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’.

Our luncheon was on the second floor of this beautiful hotel, the general manager, David Hill, greeted us and welcomed the group of us warmly. Service and food was outstanding. You can tell this staff is a 'family' that works together very well. Highly recommend this beautiful hotel! Read less

I'll start with a disclaimer: I haven't stayed at this hotel but instead this is a review of my experience with this hotel while trying to find a hotel in the DC area. I sent an email to the email address listed on their website enquiring about what cable news channels are available in guests rooms. I need to know for work purposes. After two days, I received no reply. I then made a phone call and was given an answer. The following day I rang again to confirm because it is important to me but I was given a different answer. So I now have no clue which answer to believe. The inconsistent answer and the lack of response to my original email is very poor service. This is a shame because The Phoenix Part Hotel was at the top of my list of DC hotels. Not anymore, sadly. Read less

We had a great stay at this place. Since we stepped in the hotel, Marcia welcomed us warmly and was extremely friendly and kind. The location of the hotel is amazing, very central and walking distance for most of the main touristic attractions. The rooms are impeccably clean and very pretty. We would definitely recommend this place as the best one… Read more

The Phoenix Park was recommended to me by my cousin Brendan O'Donnell, who works at Bitty and Beau's in Georgetown. He said the location was perfect for me and very secure (traveling alone at 75 yrs old).

The Phoenix Park was recommended to me by my cousin Brendan O'Donnell, who works at Bitty and Beau's in Georgetown. He said the location was perfect for me and very secure (traveling alone at 75 yrs old). I was able to check in early, enjoy a delicious lunch at the Pub and be on my way to meet Brendan at his workplace. He told me his parents had held parties at the hotel years ago and that they loved it and he knew I would be comfortable. The staff was very welcoming, service was awesome, and the atmosphere was perfect. Read less
