Really nice modern hotel with a progressive feel and related artwork throughout. The music in the lobby was a little loud for my taste - but other than that, the staff were great, the room was clean and very comfortable and the food was good.

Great place in great location
A hidden gem in a great location. The rooms are small, as to be expected in a large city boutique hotel; but they are fantastic. Comfy bed. Great little restaurant downstairs. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Hotel is very nice and comfortable. Bartender not real friendly. Would not switch gin out for vodka on request. Was told it was a theme or vibe drink and couldn’t do it. For as high as cocktails cost there shouldn’t be any debate to do this. Overall very good hotel.

Conveniently positioned for tourists visting DC
Lovely hotel in very convenient position, half a mile walk from the White House and so only a mile from the Washington Monument and The Mall. Limited restaurant offering but plenty of options close by. Check in was great, as was the maid service, but we gave 3 stars overall for service as the breakfast service was very poor, even though there were only 6 other people eating, and 4 of those arrived after us! The cooked food was fine, but no tip on the breakfast tab as a result of the slow and indifferent bar staff.

The hotel was very new, clean and unique with great city views. If is in walking distance to some restaurants and short drive to points of interest. The hotel restaurant was open for breakfast, brunch and dinner. The food was good but overpriced. We were disappointed that the roof top area and pool was closed for the season. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
