Frommer's Review
This stunning 1883 mansion, poised prominently on a corner 4 blocks north of Dupont Circle, has nine exquisite guest rooms. Renovations completed in 2009 focused on bathrooms; 4 rooms now have whirlpool tubs. Hard to say which is the prettiest, but I do love the Blue Sky Suite, covered in blue-and-white toile, with the original rose-tiled working fireplace, a queen-size bed and daybed, a sitting room, and a gabled ceiling. The most romantic room might be Il Duomo, with Gothic windows, a cathedral ceiling, a working fireplace, and a turreted bathroom with angel murals, a claw-foot tub, and a rain shower head. There are three suites. You'll want to spend some time on the main floor of the mansion, which has 12-foot ceilings, fluted woodwork, inlaid wood floors, a turreted living room, a columned sitting room, and a sunroom leading through three sets of French doors to the garden and pool. Check the inn's website for rate specials. Swann House is doing its eco-friendly part, using "green" cleaning products and switching to energy efficient light bulbs. This is a no-smoking property.
Facilities:
Outdoor pool; free Wi-Fi
