George Washington Hotel When Curtis is off the water, you might just find him luxuriating at the beautiful George Washington Hotel in historic Winchester, Virginia.  "At The George Washington, A Wyndham Grand Hotel the pristine beauty of the Shenandoah Valley has truly met its match. With elegant marble flooring, soaring ceiling heights and the original front desk, this Georgian Revival-style hotel, still has all the appeal and ambiance of a bygone era. Completed in 1924, we offer old-world charm, but don't worry, we're not old fashioned. Here you'll have every modern convenience a traveler could want. In fact, the hotel was fully restored in 2008 after a thoughtful $30 million renovation. Since we're found in old-town Winchester, Virginia, just one hour outside Washington, D.C., you can enjoy bucolic charm with none of the chaos of the nation's capital."
