Celebrate the holidays in the heart of Washington, D.C. with festive activities for the whole family and thematic restaurant features

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season, Capital Hilton invites guests to a special winter getaway in the Nation's Capital, featuring holiday lights, thematic menus, seasonal activations and so much more while also helping those in need within the local community.

Enjoy festive decor in the lobby of The Capital Hilton.

Guests of all ages are welcome to join in a scavenger hunt across the lobby for 12 carefully-hidden Nutcrackers to win a prize to redeem at select on-site dining outlets.

"The holiday season is all about creating magical moments for our guests visiting from near and far," said Paolo Pedrazzini, general manager, Capital Hilton. "We want every guest to feel the joy of the season as soon as they walk through our doors. It's our way of spreading holiday cheer and making this time of year truly unforgettable for everyone who visits."

Holiday Family Fun Activities in the Lobby
Guests are invited to embark on a festive scavenger hunt across the lobby level, searching for 12 cleverly hidden nutcracker dolls. Once all 12 have been found and photographed, guests can present their photos at the front desk to receive a special holiday prize, redeemable at The Grind or The Statler Lounge.

During the month of December, guests can spend time in the hotel's "Christmas Village," a dedicated space just off the lobby decorated with twinkling lights and seasonal décor. Guests can cozy up while classic Christmas movies play in the background, and young visitors can share their holiday wishes at a special North Pole Letter Station, creating magical memories for the whole family.
