"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

In full denial that our luxurious weekend was, in fact, ending, we took a chance and requested a late check-out.

"A "conveniently located" "favorite" just off Dupont Circle, this nonsmoking Kimpton boutique is sought out for its "friendly" vibe."

Ask for a back-of-the-house room on floors 6 through 10, where views of Rock Creek Park and the Washington National Cathedral can be seen.
Lonely Planet "Cozy yet cosmopolitan, this hotel is another Kimpton property, the focus here being more of an intimate, small boutique than large funk-da-house hipster haunt." Full review
Gayot "This hotel combines the selling point of convenience with the fact that it is just far enough off the main drag to provide a quiet stay." Full review
Afar Magazine "Just a couple of leafy blocks from always-lively Dupont Circle, the Kimpton-run boutique hotel looks like a 1960s apartment building on the outside." Full review
Fodor's "Tranquil guest rooms at this intimate inn are nicely done with taupe, charcoal, and indigo furnishings, and some are oversized and have balconies." Full review
