I love Kimpton hotels, I go out of my way to stay with them whenever possible. I did find my time at the madera a bit disappointing. The hotel is a bit cramped, especially upon arrival - more than one guest checking in at a time = chaos. The rooms, specifically the bathrooms were not up to the usual high... More

I always feel welcome by the many familiar faces at the Madera. The staff are uniformly warm and helpful--never any 5-star attitude. They are accommodating of special requests like pet-free floor and early arrival, and they demonstrate a real appreciation of loyal InTouch members. Perfect location if you want Dupont Circle--I routinely walk to the Kennedy Center--and one of the... More

Like a European hotel, the Madera feels like it's part of the fabric of its neighborhood--in this case the Dupont Circle area and Embassy Row. I suspect the building was formerly an apartment house, so the lobby area is rather small, but the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and nicely appointed. The staff is very sharp and attentive. We can't wait... More

My husband and I stayed for 1 night the day after Christmas, and we had a fabulous experience! The concierge was extraordinarily friendly and helpful when we checked in (and out), and our room was ready even though we checked in early. Room was supremely clean, spacious, very tastefully decorated, and the bed was very comfy. We were in a... More

The lobby does not have seating for more than 4 people, so the wine hour is squeezed into a very small space. However the location in Dupont Circle... More

I frequently have business in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, and always stay at one of the nearby Kimpton Hotels. Madera is my favorite, but I usually stay where the room rate is lowest. On this trip I paid only $134/night at Madera. On a trip a few months earlier the lowest rate was at Kimpton Hotel Rouge at $204. I've... More

very nice little comfortable place to stay in DC. Very personable staff More

Just stayed for 3 nights (Fri, Sat, Sun) and had a fantastic time. Huge room with very comfortable bed, great location SUPER close to subway and Dupont Circle neighborhood (truly less than a 3 minute walk), friendly staff and additional perks like.... cocktail hour between 5 and 6 (red and white wine, local beer, spiked and regular hot apple cider),...

We had a fantastic weekend stay here. We were on a higher floor with a balcony and I loved the view of the neighborhood and the pretty building across the street. We got lucky with street parking nearby which was free for the weekend but I would be prepared to spend a fair amount to valet. Highlights included: - Very... More
