The Pentagon
This five-sided building that’s headquarters to the Department of Defense comes into clear view from the river. You get a rare, striking look at its unique layout from the comfort of your hot tub.
Arlington National Cemetery

Teddy Roosevelt Island
Teddy Roosevelt Island stands in striking contrast to the marble monuments. Its trails and trees are a testament to his conservation legacy and his vision of bringing nature into public life. You’ll pass it on your way back toward Georgetown.
