It was here at the Watergate Hotel that burglers connected with Nixon's reelection campaign broke into the Democratic Headquarters, setting off a scandal that ultimately led to Nixon's resignation. Speaking of scandals, guess who lived in the Watergate complex during her storied tenure as a White House intern? No amount of presidential crisis, however, can obscure the fact that the Watergate is one of D.'s finest hotels.
