Anyone who wishes to visit Washington DC but wants to avoid the crowds is recommended to take a look at a Chevy Chase hotel in Bethesda, a city found just on the outskirts of the American capital. Bethesda has developed a lot in the past 25 years, but it is still a very quiet suburb. Therefore, businesspeople and leisure travelers alike can get all the comfort they need here, along with all the necessary amenities.

Many tourists wanting to see the sights in Washington DC can base themselves in Bethesda and see the monuments and memorials associated with the political heart of the country. Bethesda is connected to Washington DC via the Metro, so no matter in which Chevy Chase hotel you decide to stay, you will always be close to the points of interest of the capital. As an alternative, you can get into Bethesda by bus, car or bicycle. The downtown area of the city is not too big, so you can actually cross it on foot. However, in order to get around the other neighborhoods of Bethesda, you will need to take either the bus or a car.

The National Institutes of Health, one of the main landmarks of Bethesda, concentrates mostly on bio-research for the U.S. government. Since 9/11, non-employees are not allowed to enter the facility, but you can still admire the mammoth buildings from a distance. In particular, the main building looks amazing if you view it from Wisconsin Avenue. The Madonna of the Trail statue is the other important landmark of the city. The monument measures sixteen feet, so it is difficult to miss.

Strathmore Hall is famous for the impressive acoustics and for the great location. You are highly recommended to attend a concert here, if you get the chance. The schedule includes everything from classical music to kids' shows and also rock concerts. It is difficult not to find something that suits your taste here. The hall is very conveniently placed, as there is a metro station very close to the facility.

Bethesda is a pleasant destination for music lovers. From May to July, there are two free weekly concerts. On the other hand, if you love movies, then you should attend one at Bethesda Outdoor Movies. These are at 9 pm each day of the week and the movies are usually suitable for the entire family, so you can safely take the kids with you. This makes for an enjoyable family outing before returning to your Chevy Chase hotel.

There are a couple of shopping malls in the city, but you may be more interested in the restaurants. In fact, Bethesda represents Maryland's main destination for wining and dining and the number of restaurants found here is really impressive. With more than 180 options to pick from, it is extremely unlikely that you won't find something to your taste. People who are into ethnic cuisine will consider this city a part of heaven, as you can find everything here from Thai and Indian food to Japanese and Italian dishes. Seafood lovers are not neglected either and there is a wide range of restaurants that focus on such dishes.

The pubs and bars of Bethesda are also something to talk about. Some of them feature dance floors, so you can have a really good time. Others are famous for having the best wine lists. Also, there are several sports bars where you can watch the games of your favorite team, along with your friends. Fans of Irish beer or of beers on tap will find everything they could want. If the weather is fine, you can spend a lot of time in the area for outdoor seating.

Back in your room at the Chevy Chase hotel, you will find many amenities that assure great comfort. Some of the hotels feature pools where you can swim for hours, or fitness centers where you can work out, in order to stay in shape. Business travelers can rest assured, because many of the hotels feature convention facilities or at least business centers where companies can easily hold meetings or training sessions. Bethesda has the advantage of being quiet, while also providing everything that travelers need, regardless if they travel for business or for pleasure.
