What a Pleasure!

This hotel was a wonderful find. In DC you can't throw a rock without hitting a hotel and there are so many different neighborhoods it's very confusing. We just stayed an entire week in DC but the first part of our stay was at a smaller, cheaper hotel about 6 blocks up the street. We moved to this hotel for the last 2 nights and it was such an improvement! It is a 4 star hotel and to us the most impressive thing was the quality, kindness, attitudes of the entire staff beginning with the doormen. Every employee we encountered was absolutely first class. The rooms are very well appointed, ours not being overly large, but very clean and well designed. The hotel must have been recently renovated as the rooms are all contemporary and the bathrooms are beautifully done, granite, tile, walk-in shower. This hotel is exactly across the street from the DuPont Metro, so you can get anywhere. If you're fit and able, you can walk to Georgetown. The bus stop is also across the street. You do not need a car, in fact, its a pain to have one. I will definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it.

Slight Fall Off in Service

I had 2 issues - first, in a 2.5 day stay, my room was never cleaned. The staff did promptly supply me with additional towels, which is all I really needed. Second, during my stay, there was a power outage (obviously not the fault of the hotel). Following the outage, I was not able to properly adjust the therostat in my room - despite bringing this to the staff's attention, the problem was not remedied. On balance, I really like the hotel as it is a great improvement over the old Jury's; but, it is suffering a few service shortcomings.

comfort on the Dupont

Had one the best stays ever at The DuPont Hotel. The comfort and uniqiness won me over. It put me in the center of everything!

Very nice room & great restaurant

This hotel is in excellent condition; the rooms and common areas are clean and well maintained. The hotel is clearly being run in European style: No tightly fitting bathroom door, no shower curtain or door (glass at the shower head end), no washcloths unless you request them. We found the bar and restaurant very pleasant, with good mixed drinks and tasty food. The staffs of both hotel and restaurant were friendly and helpful. The Dupont Circle is a very nice location, just a one mile from the national mall, and with bus and Metro stops close at hand. Recommended!

great room, great location

smart floor plan. rooms are not large but are well laid out. exceptional bedding - outstanding pillows. good lighting. bathrooms have a clean modern look - cool shower.

Needs Improvement

hallways carpets needs to be cleaned. Elevators are smalls and too many people using them. No doors at bathroom so you can imagine that you hear all kind of noises coming out when someone is at WC. Great location (near Metro Station)and all kind of food services around.

super comfortable modern hotel

The modern design of the rooms is really nice. There's so much attention to detail and the way things fit together, it was really great to see. I hate hotels where the rooms look like grandma's country house with floral patterned sheets, cheap furniture and placeholder art on the walls. This hotel was such a pleasant surprise! Our room at The Dupont hotel sported earth colored grasscloth wallpaper, ultra modern frosted glass bathroom and super comfy beds. There was also an original Saarinen table, i even flipped it over to check it out expecting a knock-off. The wooden shutters on the windows were such a nice touch too. Overall, it felt like so much attention went into the interior design of the space that it felt very comfortable, warm and relaxing! Will definitely stay there again when visiting DC in the future.

Wonderful location

Friends and I stayed at this hotel around the time of the Cherry Blossom Festival. The hotel had just re-opened after months of renovation. The decor and fixtures in our room and the bathroom were very modern and new and the staff was friendly. However, our room was not cleaned on the last day of our stay. We would have said something to the front desk if this had happened earlier in our stay but we let it go since we were leaving the next day. The Dupont Circle location is fantastic. Very close to a subway station and lots of great restaurants nearby.

The bathroom

Location can't be beat for D.C. resturant going, shopping and bar hopping. Steps away from a huge farmers market. Aside from that, I know its been mentioned before, but one can't leave the Dupont without commenting on the bathrooms. Absolutely no privacy. And no bath rug for the shower...I found it strange. Beautiful, tendy, cool but strange.
