When you wake up in the room of an international hotel chain it can be hard to tell what city (or even country) you’re in. You definitely won’t have this issue if you’re staying at the Kimpton George Hotel in Washington, DC. This boutique hotel is themed around George Washington, and the property’s decor will remind you at every turn that you’re staying in our nation’s capital. 

The Location

The Kimpton George is centrally located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The location is unbeatable if you’re arriving by train or bus, as it’s just a block away from Union Station. You’ll also have easy access to a number of Metro stations, making it easy to get anywhere you need to go within the city. 

The hotel is just a 10-minute walk from the United States Capitol, and is also within easy strolling distance of the National Mall, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, and Ulysses S. Grant Memorial.

The Rooms

Rooms at the Kimpton George are decorated in true Washington style—you’ll find nods to the first president everywhere from the wall art to the throw pillows. Rooms all feature the famously comfortable Kimpton beds, a luxurious pillow-top mattress topped with crisp Frette sheets. 

Standard rooms are fairly spacious, starting at around 300 square feet. Families may want to upgrade to one of the suites, which offer 535 square feet of space—including a separate dining area. 

Dining

Bistro Bis serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner from 8 am to 9 pm. The French bistro-style restaurant is helmed by James Beard Award-winning Chef Jeffrey Buben, who draws in a loyal local crowd thanks to his three other popular restaurants nearby. 

The outdoor terrace is a popular spot in the summer to see and be seen, and the indoor bar draws a big post-work happy hour crowd. 

Price and How to Book

Room rates start at around $229 per night, and can be booked on SmarterTravel Hotels.
