Phoenix Park Hotel

Washington DC, USA

Virgin rating

The hotel

Its stately setting on Capitol Hill is just the start of the ‘grandeur’ you can expect at Phoenix Park Hotel. A historic property that’s been treated to an $8 million makeover, this has all the sharp styling you’d expect from a hotel right at the heart of this modern metropolis, just a block from Union Station and a stroll from the top sights and shopping. The splendour starts the minute you step inside, with its elegant lobby dressed in mossy greens, uplifting blues, and the sparkle of its shimmering floor, chandeliers, and gold-daubed sweeping staircase. The dining here is more rousing than refined though – with its snug Irish pub, The Dubliner, outfitted with bottle-green walls and emerald leather bar stools, and bringing you all the classics, including fish and chips, Irish Beef Stew, Guinness, and even the odd Irish ‘jig’.

Older hotel, clean, amazing service. Good quality sleep. But at the same time, does not have the WOW Factor. Proximity to train station is a big plus. Amtrak or Metro subway literally a 5 min walk. Love the coffee machine for coffee, latte, hot chocolate Great breakfast at the Dubliner, but would seek better for dinner/drinks

I liked the hotel very much, it is situated in a very good location, in the heart of the city. The room was comfortable and spotless. People working there are friendly and helpful. And a little extra is the free coffee,tea, hot chocolate opportunity on the 2 th floor anytime.

Great position very close to Capitol Hill, National Mall and train station. Nice room (in term of space and very clean) and easy access to the Irish restaurant. People at the reception are very kind and always available in delivering information.

Good location - near the union station and bus stop, very nice staff, and a clean room. On the second floor, they even have a free coffee bar and water fountain, as well as a nice place to rest. I highly recommend this place. The room was very clean.
