night and get the second night free, through August 30th.
That makes a two night stay run $175 per night, an outstanding deal for the newest luxury property in the District… considering that pre-paid internet rates can run as high as $299 at the rather blase’ Grand Hyatt.
