"This upper-middle-range property is a few blocks from Dupont Circle, one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Consistent with Kimpton hotels' fondness for excess, Hotel Rouge incorporates shades of its signature color into every facet of its stylishly '60s décor." Full review

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
Fodor's "You'll be seeing red and loving it; rooms are a sleek postmodern tribute to the color, from the red platform beds to the red velvet curtains, chicly offset with gray and white accent pieces." Full review

"The 125-room River Inn offers great value. Its 450-square-foot suites have full kitchens and pullout couches." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The name is apt because of the remarkable view of the river, which is bound to put guests in a good mood after a tiring day of sightseeing."
BlackBook "Like the most sensible pair of dress shoes you own: pricey-but-not-too-pricey, classy, and oh so comfy."
Travel + Leisure "The all-suites hotel on a quiet street touts such special touches as full-size kitchens, coffee grinders and Potomac River views." Full review
Gayot "A boutique hotel with business facilities aplenty and sweeping city views."
Time Out "Once a family-friendly lodging that drew primarily government and college types, the River Inn was reinvented as a boutique hotel a few years ago." Full review
Frommer's "The River Inn is a comfortable refuge for all sorts except rabble-rousers. Most of the units in the all-suite property are studios, in which the bedroom and living room are combined." Full review

"The real reason to stay here is easy access to Georgetown on one end, and the White House on the other." Full review
