Kimpton Hotel Monaco Washington Dc By Ihg - Historic 5-star hotel in a former Post Office building with grand ballrooms and innovative dining

Located in DC's original General Post Office from 1839, this Penn Quarter Washington hotel features dramatic architectural elements including soaring ceilings, marble staircases, and a dome skylight. The Paris Ballroom accommodates 300 guests in the former Postmaster General's library, while the Athens Room hosts 200 with views of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. Kimpton Hotel Monaco's 184 rooms blend classical and contemporary design with French Art Deco furniture, plum and royal blue color schemes, and lavish bathrooms featuring acanthus leaf wall coverings. The onsite Dirty Habit restaurant offers creative small plates and cocktails in an edgy space with an urban patio. Located steps from Capital One Arena and the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro station, the Monaco positions guests near the National Mall's museums and monuments.

Pros

The building features original 1839 architectural details including classical columns and mirrored archways

Thomas Crawford-designed sculptural elements adorn the carriage-way arch, including the Freedom statue artist's work

The hotel implements extensive sustainability practices with rooftop solar panels and LED lighting

Complimentary evening wine reception and morning coffee service provided daily

Pet-friendly accommodations with no additional fees or deposits required

Cons

Valet parking is the only on-site parking option available

The surrounding Penn Quarter area can get crowded during events at nearby Capital One Arena

“I think this hotel strikes a rare balance, housed in a historic former post office yet completely attuned to modern expectations. The complimentary wine hour seems a particularly gracious touch, encouraging a convivial atmosphere. And for those traveling with pets, the hotel's inclusive policies should be genuinely welcome.”
