Frommer's "Among D.C's stable of wonderful B&Bs, Swann House stands out." Full review
Concierge "A tiny jewel. The 12 rooms in this B&B all have period details and pleasant decor, each with a unique style—taste (and budget) will determine your choice."
Insight Guides "Heavy on the romance, this bed and breakfast in Dupont Circle is also a gorgeous 19th-century mansion."
Lonely Planet "A dozen rooms are peppered around an exquisite 1883 Romanesque mansion, all just set off enough from Dupont to be quiet, but close enough to the action for you to get raucous." Full review

A dozen rooms are peppered around an exquisite 1883 Romanesque mansion, all just set off enough from Dupont to be quiet, but close enough to the action for you to get raucous, if you so choose.
Travel + Leisure "A nip of sherry from a crystal tumbler in this house's aristocratic sitting room may make you feel like a guest in a very elegant private home—and so you are." Full review

In summer, cool off in the outdoor pool, private behind a trellised wall.
DK Eyewitness "Sometimes described as the best B&B in the city, this charming establishment provides modern conveniences – Wi-Fi, private baths, and cable TV – along with personal attention."
Zagat "Housed in a turreted mansion dating to 1883, this nonsmoking B&B features 12 individually decorated rooms and suites, all with private bathrooms."
Fodor's "You'll be hard-pressed to find a more charming inn or hosts more delightful than innkeeper Rick Verkler and his staff." Full review

Time Out "The hallways aren’t cramped and the lighting is good throughout. The pleasant rooms, which vary in their color schemes, are romantic without being twee, and some have working fireplaces and jacuzzis." Full review

DK Eyewitness "The location is superb and the airy atrium includes a lagoon surrounding an island where a pianist plays."

Gayot "Located at Metro Center in the heart of downtown Washington, this hotel puts you in the thick of things; in fact, it is the closest hotel to the Convention Center."
Zagat3.5
"Pulling in professionals and vacationers alike, this "wonderful" venue... offers more than 800 "comfortable" rooms and suites grouped around an "airy" central atrium."
Fodor's "The staff here sometimes refers to this chain hotel with all the standard business comforts as a mini city, and with so many conveniences under one atrium-topped roof it's easy to see why." Full review
