Top 33 Magical Destinations To Visit In Your Lifetime

Washington, D.C.

Politics aside, there are plenty of reasons to visit the nation’s capital this year. Opened last fall, the Wharf—a $2 billion, mile-long development along the Potomac—is bringing new life to the riverfront with a new hotel by InterContinental, the Anthem concert venue designed by the Rockwell Group, and more than 75 shops and restaurants. Meanwhile, a culinary renaissance has been quietly taking place and was validated in 2016, when the Michelin Guide launched its first D.C. guide, bestowing stars upon the city’s best restaurants. Stay at the Line, the just-opened hotel by the hitmakers behind New York’s NoMad Hotel, the Line in L.A., and the Freehand hotels throughout the U.S. Activists will have a hip new place to gather later this year, when Eaton Workshop launches its hotel/co-working space aimed at social progressives.
