Top Kennedy Center Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn Washington, DC/Foggy Bottom

10/10 Excellent

"Every thing"

Yours Truly DC, Vignette Collection by IHG

8/10 Good

"Thank you."

Hotel Washington

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel in a great location! The rooftop bar/restaurant is an highlight for the views. All of the staff are extremely professional, friendly and helpful. I’m not keen on the resort fee, but I appreciate this has become the norm in the US and this hotel has a better offering than many other hotels. I would definitely stay again."

State Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Easy walking to most places"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

8/10 Good

"It was a nice experience."

Global Luxury Suites at Georgetown

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at Lennox Global Luxury Suites at Georgetown was very good. The suite was very clean and cozy. The bathroom and kitchen were very nice and had all the necessary amenities. Almost all the kitchen amenities were brand new. The check in and out process was quick and seamless. The only two things that I would personally prefer would be a more comfortable mattress and pillows. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed my stay here and would not hesitate to return."

ARC Hotel, Washington DC, Series by Marriott

8/10 Good

"The staff were consistently professional, courteous, and attentive throughout our stay. However, despite our reservation being made for three guests, the room was prepared for only two people each day. As a result, we had to visit reception daily to request additional towels. In addition, the radiator appeared to require maintenance, as it produced a considerable amount of noise during our stay. Overall, we appreciated the high level of service provided by the staff. Addressing these relatively minor issues would further improve the comfort and overall guest experience."

West End Washington DC, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and clean room"
