- Washington, USA
A grand yet intimate Washington address where attentive staff anticipate your needs before you voice them, the colonial Book Room invites quiet lounging among signed volumes, the Quill Bar rewards nightcaps with expertly crafted drinks, and the Greenhouse serves cast-iron baked eggs at weekend brunch beneath a breakfast room guests describe as stunningly beautiful.
- Washington, USA
Guests return again and again to this warmly run DC townhouse, drawn back by the owner's habit of sitting down at the communal breakfast table to chat, Raymond's daily-changing home-cooked dishes, rooms furnished with unique pieces and hand-done artwork, and the unbeatable convenience of being just steps from the Woodley Park Metro.
- Washington, USA
A privately owned Georgetown bolthole with a lovely garden patio, well-appointed rooms that open onto outdoor views, and a breakfast of pastries, English muffins and good coffee that guests have enjoyed on a private terrace, though the self-serve, code-entry setup and occasional lapses in staffing mean it leans closer to a well-dressed Airbnb than a polished boutique hotel.
- Washington, USA
A quietly tucked-away retreat off M Street, Canal House wins over discerning visitors with its cool library, inviting outdoor patio, top-floor balcony, complimentary morning coffee, and a front desk team, Jesse in particular, whose warmth and readiness to help make the difference between a pleasant stay and one guests are eager to repeat.
- Washington, USA
Tucked into a quiet, walkable pocket near Dupont Circle, the Lyle charms with its old-time exterior, spacious and comfortable rooms, and a welcoming bar perfect for unwinding, though a few guests have noted inconsistent service at breakfast and an undisclosed amenities fee that may catch you off guard at checkout.
- Washington, USA
The Morrison-Clark has real charm in its quiet, historic rooms and a lovely inner courtyard with a fountain, and staff who answer the phone directly and handle room changes graciously, though inconsistent housekeeping and a few missing basics mean it rewards guests who go in with open eyes rather than high expectations.
- Washington, USA
Maison Dupont trades on period charm and intimate scale, guests praise its small, well-furnished rooms, historic bones, and thoughtful arrivals, but the no-staff model, recurring maintenance failures (faulty toilets, ceiling lights, fire alarms), and reports of odours and bugs undermine the warmth it aims for, leaving it pleasantly characterful rather than truly restful.
- Washington, USA
With notably attentive staff, Sherin and Patrick among those singled out by name, quiet, carpeted rooms that shut out corridor noise, and an in-room dinner service swift enough to impress a returning concert performer, Hotel Lombardy offers a charming, if somewhat dated, old-world character in a well-placed Washington setting, though night-staff manners and pricing without breakfast may give the discerning traveller pause.
- Washington, USA
Clean, quietly efficient, and set within the historic Gallaudet University campus, this no-frills conference hotel wins families over with spotlessly kept rooms, a friendly front desk, complimentary water and fruit in the lobby, and a handy shuttle to Union Station, though the paid parking, unreliable shuttle timings, and à la carte breakfast at twenty dollars a head mean it suits the practically minded traveller rather than anyone seeking indulgence.
