The Restaurant at Hotel Madera

"At the adjacent Firefly Restaurant, New American comfort food is paired with inventive cocktails like the Miss Figgy, made with fig-infused Hennessey"

"A "conveniently located" "favorite" just off Dupont Circle, this nonsmoking Kimpton boutique is sought out for its "friendly" vibe, a team of "helpful" staffers who "go out of their way" and "nicely furnished" rooms decorated in an Asian-inspired motif (some offer views of Rock Creek Park and the National Cathedral); the "excellent" restaurant, Firefly, and a complimentary evening wine hour are added assets that help lead to repeat visits, with regulars declaring the property a "hotel of choice when in DC"

"Firefly remains a favorite restaurant, enjoyed as much for its craft cocktails as for its seasonally driven menu"

"The laid-back and trendy restaurant takes its design cues from a fairy-tale forest, and pets are as catered to as children and bachelorette groups"

"Beloved by locals for its cozy back porch vibe, Firefly Restaurant and Bar serves a fresh, seasonal menu in a birch-lined dining room"

"This 82-room boutique may lack amenities -- there's no on-site fitness center and not much of a business center-- but the can-do staff, up-to-date guest quarters, jewel of a restaurant, and vibrant neighborhood location add up to a solid value in Dupont Circle"

"Located just south of a vibrant Dupont Circle, this tranquil hotel provides the perfect respite after an evening restaurant and club hopping along P Street and Connecticut Avenue"

"For anything else, guests must visit the Firefly restaurant, which has its own street entrance"
