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’.

We selected the Phoenix Park Hotel because of its location near Union Station but will choose it again because of the atmosphere and staff. We arrived midday by Amtrak and stopped to see if we could store our luggage until checkin. We were surprised that we were offered to go ahead and check in because they already had a room ready.

We selected the Phoenix Park Hotel because of its location near Union Station but will choose it again because of the atmosphere and staff. We arrived midday by Amtrak and stopped to see if we could store our luggage until checkin. We were surprised that we were offered to go ahead and check in because they already had a room ready. The front desk staff was professional and helpful throughout our stay. The coffee bar on the second floor was such a treat and available around the clock. The room was small but nicely decorated, very clean, comfortable and charming. We loved our view looking towards Union Station. As a bonus the Dubliner restaurant connected to the hotel lobby was great for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We ate there 3 times during our stay and the food and service were great. Read less

We stayed at this hotel in July of 2024. Not really much to say except that the staff were very nice, room was large and very clean and the location was walkable to most areas we were hoping to see.

We stayed at this hotel in July of 2024. Not really much to say except that the staff were very nice, room was large and very clean and the location was walkable to most areas we were hoping to see. Most areas within a mile. We used valet, which was fast and easy. As for the attached restaurant, not so good. We were offered two free drink tickets on check-in, so we decided to have dinner there one night. Waiter was nice, but clearly new to the business so service wasn't great, but nice kid learning. He gets the pass. The drinks we ordered were good, but the gnats or fruit flies that came with them and swarmed our table for the next hour were really not great. Our food (chicken) was obviously well undercooked and we only took a few bites. We did not send it back. We were there early for dinner, and staff mainly hung out together with the manager by the bar, a few feet from our table, the entire time and never checked in with us to see how the food was, ask if we wanted another drink or anything at all really. Not sure if the restaurant and hotel are owned by the same company, but they are attached and we were provided free drinks at check-in. Hotel was great, we would never recommend the restaurant.

Excellent location. 2 mins walk from Union Station for bus tour. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Reception girls were friendly and welcoming. We had dinner and breakfast in the Dubliner, both very good and good value for central DC. We would usually make a point of NOT eating in Irish Bars on holiday. Special shout out to Patrick, thanks… Read more

For event planning, the Phoenix Park Hotel team is amazing to work with! Janice has always worked tirelessly to accommodate our needs and even last minute requests and changes. The space is clean, the team is responsive, and the hotel is in an excellent location.
