Comfortable rooms with nice features like motorised blinds and wooden shutters. Soft bed and comfy cushion. Turn down service with chocolates was a surprise! Nespresso coffee machine in room was a nice touch. Location was great in terms of metro access and walkability to shops and restaurants. Starbucks just round the corner if you want a “normal” coffee and “emergency food”.

The Dupont Circle Hotel exceeded expectations. At half the price of the other hotels I considered, the room was small but very comfortable for two people. The design of the room was superior: there is no art in sight, but rather, the wall behind the bed is a mosaic of wood and metal leaf. Dropped ceilings with down lights at the entrance and window wall ingeniously create alcoves for the coffee maker at one side and a daybed at the other. Striped carpeting complements the leather day bed by the shuttered window, and the headboard is covered in matching leather. The marble bathroom features a radiant stone floor. All controls (for shower, lights, blackout shades, and--most important to me--the thermostat, which turns on and off without the customary delay) are easy to use and intuitive. The room was carefully and thoroughly cleaned and straightened, exceptional in an era of alternate-day cleaning. And when I'd forgotten to remove the "Do Not Disturb" sign, most impressive was the text message asking me whether I wanted the room cleaned.

The fragrant scent in all the public areas in and by the lobby. The welcome we got from the doorman/bellhop Donovan. The location. The heated bathroom floor and bath towel sheets.

Great hotel in great location - upscale neighbourhood with good restaurants and coffee etc nearby The Pembroke restaurant and Dupont bar are lovely - great staff, lovely food and drinks, lovely relaxed feeling with great service, lovely outdoor tables when weather suitable. Super-helpful staff in the hotel - reception team and concierge particularly so. Room serviced twice daily with bedding changed daily.

We stay in the Dupont Circle Hotel when we visit DC as it is invariably welcoming and comfortable. The staff are courteous and efficient, and the rooms are spotless and well appointed. We have everything we need; the hotel and the rooms are accessible for my wife who has mobility difficulties. The location is excellent; there is a lot in the immediate area and it is centrally sited on the Metro system. We enjoy eating in the Pembroke Restaurant which is a good place to meet friends for brunch at the weekend.
