Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: This all-suite Washington, DC hotel offers a central location between the popular Foggy Bottom and Dupont Circle neighborhoods. Georgetown’s boutiques, cafés, historic sites, and picturesque canal are about a half-mile away. The retro vibe is unmistakable in this 1960s blond-brick building, from the blue columns that line the semicircular driveway to the Sunday brunch at the Circle Bistro. The clientele runs the gamut from families to diplomats to musicians with gigs at Georgetown’s Blues Alley.
Amenity highlights: Ivy covers the walls around the hotel’s landscaped patio and seasonal outdoor pool. Guests gather around the fireplace or on the plush banquettes in Circle Bistro’s dark-orange lounge. The restaurant offers creative American and Mediterranean fare.
Insider tip: Some of the city’s funkiest stores and restaurants are north of the hotel in Dupont Circle. Bibliophiles spend hours perusing the shelves at Second Story Books, at the corner of P and 20th Streets; the store also carries used CDs, albums, and prints. Fashionistas love the second-hand designer clothes at Secondi, on the corner of Connecticut Avenue and R Street. A half-block down, Teaism serves tea and Asian-influenced fare.

Dining
Circle Bistro - Dressed-up American favorites—some with a Mediterranean twist—dominate the menu. Highlights include Vegetable Strudel, Lamb Chops with Tomato-Eggplant Mousse, and, for dessert, Apple Beignets with Vanilla Sauce. Curved windows double as skylights over banquettes upholstered in burnt-orange corduroy. Glass panels separate the dining area from the lounge, a large honeycomb of spaces built around a fireplace. In summer, the space extends to the walled-in patio. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, Sunday brunch, and a pre-theater menu. |
