The Rogue is a great place to stay when you are in DC. The Dupont Circle area is a great area -- it is kind like the Berkeley of DC. The Rogue location is perfect -- within walking distance of Whole Foods, close to the metro, good bookstores, yoga studios close, and several coffee houses. The staff are always friendly... More

I loved loved loved this hotel. I went to Washington DC for the first time and went with friends. I had this beautiful room to myself (unfortunately my husband could not join me) but I was enjoying the room completely. It was huge and beautiful. The hotel was located 1.2 miles away from the White House, and maybe 2 miles... More

I stayed at the Hotel Rouge several years ago, and wrote a TA review criticizing the food. I recently stayed at this hotel again, and wanted to say that the food was definitely improved since my first visit. For breakfast, as a Kimpton member, there is a $1 upgrade to a decent continental breakfast. I ended up ordering room service,... More

Stayed at the Rouge for a conference and everything was fine: Nice big and clean room, great location, staff very helpful and friendly, good breakfast. The red modern style itself is a question of personal taste, not really mine, but that did not effect my stay in a negative way. More

Rouge is a Kimpton hotel, and like others in this chain, has a definite personality and vibe to it. Locatesd right near Dupsont Circle, Rouge is a few blocks from two differnt Metro stops, and there are lots of great restaurants in easy walking distance. The hotel staff is very friendly and accommodating, and they host a little "happy hour"... More

We had a fabulous time. Easy booking, fantastic location - walkable everywhere. Directions from metro stations slightly confusing. Take washington flyer express shuttle from dulles instead of 5A local bus as per hotel directions.
