Travel + Leisure "The sleek 139-room Washington, D.C., hotel is all about clean architectural materials such as limestone and dark teakwood paired with unexpected dashes of olive green and deep purple." Full review

Ask for a back-of-the-house room on floors 6 through 10, where views of Rock Creek Park and the Washington National Cathedral can be seen.
Lonely Planet "Cozy yet cosmopolitan, this hotel is another Kimpton property, the focus here being more of an intimate, small boutique than large funk-da-house hipster haunt." Full review
Gayot "This hotel combines the selling point of convenience with the fact that it is just far enough off the main drag to provide a quiet stay." Full review
Afar Magazine "Just a couple of leafy blocks from always-lively Dupont Circle, the Kimpton-run boutique hotel looks like a 1960s apartment building on the outside." Full review
Fodor's "Tranquil guest rooms at this intimate inn are nicely done with taupe, charcoal, and indigo furnishings, and some are oversized and have balconies." Full review
