HOTEL PALOMAR WASHINGTON DC - A KIMPTON HOTEL

"dupont staycation"

from the first call to make the reservation, to the last 'have a good day', our stay at the Palomar was filled with professionalism, friendliness and smiles. the concierge was so gracious. the front desk staff was accommodating without becoming cloyingly extra where the greetings and salutations eventually echo false. nope! not was the case of the Palomar staff. everyone seemed genuinely into their job and it showed. within the hotel it showed various signs of wear but don't we all! lol the room was clean and comfortable. our suite was two rooms, each with a huge flat screen, the living room housed a work area and a sitting area for entertaining. the bedroom was huge! the bed was like a big cloud of sleep heaven! firm but forgiving. loved that big thick faux fur blanket! it was so nice and cozy. the bathroom was wonderful with exception of the sink. whoever designed it was not thinking of anyone having to cleanse/rinse their face as the faucet didn't move and the basin was too short so water splashed everywhere! however that massaging fuji soaking tub was incredible! yes the tub massaged! it was bliss. room service was friendly. the menu was ok. not as diverse as the urbana restaurant is northern italian cuisine. there are plenty of restaurants in the area that deliver. we had a service call as the ihome radio didn't work and the repairman on staff was extremely helpful and when it was deemed a lost cause, he went and found another one so we could have our iphone plugged in. it is located within the Dupont circle area, so plenty to walk to and see. a great way to be tourists in DC. the valet is a bit steep $45/day, however it did come with in/out privileges. overall a great stay with friends! we'll go back. all that and our karma points (their loyalty program) made for a great staycation!

"Birthday Weekend-Amazing Hotel, Amazing Staff!"

I stayed here for my 30th birthday weekend. It was one of the nicest places I've ever stayed. The staff was amazing, the room was beautiful, and I would come back every weekend if I could. My only caution is be prepared for expensive parking, its about $50.00 a night for valet.

"Wonderful comfort, staff, location"

We love this hotel. The location is perfect, close to Georgetown and closer to DuPont Circle and its great restaurants. The hotel will be getting some much anticipated renovations, and I can't wait. The restaurant, Urbana, is delicious. I cannot recommend this hotel more strongly. Also, it is well worth it to sign up for Kimpton Karma rewards. I have been a member for a few months and already earned a free night and a free upgrade. The staff here are superb. I simply love this hotel experience.

"Another great stay with Kimpton Hotels"

We are big fans of the Kimpton brand and this one is no exception. Last minute decision to stay in DC after an anniversary celebration with friends and this was the perfect location, atmosphere and pre-game for a wonderful night. Staff was quite helpful and we enjoyed the warm reception and gathering space in the lobby prior to starting our night with bubbly at the bar. We were able to walk to our restaurant reservations and back. The rooms are always nicely appointed with great linens (600 thread count I am sure), great toiletries and plush bathroom towels. Love the bed and the furniture - always so comfortable. Sunday brunch at Urbana restaurant was a nice treat. Love the french toast and coffee. Would not hesitate to stay again!

"One of the nicest hotels I have visited."

We stayed at the Hotel Palomar for my girlfriend's birthday, and I could not have been more pleased with our reservation. The hotel decor is incredible, with ambient lighting and modern furnishings in the lobby. Rachel at the front desk checked us in and out and went above and beyond to accommodate us, offering to hold our bags so we could explore the city after we checked out. We stayed in the Motion Spa room and it was probably the nicest hotel room I've stayed in on the east coast. King size bed, full closet, a giant bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and standing shower, and perhaps the coolest thing, an exercise room with flat screen television and an elliptical. I'd recommend signing up as a Kimpton Karma member, as you'll get free wifi and a ten dollar mini bar credit. From 5pm to 6pm the hotel has a wine hour with complimentary (and unlimited) red and white wines as well as snacks. Lastly, the hotel posted a secret password on Facebook that if you give the front desk upon checking in provides you with an extra perk. We got half off valet parking which was pretty ideal since parking is $45 a day. Overall, we will definitely be coming back here.
