Pros

James Beard award-winning restaurant on premises

Direct access to Foggy Bottom Metro station

Private cinema available for guest entertainment

Pet-friendly accommodations with complimentary bowls, beds, and leashes

Cons

6 miles distance from Reagan National Airport

Seasonal outdoor pool limits year-round swimming options

“This hotel impressed me with its fresh, modern luxury, notably the well-appointed rooms that feature handy kitchenettes and steamers instead of irons. Its location near Foggy Bottom makes it ideal for accessing downtown D.C.'s attractions. What stood out most was the exceptional service; the staff clearly understands hospitality.”
