Frommer's Review

Behind a facade of stainless steel, limestone, and glass is one of Washington's hippest places to stay, and one within easy reach of the Capitol. Clientele leans toward powerbrokers and celebrities, who often meet with Washington's version of the same in the hotel's Bistro Bis restaurant. Decor in the oversize guest rooms is minimalist, all creamy white and modern, with 32-inch plasma-screen television, and shades (not fussy drapes) nestled perfectly within the window frame. Fluffy vanilla-colored comforters rest on over-large beds; an ergonomically designed chair draws up to the black granite-topped desk. Spacious bathrooms feature black granite and marble, and a speaker that broadcasts TV sounds from the other room. Like all Kimpton hotels, the George offers in-room spa services, reservable when you book your room. The smoke-free hotel has three one-bedroom suites.

Facilities:
Restaurant (French bistro); small 24-hr. fitness center w/steam rooms; 24-hr. concierge; business services; room service (7am-11pm); same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; VCR rentals; 4 rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
