*Median nightly Chase Travel rate (fees in) for two-night stays across the coming year, for planning only. Chase rates typically run 10 to 20 percent above the hotel's own site; the Edit credits and perks only apply to Chase Travel bookings, and the price match guarantee can close the gap. Hotel names open each hotel’s page, which includes an affiliate price comparison: if you book through it we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. We earn nothing on Chase Travel bookings and take no card-application commissions. “Hotel site” opens the hotel’s own website, or Google Maps when we don’t know it; the Edit credits require a prepaid booking in Chase Travel.
The list and map below cover all 18 Edit by Chase hotels in Washington, each with its typical nightly rate on Chase Travel and a double-credit flag where it applies. Of those, 16 have a full year of Chase Travel pricing, and the monthly figures on this page are medians across them.
Timing changes the math more than hotel choice does: the citywide median nightly rate (fees included) runs from $451 in January to $763 in April, about 69 percent above the cheapest month. Sapphire Reserve credits are fixed dollars, so they go furthest when rates bottom out. A two-night stay at the cheapest month’s $451 median runs about $902, and the $250 Edit credit plus the $100 property credit are worth roughly 39 percent of it. At the four double-credit hotels the stack grows to $600, about 67 percent of that same stay.
The value end of the list sits below even the cheapest month’s citywide median. Eaton DC has the lowest typical rate of any Washington Edit hotel with a year of pricing, $290 a night (4.5 stars), and The Dupont Circle Hotel follows at $326 (4.5 stars).

One concrete play: Eaton DC has the lowest typical rate in Washington at $290 a night. Two nights at that rate come to about $580, and the $250 Edit credit brings the room to roughly $330, with the $100 property credit to spend at the hotel on top. Booking in January, when rates across the city bottom out, is likely to bring the bill lower still.
Four of the 18 Washington Edit hotels qualify: the Yours Truly DC, Vignette Collection by IHG, the Pendry Washington DC, the InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf by IHG and the Willard InterContinental Washington by IHG. Booking one through Chase Travel stacks the $250 Edit credit with the separate $250 select-hotel credit, up to $500 off a single prepaid stay of two nights or more, with the $100 property credit on top. The select-hotel credit runs through December 31, 2026.
January is the cheapest month, with a median nightly Chase Travel rate of $451 across the 16 Washington Edit hotels with a year of pricing, fees included. February and December come next, both at $521. April, the peak month, runs a $763 median, so moving a two-night booking from the peak to the cheapest month saves about $624 at the citywide median.
Per stay. Each Edit booking includes one $100 property credit, however long the stay, and it usually goes to food and drink at the hotel. On a two-night stay at the cheapest month’s Washington median of $451 a night, that $100 plus the $250 Edit credit return $350, about 39 percent of the roughly $902 room cost.
Eaton DC has the lowest typical rate of the 16 Washington Edit hotels with a year of pricing: a $290 median nightly Chase Travel rate (4.5 stars). The Dupont Circle Hotel is next at $326 (4.5 stars). The cheapest 5-star option is The Watergate Hotel at $432. At Eaton DC’s typical rate, two nights cost about $580 before credits.
Median nightly Chase Travel rates across the 16 priced Washington Edit hotels, fees included, run from $451 in January to $763 in April. Individual hotels span a wider band, from Eaton DC at $290 to Four Seasons Hotel Washington DC at $1,960 a night.
Yes, if your dates are flexible. Median nightly rates run $451 in January against $763 in April, a $312 per-night gap, so a two-night stay at the median costs about $902 in the cheapest month and about $1,526 at the peak. The $350 in combined credits is worth about 39 percent of the cheaper stay and about 23 percent of the dearer one.
