The Dupont Circle Hotel

Dupont Circle and Embassy Row, Washington DC

Virgin rating

The hotel

Washington’s outpost of the luxury Doyle Collection, The Dupont Circle Hotel is every bit as slick and fashionable as a D.C. pad should be. Its address is enviably central: right on Dupont Circle, which leads you into downtown D.C., and then on to the political powerhouses that make this city a sightseeing classic. You can see some sights without even leaving the hotel though, with the bar and restaurant both framing Dupont Circle with huge walls of windows. At Bar Dupont, you can people-watch from your comfy leather chair or the al fresco patio, while tucking into light dishes, sharing plates, and handcrafted cocktails. At Café Dupont, those city views are accompanied by a French-American menu and a brasserie vibe. When you do venture out, your Dupont Circle location also means you have dining, drinking, and nightlife venues all around.

There is a very nice restaurant which offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. There’s also a nice bar which seemed to be very popular. We had breakfast at the restaurant both mornings and dinner one night. The food is very good and the service excellent. Our room was really nice. Comfortable king size bed and a very nice bathroom. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We loved the location and would definitely come back. Read less

I stayed for one night for business, but the hotel really exceeded my expectations. I was able to check in early, and was told my reservation came with a drink at the bar (which I didn't end up using, but the options sounded lovely!). The room was a good size, clean, and well-appointed. There was turndown service, which you don't see all that… Read more

I would definitely recommend the hotel. Read less
