The Best Silver Spring Hotel: Courtyard
Why: Proximity to the Town Square Area
There are three hotel options within a short walk of the Silver Spring Metro. Out of the name brand options we recommend the Courtyard because it is the closet to the town square area of Silver Spring. Regardless, the nearby Hotel Silver, and DoubleTree will usually offer comparable rates.
Silver Spring Neighborhood: Silver Spring much like Bethesda and will appeal to families and all types of travelers for its charming downtown area and abundance of restaurants. Compared to Bethesda the Metro is usually a bit further of a walk for most hotels, but the commute into Washington, DC is about the same at 20 minutes. Silver Spring is a suburb of Maryland just north of DC. A bustling urban downtown is surrounded with typical suburban developments, home to a wide range of people—from young professionals to families to established retirees. Located on the red line, this area is home to a lot of commuters, so traffic can be overwhelming. The downtown area is vibrant and comfortable for visitors.
Things to Do: The AFI Silver Theater and Cultural Center shows both indie and mainstream movies and hosts various festivals throughout the year and there is always a concert happening at the Fillmore. Looking for more culture? Visit Arts Alley where you’ll have the opportunity to view “The Windows on Arts Alley,” an outdoor sculpture by renowned sculptor Judy Sutton Moore. Downtown Silver Spring also offers a variety of shopping. Bikers and joggers will appreciate the proximity to the northern section of Rock Creek Park, and the Metropolitan Branch Trail connects Silver Spring to Union Station in DC.
What to Eat: Silver Spring offers a wide variety of excellent dining options. Grab a quick but authentic and delicious lunch at Big Greek Café and be sure to check out the specials. For something more upscale, visit All Set Restaurant and Bar for American classics and unique cocktails. Quarry House Tavern offers a casual atmosphere and stellar burgers but the real draw is their extensive and celebrated lists of whiskey and beer.
