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 both the Capitol and Union Station. 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 (around 260 square feet) is minimalist, all creamy white and modern, with fluffy vanilla-colored comforters resting on over-large beds. 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. The George adheres to the Kimpton hotels' EarthCare program.
Facilities:
Restaurant, bar; children's amenity program; concierge; small exercise room w/steam rooms; room service

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.
