This hotel has a great location in DC - very close to the National Portrait Gallery, the Verizon Center, International Spy Museum and Chinatown. So many great restaurants to choose from within walking distance. The hotel is housed in the original 1839 Post Office and Tariff Building which means it has beautiful architecture - although I would avoid getting a room on the bottom floor like we did - it was a little like walking through utility corridors. As a Kimpton hotel, they allow all sizes of pets without any additional fees which is a great plus for me since we often travel with our dog. And if you left your pet at home, they'll even loan you a goldfish for your room!
