The Location at Kimpton Hotel Monaco Washington DC

"The location works well for families: it’s across the street from the Spy Museum, Smithsonian American Art Museum and Metro; four blocks from the Mall; and attached to the popular Poste restaurant, which has a kids menu"

"Located in the Penn Quarter, some of the city's top museums, entertainment venues, and restaurants are nearby"

""Stylish" rooms and suites are decked out in "funky", colorful decor and offer vaulted ceilings at this "wonderful" boutique property housed in a "nicely renovated" 1840s building – formerly a post office – and staffed by a "completely accommodating" crew; the Penn Quarter/Chinatown location is "perfect if you're doing business Downtown", there's a "great" on-site brasserie and animal lovers appreciate pet-friendly amenities (in-room goldfish upon request are a "nice touch" for those traveling without Rover)"

"The best rooms are the 32 Monte Carlos, which are nearly twice the standard size, but cost an extra $60; located on the second, third, and fourth floors, these rooms have huge windows"

"Located in the art-gallery-and-restaurant-filled Penn Quarter, the 182-room Hotel Monaco combines grandeur and hipness, exemplified by the six Robert Mills suites"
