Was there several weeks ago as a second guest under s/o else's Diamond account with a suite upgrade. They didn't offer and I wasn't in the mood to fardrei a kup, so I didn't ask.  They did give me a nice suite and the pool was all mine at 6am!

Haven't been to any others(yet). Not intoxicatingly amazing, but very solid. I paid $200 a night and it goes up to around $600 in busy times. Probably worth the $200 but not $600.

I'll be in Washington next week. I see Distrikt Bistro is closed for renovations.
Is there anywhere else besides Elis ? Is Eli's as bad as it's reviews?
