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.

We stayed for 5 nights at The Dupont Circle Hotel. From the moment we arrived the staff could not do enough for us. Check in was efficient and we retired for a drink at the Doyle Bar. A very pleasant spot with an extensive menu and complimentary nibbles served with drinks. Tom is the General Manager of the Bar. A smart, attentive and professional gentleman. Breakfast at The Pembroke was perfectly managed by Christopher. Our room was comfortable and serviced properly daily. In the eve, there was a turn down option. I was really pleased to have a Nespresso coffee maker in the room. Beside the Metro, we travelled with ease throughout the city, however it was a pleasure to walk the area too….. Embassy land! We would love to return to The Dupont Circle Read less

This is a hotel that truly makes one feel at home immediately. Immaculate reception, my car was whisked away by the valet, luggage was discretely hauled away, check-in was done in 40 seconds and I was on to my room. This was the second visit to this hotel and I was even more impressed than last time. The room was immaculately done up, lovely living room with and all-inclusive bar, lofty and large bedroom, full marble bath with both shower and bath tub, fully stocked with luxurious amenities Best of all, floor to ceiling windows with a nice view of the neighbourhood and a heated terrace with very comfy loungers, making both the morning coffee and evening cocktail really memorable. A gem of a hotel tucked away just by Dupont Circle, close to all sights and venues you might be headed for. I warmly recommend anyone trying this hotel. I will be back! Read less
