Photo Essay: A D.C. Rooftop Pool With a View

July 20, 2014Filed in: Photos & Video by Mike Shubbuck

Wednesday brought the opening of the Embassy Row Hotel‘s rooftop pool and lounge. Located a block away from Dupont Circle’s metro stop, the hotel offers a beautiful view of Washington, D.C. Whether you are visiting for a dip in the pool or to enjoy a cold beverage, this rooftop provided a breezy atmosphere to relax and enjoy the city. The roof is complimentary to guests of hotel, but seasonal memberships are available (Capped at 20, members have unlimited access to the rooftop, plus one free guest per visit and exclusive discounts for hotel rooms. Membership is $500 for the season.). Additionally, day passes can be purchased for $25 at the front desk. But entrance is free for those who can wait until 5pm or later.

Below are snapshots of what you can expect:

About Mike Shubbuck

Mike’s addiction to travel started early. His family would often take meandering summer vacations across the United States. These trips gave him an appreciation of his native land, but a thirst for exploration outside of it. Always up for an adventure, he has been talked into skydiving, hanging over Victoria Falls, and jumping off cliffs. Depending on whom you ask, maybe he was the one convincing others to join him. His perspective is usually framed with a lens and he shoots video and photographs religiously. Mike is a lover of all things, but the phrase, “What is your favorite country?” has a special place in his heart. He is co-author of Create Your Escape: A Practical Guide for Planning Long-Term Travel, which teaches other travelaholics how to prepare for long-term travel.
