"The larger of Washington's two Ritz-Carltons, this 300-room Foggy Bottom outpost offers the whole Ritz-Carlton package." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The biggest nod to modernity, though, comes with the second- and third-floor Sports Club/LA fitness center; its 100,000 square feet of fat-burning splendor and huge spa are open to guests for a fee." Full review

Michelin Guide "This luxury Washington hotel brings sought after amenities to the West End. The wood paneled lobby features comfortable seating and a fireplace."

"Despite its modest 1940s-era exterior, the Dupont Circle Hotel is in the vanguard of modern design among D.C. hotels after a yearlong, top-to-bottom renovation." Full review
Michelin Guide "A rebranding and extensive renovation of this hotel turned it into a contemporary gem in a can't-be-beat location."
Star Service "Parked in the midst of D.C.'s most vibrant social scene, it is a scene-stealer in its own right: a midcentury-modern hotel with a theatrical aesthetic that disguises its Irish roots." Full review
Gayot "Having reopened in 2009, this property overlooking Dupont Circle has made a splash as a moderately-priced property with a modern flair."
Lonely Planet "Part of the Doyle group, this spot is chic and glamorous, in a more contemporary and sleek fashion than the embassy row it sits near." Full review
Afar Magazine "Fortunes and friendships change quickly in D.C., but leafy Dupont Circle, with its charming shops and trendy restaurants, has yet to go out of style." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Truly at the center of it all, The Dupont Circle Hotel overlooks all the shops and restaurants around the bustling circle for which it is named." Full review
Fodor's "With its contemporary furniture, sleek color scheme, and clean lines, the Dupont pulls off Mad Men–chic without so much as a hint of kitsch." Full review
