The rooms have all been redone in bold, bright, modern style (think splashes of cobalt, yellow, and orange, graphic wallpaper in the bathroom, and crazily patterned rugs). The lobby is built to be an all-day meeting place, from morning espresso to evening cocktail. But really, what’s most refreshing about this boutique-y chain hotel is its proximity to, well, so many good things. You’re within walking distance to the National Mall, a short run from the beautiful trails in Rock Creek Park, and the quickest cab ride to Georgetown.
