Donovan House

Donovan House

Though a first-class boutique hotel would fit in well just about anywhere, it’s a pleasant surprise to see one like Donovan House opening in the District of Columbia. This is a town with a slightly staid reputation — but openings like this one show it’s an image that’s much in need of some revisi...
Mandarin Oriental Washington D.C.

Mandarin Oriental Washington D.C.

DC’s brand-new Mandarin Oriental occupies an unusual location, in the Portals complex, a multi-use site on a concrete promontory near the 14th Street Bridge, at the confluence of the Washington Channel and the Potomac Tidal Basin. This may mean it’s a less convenient location than som...
Palomar - A Kimpton Hotel

Palomar - A Kimpton Hotel

This is the sort of town that’s long on ultra-expensive luxury hotels, presidential suites, and restaurants of the sort that cater mainly to lobbyists on expense accounts. Few and far between are places that could reasonably be called “hip,” at least without unrecognizably stretching the meaning ...
Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

It’s fitting, given Washington D.C.’s French heritage, that one of its top hotels would be a Sofitel.

The Dupont Hotel

The Dupont Hotel

In a town as traditional as Washington, a little bit of modern design goes a long way. The newly redesigned Dupont Hotel is, in its subtly stylish way, one of the hippest hotels in the nation’s capital. It’s the only hotel on Dupont Circle, in a neighborhood better known for dining, nightlife and...
The Hay-Adams Hotel

The Hay-Adams Hotel

The Hay-Adams is as close as anyone can get to staying at the White House, short of being invited by the President. Originally designed in the 1920's as a residential hotel, The Hay-Adams has always preserved the ambiance of a distinguished private home. The 145-room hotel features 21 suites, some w...
The Ritz-Carlton Washington D.C.

The Ritz-Carlton Washington D.C.

Ironic in Washington D.C., a town full of French Neoclassical buildings, that the Ritz-Carlton would be a modern structure in glass and brick, with not a marble step to be found. Still, it's more traditional than its Georgetown sister — this mid-century institutional look is more familiar than th...
