I believe this hotel might be a secret. It is located within a couple of blocks of the Ritz Carlton and easy walking distance to Georgetown. It is minutes away from the White House via taxi. There are approximately 155 units – 100 of those are suites with full pantry kitchens. I have stayed twice – once in a deluxe room and the other time in a suite. Both were perfect. Frankly, the deluxe room would be my choice for a return visit. The furnishings are quality – lovely dark woods – and the rooms are very spacious. Linens are top quality as are bathroom amenities. It’s a small property that’s big on service and quality.
