"This suites-only hotel was recreated from an apartment building, and the result is large spaces with kitchens. Near the Library of Congress, the US Capitol, and Eastern Market."
Michelin Guide
"Nestled on a quiet residential street in the shadow of the Capitol, this hotel is well-situated for seeing sights on or near the Hill: the Capitol building is just two blocks away."
