Statesman Hotel

Statesman Hotel is a 12 story building in the ruins of Washington, D.C. To access the majority of the building, you must go through Our Lady of Hope Hospital and cross the fallen radio mast. The building is inhabited by Super Mutants and Centaurs, but is a good source of ammunition and explosives.

The Reilly's Rangers squad (except Reilly) can be found stranded on the rooftop fighting off Super Mutants.

Behind the Scenes
This is a re-creation of the Willard Hotel in D.C. Every president since 1804 has spent time in the Willard Hotel and it is said that the lobby of the hotel is where the term "lobbying" originated.

Trivia

 * On the second floor of the hotel, there is a room labeled "217" and has blood and scratches on it, and is also barricaded off. This is a reference to Stephen King's novel "The Shining".


 * In one of the rooms, (sorry I can't give an exact location) there is a skeleton in a bathtub that is posed in striking resemblance to David's depiction of Marat, a famous painting of the death of a French journalist.
