We arrived in DC in July. Hot much? The last thing I wanted to be was hot and sticky with hideous crowds. We someone muddled through the crowds which weren't too hideous but the joy for the day was always when we arrived back at Madera. First of all, it is a real neighborhood. Dupont Circle is loaded with charm... More

The Madera is not terribly fancy, but it was clean, quiet and comfortable. Had a great night's sleep. Room was big. Not much of a reception area to speak of, but the Firefly restaurant in the same building was nice to hang out in...their food was creative and excellent, though the drinks were a little pricey ($12.50 for a specialty...

I found this to be the perfect spot (large, comfortable and tastefully decorated room, accompanied by friendly service) for staying near a conference I attended recently. The conference was in a larger, more expensive hotel that (to my taste) was less attractive. I also enjoyed the adjacent Firefly Restaurant and the easy, pleasant walks to Dupont Circle. More

We stayed at the Madera for a long weekend. The room was nicely decorated, quiet, and very comfortable. Our room was on the street side above the entry canopy, with a view of the Egyptian embassy. Even though it was overlooking New Hampshire Ave., there was very little street noise. However, it was very cold pretty cold outside so, the... More

I've stayed at this Kimpton Hotel on a number of times and it only gets better with each visit. You're warmly greeted by the staff and they eagerly meet all your needs and request. The rooms are spacious, clean and fashionably upbeat. This DC Charmer is at DuPont Circle in an unsurpassed location, with easy transportation choices, DC exploration, dining... More

Visiting on business, I appreciated the comfort of the room, the friendliness of the staff and the nearness to the DC Metro. DuPont Circle is a wonderful place to be with an abundance of eateries, shops and ambiance. The Hotel Madera provides an experience that is consistent with the Kimpton standard. The room was clean, surprisingly spacious, quiet and very... More

Hotel was nice with great personal attention, big rooms, and great location. There is a small list of negatives, however: the bathrooms are very tiny, the bathrobes were scratchy and seemed old, and most importantly, when I arrived back at 2am my room smelled like cigarettes. In the bathroom the smell was strongest and I could smell it coming in... More

To be fair, we love Kimpton hotels and make an effort to stay at a Kimpton whenever possible. They are just kind of funky and fun. Their staff (at all of their hotels) are incredibly friendly and helpful. Their corporate culture is evident by the attitude of their staff. As one would expect from a boutique hotel, the lobby of...

Madera hotel was the best hotel choice I could have made for my recent visit to DC. From check-in to check-out they were very helpful, the front desk suggested very good places to dine and also gave us a map of all the attractions in the DC area that we were interested in visiting and they even hailed cabs for...
