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

"The four-pearl Swann House is a charming bed-and-breakfast in a quiet residential neighborhood near DuPont Circle." 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

Frommer's "The W wants to blow you away, and it doesn't mess around." Full review
Concierge "W imbued the former Hotel Washington... with its modern sensibilities but retained the 1917 Beaux Arts elements."
Fodor's "It's hard to get a better look at the White House than it is from the exclusive P.O.V. rooftop bar lounge."
DK Eyewitness "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."
Star Service "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
BlackBook "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."

"A "high-class" historic hotel made "fresh" with a "chic", "sleek" design, this "trendy" venue pulls in a "younger" crowd with assets like a "beautiful" rooftop bar offering the "best view in town"."
Gayot "Situated on Fifteenth Street in Washington DC, the W is the closest hotel to the White House grounds."
Travel + Leisure "The W Washington, D.C. Hotel is the place to see the nation's capital." Full review
Fodor's "It's hip, sleek, very cool, and just steps from the White House." Full review
