DC: Riggs Hotel

travel 1 Minute

We are in DC, visiting Vlad and Dylon and staying at the Riggs hotel: second time for me, first time for Boris, and also, that’s his first visit to DC in general. Unfortunately, it’s the worst possible weather, so our today’s plans were already altered, but it’s still great to be there!

Not only we got special “friends and family” rate, but we were also upgraded to Jiniour Suite
Special upgrade:)
The gym is gigantic, and nobody is there on Saturday morning!

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.

    1. It depends. There is no such a thing as “American hotels,” even the same chain can be very different in different parts of the country. Riggs is a very upscale hotel(here you can find a little bit more about our first trip there two years ago) Since Vlad works there, we have a “family discount”, so I pay about 1/4 of the actual room rate, otherwise it would be too expensive even for me on my current job, when I am in the top 5%. 

      In the big European cities, Marriott maybe as good as in the US, and on the other hand, Marriott in NYC will be less spacious and with less amenities than the one in Chicago.
