Kimpton Hotel Monaco Washington DC, an IHG Hotel

The building itself is very cool , it’s an old post office. It is directly across from this Smithsonian, American art gallery, and the Washington Arena a block and a half from Chinatown about five blocks or so from the convention center ,very nice location. Our room has a lion head bas relief Over the bed, which is kind of different!!!! Shower was nice and strong. My deluxe king had a little desk with a lamp and a nice roommate closet. There is a folding mirror in the bathroom for make up and nice toiletries. The bathrobes did not exist but there is a yoga mat . The room is very quiet, even though we’re on the first floor Facing seventh Street.

The Kimpton Hotel Monaco is located in the Penn Quarter area of Washington, DC, surrounded by restaurants, museums, theaters and a major sports arena. It's a beautifully restored historic building with a very cozy (and popular) lobby, and a well-reviewed restaurant and bar. It's a very short walk from the hotel to the DC subway system (the Metro) and the area is quite walkable. The room I stayed in (an essential queen room) was pretty spacious and stylishly furnished, with a desk and chair, an upholstered chair, a bench at the foot of the queen bed, and a large wardrobe with full-length mirrors, a small refrigerator and a safe. There were 2 comfy bathrobes in the closet. The bathroom had a tub-shower combination and was scrupulously clean. The room had various lighting options (floor lamp, desk lamp, bedside lamps, etc.), many electrical outlets and nice large windows.

I liked that it was super close to the capital one arena and how I was able to bring my dogs with me and now having to worry about a pet deposit. They also had dog beds for my dogs which was awesome! The room was super clean and the staff was AWESOME.

Check in was excellent and the room was nicer than I expected. Food at the restaurant was good and had a fairly extensive menu.

Location was amazing, staff was super friendly and the hotel was very clean. We would stay there again. Very dog friendly and understanding of our little nervous pup.
