Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: The sunken lobby is a refined place to sip coffee or relax with a newspaper. Some of the original Beaux Arts details remain, such as crown molding and wooden columns crowned with laurel wreaths. Business travelers appreciate the large guestrooms with separate studies or sitting rooms, while couples enjoy the historic ambience and proximity to the Dupont Circle Metro, shops, and galleries.
Amenity highlights: Built in 1906 as an apartment house, this hotel is a member of the Historic Hotels of America. The intimate Chartwell Grill, named after Sir Winston Churchill’s estate, is known for its crab cakes and steaks. Wireless Internet access (surcharge) is available throughout the hotel.
Insider tip: The Phillips Collection, three blocks away, is considered the nation’s first modern-art museum. Duncan Phillips, grandson of a steel magnate, and his wife, painter Marjorie Acker, were avid collectors of Impressionist and Cubist art. Today, their 1890s townhouse-turned-museum has about 6,500 paintings, including Renoir’s famous Luncheon of the Boating Party.

Damask bedspreads, paisley drapes, and dark-wood furniture set a dignified tone. Bathrooms feature British Gilchrist & Soames toiletries on marble vanities.
Wireless and dial-up Internet access are available (surcharges). All guestrooms have refrigerators. Windows open on all but the second floor.
