What was measured
Asking prices of hotels in Washington D.C. for one night for two adults, 82 nights measured from 1 November 2026 to 21 January 2027, read 24 October 2026.
- A month's median is the median of its nightly medians; the average counts every price of every night once, so expensive suites and villas lift it above the median.
- Prices in the currency they were shown in, never converted at an exchange rate.
- A hotel with no price that night (sold out or closed) is checked but left out of the median.
- Asking prices seen while searching for a stay: not prices paid, and not a forecast.
