Statesman Hotel

Statesman Hotel is a twelve-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.

Background
Although little or no information is given about the Statesman Hotel, it seems in the pre-war days it used to give guests a luxurious feel and as for the men a quick trip to the bar on the top floor of the hotel.

Notable Loot
Because the hotel can be quite confusing, the loot is listed from the bottom, up.

Bottom floor (accessible from the street)

 * Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor in the north-eastern room on the second floor, on a desk, next to a phone and 2 coffee mugs.
 * Possible Stealth Boy in a random loot safe at the counter near the entrance.

Mid Level

 * A Note from Little Moonbeam's Father, one way to get Sydney's 10mm "Ultra" SMG from Sydney after completing Stealing Independence. The note is under a skeleton lying on a white bed. The skeleton is located in a bedroom on the floor with the elevator going to the restaurant.
 * Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual On the top floor of the middle level (a floor higher than the door to the restaurant). It's in a small room off the hallway that leads to the stairs to the upper level. As you are headed to the stairs the room is on the right (interior side). The room will have plungers on the floor in the corner and a bookshelf in front with a row of desk lamps. In the bookshelf, lower left corner next to some Abraxo Cleaner boxes. Not to be confused with the locked janitor closet one floor below.

Restaurant

 * A Grognak the Barbarian is on a shelf in the bar area at the middle of main room. Next to a Sawed-Off Shotgun.
 * A Nuka-Cola Quantum is on a shelf in the bar area. Behind the counter. Near the sawed-off shotgun mentioned above.

Roof

 * Sheet Music Book near the music stands and chairs. It is used for helping out Agatha after you receive the Soil Stradivarius during Agatha's Song

Related quests

 * Reilly's Rangers

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, 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.


 * The Statesman Hotel could be a refrence to the Statesman Motel in VA, though not in DC it is very close to (posibly within) the game map.
