Celebrate the Holidays at the Conrad
Experience the wonder of the holidays in the heart of the nation’s capital at Conrad Washington, DC. Throughout the season, the hotel is transformed with elegant festive décor, sparkling lights and thoughtfully designed details that bring a sense of magic to every stay.
Families can embrace the spirit of the season at our bespoke Santa letter-writing station, created in partnership with Esterbrook, the iconic American heritage penmaker. Inspired by the timeless tradition of handwritten letters, this special experience invites guests to slow down, reconnect and share their holiday wishes in a setting filled with old-fashioned Christmas charm.
Esterbrook will bring the art of letter writing to life with specialty papers, beautiful stationery and elegant writing instruments during two special holiday activations: November 14, from 4:00pm–8:00pm, in celebration of the CityCenterDC Tree Lighting, and December 12, from 10:00am–2:00pm, during Santa’s visit to Conrad. These memorable experiences celebrate the joy of personal connections and traditions that never go out of style.
Just outside the hotel, CityCenterDC comes alive with one of Washington’s most spectacular holiday displays. The nearly 80-foot outdoor Christmas tree illuminates the plaza each evening, creating a dazzling backdrop for seasonal photos, celebrations and winter strolls. Guests dining at Estuary can enjoy sweeping views of the glowing tree and surrounding lights from the warmth and comfort of the restaurant.
Adding to the enchantment, snow will fall at CityCenterDC every weekend in December, creating a festive experience the entire family can enjoy. Just a few blocks away, the daily Downtown Holiday Market offers an inviting mix of local artisans, unique gifts, seasonal treats and outdoor shopping open from November 13-December 23.
Estuary will also celebrate the season with special culinary experiences, including Brunch with Santa and distinctive menus for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
