We stayed at the Helix in early January for two days as part of a 6 week trip around the US. Firstly the service was quick and friendly - we arrived before check in time and it wasn't even mentioned. We then had a follow up call in the room to make sure we were happy with the room. The... More

I am generally a big fan of Kimpton Hotels. The Helix has some of the great features that characterize the chain, including: 1) very friendly service, 2) a non-standard, hip vibe, and 3) free wifi and minibar credit if you join the loyalty program. The Helix also has a good location in the Logan Circle neighborhood, and is reasonable walking... More

Decided to try another Kimpton hotel since I loved the first one, and let me say, this one was not a disappointment at all!! This one is also themed, and has 70's decor throughout the hotel and it is done very tastefully. They gave me a bag of skittles and bottle of water upon check-in, which I thought was a... More

This is an outstanding property manned by an exceptional staff! This has been only my second stay at a Kimpton property but I will seek them out in the future. The hotel is lovely and upscale; funky and neat-looking. I had a lovely free happy hour with them. Everyone made you feel at home especiallyas they addressed you by name. More

I come to Helix every few months for work and it is by far the funnest and most unique hotel I've had to stay at. I always look forward to their happy hour after a long day at work. More

I was celebrating my birthday which was noted on my reservation after casually talking to the reservation desk about why the rate was ok because... More

This is the old Ramada of Marion Barry fame spruced up. The positives: the rooms are large, the very comfortable king bed has a fun curtain around it that creates a cozy space, the reading lights on either side of the bed are very useable with an easily accessible on-off for all lights, the bathroom is down a small corridor...

We stayed here for a one night staycation because we got a great deal online. It was a perfect spot for that purpose. If you're not from DC, it might not be the most convenient place ever b/c it's not right by the metro, but for us it was great. If the purpose of your trip is monuments/museums/White House, you...

From the moment the curtains opened, I knew I was in my element. EVERYTHING was excellent. After a room change for a better view...SUCCESS! Did I mention I was there for Christmas?, and just when I thought things couldn't get any better...A breathtaking view of a rainbow. More
