The Dupont Hotel

Frommer's Review

This hotel gets high marks for convenience (it's right on Dupont Circle), service, and comfort. Formerly the Jurys Washington Hotel, this property's 2009 change of ownership and top-to-bottom renovation added a ninth floor (the club level) and a duplex Presidential Suite (only such in the city), and put an urban-chic spin on guest room appearance and amenities. Striped carpeting, leather headboards, and dark woods and fabrics lend rooms an overall handsome and streamlined look -- a look, actually, that applies throughout the hotel, including bar, restaurant, and lobby. Bathrooms have heated marble floors; toilet and shower (no tubs here) are separated by glass partition, while the sink and vanity lie outside the bathroom in an alcove. Despite its prime location in a sometimes-raucous neighborhood, the hotel is designed to guard against rude intrusions, its guest rooms insulated from the noise. But if you want to see what's going on out there, ask for a room overlooking Dupont Circle. Streets lined with cafes, bookstores, galleries, bars, and boutiques surround the hotel.
