BlackBook "Go ahead and kiss the furniture, your lipstick blends right in. Bright red beds are gorgeous, albeit suited more for romping then sleeping."
Frommer's "Rooms are spacious enough to easily accommodate several armchairs and a large ottoman... a huge mirror positioned to reflect the living room-like space, and a 10-foot-long mahogany desk." Full review
Gayot "With flamboyant and downright fiery rooms, this kid- and pet-friendly hotel is a haven of comfort."
Jetsetter "Playful city stay just five blocks from the White House, with retro fittings and animal print galore." Full review

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
