As our taxi turned onto Pennsylvania Avenue, it became clear to me that the Willard InterContinental was indeed at the center of Washington, D.C. What I didn’t realize, until I had stepped inside its carefully restored ornate lobby, was that the hotel was central to the capital’s social and political life as well.
Founded in 1818 and named after Henry Willard, who acquired the hotel in 1847, the Willard earned its …
