The Donovan House Hotel in Washington D.C. is a quick walk to the Convention Center, the lobbyists on K Street, the White House, Washington Monument, and 14th Street Corridor. When the weather’s good and warm, the hotel’s stunning rooftop pool and lounge offer welcome splash relief. For more formal dining at Zentan’s, celebrity chef Susur Lee and his inventive pan-Asian delights are right downstairs. Lee applies his culinary style and sensibility to cuisines from every corner of Asia. Here are a few dishes to whet your appetite: Salade Chinoise or an Asian crudo, Mongolian rack of lamb with a carrot cardamom chutney, caramelized black cod with miso mustard and a side of roasted Soya asparagus. Mmmm.
