Great location in downtown DC. Nice and historic - it is made from 3 1880's row houses and converted to a hotel. It has a very nice upscale restaurant, which seems quite popular with the locals.

Don’t get me wrong.., I loved the Tabard Inn. But I acknowledge it’s not for everyone. I liked the eccentricities, the coziness, the charm. Having studied Chaucer I relished in the references to his pilgrims. The military history connections were fascinating. And the staff … the most hospitable anywhere. The restaurant was on par with any we had experienced in DC, including The Palm. And the coffee was the best anywhere. Sure we had to get used to the memory foam mattresses. But this was easily offset by all the extras that made our trip to DC so memorable.

Stayed here for one night and thought this was a unique place to stay. It is full of interesting art and antiques. There are many sections of the restaurant which are all different and worth sering. The food is really great and service is too. The room we had was very comfortable especially the bed. This is a place that does not have elevators, television or multiple electrical outlets for devices. It is a place you don't need these things. It is meant to be a getaway and place to be comfortable with friends and loved ones. Explore the area. There is plenty to do.

Had a great stay at the Tabard Inn on a recent business trip to DC! I really enjoyed the old style of the building, eclectic decor, and artwork. Dining at the restaurant each night and for breakfast in the morning was very convenient and the meals were excellent! Highly recommend if you are looking for a different kind of stay in the city!

Staying at the Tabard Inn is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. This historic gem is full of character, charm, and personality—you can feel the history the moment you walk through the door. I absolutely loved the eclectic art throughout the property. Every corner feels thoughtfully curated, making it as much an experience as it is a place to stay. It’s warm, inviting, and refreshingly different from typical hotels. It’s important to note—this is not your standard modern hotel. There’s no central air or heat, and no elevator, but honestly, that’s part of the charm. If you appreciate unique, historic spaces, you’ll find it adds to the authenticity rather than detracts from it. And the bulldogs? An unexpected and delightful touch that made the stay even more memorable. The breakfast is simply amazing—fresh, delicious, and the perfect way to start your day in DC. If you’re looking for something unique, cozy, and full of personality, the Tabard Inn is an absolute treat.

A great alternative to all of the boring DC hotels. A great old hotel with vintage rooms. Glad this option came up on my search.
