OVER THE TOP GIRLS’ GETAWAY:
Take Over the Swann House
An 1883 Mansion all to yourselves with all-inclusive champagne breakfast, welcome reception, shopping, yoga, makeovers, massages and jazz clubs
It’s just you and your closest friends. Living in the lap of luxury in an 1883 mansion in the heart of DC! Enjoy all the amenities of the historic Swann House as you takeover the 12-room Inn, while the entire staff is at your beck-and-call. No other guests. Just your girl group! Or, if you don’t need the entire mansion, book at least 8 rooms and make the others jealous.
The Swann House has your entire 3-day itinerary planned with plenty of activities for getting pampered and spoiled. This renovated 1883 mansion bathes its guests in luxury in parlors with 12-foot ceilings, crown moldings, inlaid wood floors, crystal chandeliers, and elaborate fireplace mantels. The Swann House sits amid dozens of colorful shops, restaurants and plenty of nightlife and activity in and around historic Dupont Circle.
Guestrooms at Swann House are decorated with rich colors and luxurious fabrics creating a warm, relaxing atmosphere. Every guestroom is appointed with sumptuous robes, luxurious bath amenities, sateen sheets and down pillows, featherbeds, hair dryers, irons and Internet access (but leave your laptop home for this one!).
Day 1: Arrival & Welcome reception
On your first day, celebrate your friendships and this historic getaway with a private welcome cocktail party complete with wine and hors d’ oeuvres hosted by the Swann House owners.
Day 2: Gourmet breakfast, Yoga, shopping, makeover, cocktails, dinner and dancing at jazz clubs
Enjoy a gourmet breakfast while sporting your new luxurious robe (yours to keep). Then, kick off the day with a private yoga class for you and your friends right at the inn. Spend the afternoon shopping among the trendy boutiques, after which you’ll return to the Inn and relax with afternoon refreshments. Then, before your girls’ night on the town, treat your group to professional makeovers by Celebrity Makeup Artist Michael Pierce of Distinctive Lifestyles. Be pampered by someone who has made the red carpet beautiful at such events as the Academy Awards, Golden Globes and Fashion week. Enjoy a bottle of champagne as you all get professional makeovers and your own take-home make-up bag stocked with the finest cosmetics, a retail value of over $140.00. Take a group photo and capture the new you before you head out to U Street to the ultra trendy Tabaq (1336 U Street) for cocktails and scenic views of the Washington Monument and Capital. Be sure to save room for dinner because you will enjoy a lavish specially prepared dinner by Chef Luigi at the nearby Al Cristino (1324 U Street). The meal is a delight to your senses starting with a glass of wine, appetizer, entrée, and dessert. Work off those calories as you dance the night away at several of the area’s famous jazz clubs. Starting with the Bohemian Caverns on U Street
http://www.bohemiancaverns.com/, former hosts of Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington to name a few on to the Twins Jazz Club (also on U Street) for “the Finest Jazz” (http://www.twinnsjazz.com/). For last call, you will not want to miss the Blues Alley Supper Club, which was voted The Nation’s finest Jazz and Supper Club by the New York Times (http://www.bluesalley.com/).
Day 3: Champagne breakfast, massage and historic Dupont Circle
Your group is encouraged to sleep in on your final day, since you’ll all be returning to the harsh realities of the real world – jobs, families, kids, houses to clean, dinners to prepare. Then indulge yourselves one last time with a champagne breakfast. Top off your weekend with 30-minute in-room massages for the whole group. Once you schedule your massage (which is included), enjoy a self-guided tour of Dupont Circle. Your group will be charmed by the neighborhood's unique blend of international tone, think tank sophistication, and casual lifestyle. Dupont Circle/Kalorama was once the fashionable address for Gilded Age tycoons, diplomats, politicians, and sophisticated socialites. Between the end of the 19th century and World War I (1914-1918) they flaunted their wealth and status by building grand winter mansions and town homes around the neighborhood's centerpiece circle. The Great Depression of the 1930s brought many changes to the area, but the splendid residences remain. Today they are homes to embassies, social clubs, private offices and institutions — not to mention time machines straight back to a lavish past.

And mix in a little culture with a stroll through The Phillips Collection Museum, America's first museum of modern art, and the Dupont Circle Gallery Walk.
Don’t forget to hit the eclectic shops for those little trinkets as a reminder of your ultimate girls’ getaway. Book ahead for next year and make it annual getaway.
