4-star historic boutique hotel in downtown Washington D.C.
Social Experience & Pet-Friendly Policy
The hotel offers a complimentary wine hour each evening in the lobby, a daily event that encourages guests to mingle. Pets stay with no additional charges, and the hotel provides dog beds for furry guests. The valet team is known for going above and beyond, with staff driving nearly an hour to return a forgotten valet key.
Dining & Drinking
Dirty Habit, the on-site restaurant and lounge, serves small plates and creative cocktails from a space with edgy design and a dramatic urban patio. The restaurant offers dinner entrees at a higher price point, with options like avocado toast and steak. The hotel restaurant is closed for breakfast until 9 a.m. on weekends, and the front desk directs guests to nearby Gregorys Coffee.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel is located opposite the National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Capital One Arena for sports and events is one street over, and Walter E. Washington Convention Center is 750 meters away. The Gallery Place Metro stop is across the street, providing access to the rest of the city.
Rooms & Architecture
The hotel is housed in the historic former U.S. General Post Office, a building designed by Robert Mills, architect of the Washington Monument. Guest rooms feature high vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and animal-print bathrobes. Some rooms on the 1st floor are below street level with limited natural light and a musty smell.
Business & Events
The hotel has multiple event spaces including the Paris Ballroom and the Athens Room. A 24-hour fitness center with modern equipment is available for guest use. The hotel offers a business center with fax and photocopying services, plus meeting and banquet facilities.

History: Housed in Robert Mills' former U.S. General Post Office
“Housed in a former post office, the building itself boasts an intriguing blend of history and modern design, placing guests steps from the Smithsonian's American art gallery and the Capital One Arena. I appreciate the unique touches, like the lion head bas-relief in some rooms, alongside practical amenities such as yoga mats. Its central spot proves ideal for those eager to explore the city's cultural and entertainment offerings.”
