General Information
What to expect: Corporate and leisure travelers and parents of Georgetown or George Washington University students frequent this 10-story white-brick hotel housed in a renovated 1960s apartment building. Light, rich colors and natural elements are used to create a Zen landscape throughout the hotel, with bamboo groves, sand-textured walls, and Tibetan wool carpets covering granite floors. The decor is fittingly hip in Dupont Circle, one of the city’s most popular areas. Jazz wafts through the long glass-and-wood lobby, and velvet-paneled elevators have copper-tiled ceilings.
Amenity highlights: Firefly, Madera’s 85-seat restaurant, provides a bright backdrop for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or cocktails at the curved wooden, backlit bar. The hotel hosts a nightly evening wine reception, and pets receive complimentary treats in guestrooms. Complimentary coffee is served in the morning and cookies and milk are offered each evening. Complimentary apples are available all day.
Insider tip: Some of the city’s funkiest stores and restaurants are north of the hotel in Dupont Circle. Bibliophiles peruse the shelves for used books at Second Story Books, three blocks away. Six blocks from the hotel, Secondi sells second-hand designer clothes and Teaism serves tea and Asian-influenced fare.
