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.

Good bar, only problem we had was cold shower, reported it on day one but nothing was done so we had 5 days of cold showers, some people like that but we definitely like a hot shower, especially after the humidity in the city, so on checkout we were told we would get an upgrade on our next visit?

Whereas the location is unbeatable, the service of the hotel needs improvement. My rooms were not all in working order (leaking water, non working blinds, no safe in the room) and staff at reception desk are not aware of their loyalty programme and level benefits. Wrong invoicing at check-out.

We had a wonderful stay at The DuPont Circle! I would love to go back! The hotel is in a fantastic location. It’s very close to the Metro. DuPont circle is a vibrant neighborhood with world class museums and restaurants. It’s a great launch point for your trip. The rooms were clean and very comfortable with very good complimentary internet. They have a turndown service that I thought was a thing of the past since Covid. It was a nice touch! As far as food, our breakfasts at the Pembroke were delicious and deserving of the Michelin acknowledgement. Cocktails at the Doyle were a treat after a long day exploring the city. The bar is very inviting and staff once again, impeccable. Couldn’t have been happier with our stay! Thank you for a special time! Read less
