"The W wants to blow you away, and it doesn't mess around." Full review
"W imbued the former Hotel Washington... with its modern sensibilities but retained the 1917 Beaux Arts elements."
"It's hard to get a better look at the White House than it is from the exclusive P.O.V. rooftop bar lounge."
"Located next to the White House, many of its rooms have superb views of the White House or the Capitol. Its exceptional service continues in a luxurious setting."
"In a 10-story Italian Renaissance building with beaux-arts trappings, this is a modern interpretation of the oldest hotel in town, appealing to everyone's inner hipster." Full review
"Ye Olde Hotel Washington rises from the ashes with a glaring, tell-all "W" on its brow. Thoughtful redesign plays on former grandiosity with sly, tongue-in-cheek touch."

Ask for an executive king room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking P Street for the best in-the-neighborhood experience.

"Fun boutique flair, at a fair price." Full review
"Located in Dupont Circle just one mile from the National Mall, Hotel Palomar is a Kimpton boutique property with a chic, art-inspired design." Full review
"This funky boutique hotel offers guests luxury accommodation in a lively neighborhood. The rooms in this converted apartment building are large."
"Excellent boutique accommodation with flat-panel TVs and CD players in the rooms, an on-site pool, fitness centre, stylish lounge and location close to the Circle."
"This modern, 10-story property bustles, especially late afternoons when patrons enjoy complimentary wine and hors'd'oeuvres in the sleek lobby."
"It is also the most animated thanks to a large, style-driven lobby and lounge, outdoor pool, high room count and the social scene whipped up by free wine social hours." Full review
"Boutique hotel takes arty schtick to the edge."

"Located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, this boutique hotelâs decor is inspired by 1930's French Moderne designers."
