Set on scoring a present they’ll forever remember? At CityCenterDC, there’s a standout gift for everyone—and we mean everyone—on your list
Editorial
It’s that time of year when we ask ourselves, what makes a great gift? Is it a chic object to elevate the entertaining experience? A winter-inspired accessory tied to a special memory you share? Or something a little unconventional that speaks to their unique interests? Perhaps it’s an opportunity to completely unwind, an excuse to put one’s everyday responsibilities on pause. (A weekend away, tucked under the Conrad’s 400-thread-count sheets, should do the trick.)
Here at CityCenterDC, the gift options—elegant, considered and always sensational—are limitless. From firework-inspired earrings and pup-printed pima cotton pajamas to sophisticated sunglasses they’ll be sporting for years, we’re stocked with presents aplenty for even the most last-minute holiday shoppers. Read on for a curated selection of our favorites.
