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.

I have never been to another Hotel where all the staff treated you like royalty. I felt right at home at the Dupont Circle, Hotel, and hated to leave.

The mattress on the bed was in need of replacement, it was very soft and had “dents” from a lot of use. Read less

Stayed at the Dupont Circle for two days for business. Second time I used this hotel. It was excellent in every respect. Location in NW DC was perfect for my needs. Room and service was top shelf. Highly recommend this hotel.

Came into DC to meet some friends and stayed here for four nights. The lobby was lovely and decorated very tastefully for the holidays. The staff was very pleasant and helpful from the moment you arrive and always greeted you accordingly. I upgraded to the 9th floor after the first night, because the first room didn't have a tub. The new room had a wonderful deluxe tub and separate shower and the room itself was more spacious and had high ceilings. The Doyle bar was very festive and fun on NYE and the Pembroke was classy. We also received complimentary champagne and fruit with a kind note on NYE, which was a nice touch. The staff from all the establishments were 5 Star. I will return on my next visit to DC. Read less

Stayed here for 5 days over New Years eve to visit friends in Washington. Stayed here also 4 years ago. I can highly recommend the hotel for some important reasons: (1) the staff could not be friendlier. From Richard the bellman to the reception staff, the f&b staff and the housekeepers. Staff is genuinely friendly and helpfull and well trained. (2) the location is great, very central, next to the metro and with some nice shops, restaurants and a great bakery around the corner. Dupont Circle area is also beautiful and safe as an area.(3) the hotel is in a very good condition and the rooms are good. Especially the beds are very soft and comfy. (4) The breakfast restaurant is very nice, good menu, very bright and a nice view outside (5) the bar has a great terrace outside when the wheather allows (6) the hotel has a decent gym with enough space and equipment ( as opposed to many other hotels ). So, I can highly recommend the hotel for all these reasons. Is there nothing to improve ?! Of course there is... the sound insulation from the rooms to the corridors is not really great so you hear noise from the corridors in the room. Especially with a noisy icecube machine opposite your door. I am also not a fan of open plan bathrooms which our room had. Even if you are a couple, you like some privacy. And the rooms that have a streetview are great, but the hotel also has rooms that overlook the backside and that takes away much of the charm ( we had such a room the first time we stayed here in 2015). Having said that, I would still rate this hotel with 5 stars as the staff is so nice and it had so much advantages that offset my comments on the rooms. Read less
