Frommer's Review

This stunning 1883 mansion, poised prominently on a corner 4 blocks north of Dupont Circle, has nine exquisite guest rooms. 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 showerhead. The Jennifer Green Room has a queen-size four-poster bed, a working fireplace, an oversize marble steam shower, and a private deck overlooking the pool area and garden. The Regent Room also has a private deck overlooking the pool, and has a whirlpool in the marble bathroom, and a king-size bed in front of a carved working fireplace. 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. No smoking.

Facilities:
Outdoor pool; free Wi-Fi; business services; in-room massage; same-day dry cleaning
