I accompanied my husband on a business trip and this hotel is by far the most stylish and elegant I have ever stayed at. It doesn't scream opulent as some hotels that try to be elegant, instead it has and understated elegance that works really well. I had seen the hotel online before I got there but unlike other times... More

We had a wonderful time at the Donovan house for our stay in DC. The staff was top notch and the location was perfect. It was very clean but had some wear. The bathroom was amazing! The deep egg shell bath was amazing, as was the walk around shower! Lots of amazing design modern elements in everything. We love the... More

Great hotel, decor is modern, room and hotel overall was very clean, centrally located and wonderful staff, they answered any questions we had and went above and beyond to find answers to anything we needed. Rooms are not large but very comfortable, design & location makes up for it.

When I first arrived I wasn't sure what to expect as the hotel had such a modern feel. I was a little surprised to see the walls painted black in the hallways and it took me a while to figure out the lights. Once I got used to it, I really enjoyed it. The location is lovely, I had a... More

Allow me to begin by saying that I am a native San Franciscan. I am pretty familiar with good hotels and good restaurants. A retired executive from a prominent aerospace company that also provided service I am quite familiar with great hotels and great food worldwide. This year however, I have finally had the pleasure of going to Washington DC.... More

I travel all over the US and Canada and like to have a home away from home when staying at a hotel. The Kimpton line of hotels in the US rarely fail to provide that experience.

This was a modern and very clean hotel in a great location. The staff were quite friendly and helpful. Though we never ate at Zentan , we had drinks at at the bar and it was quite an interesting space. If you go up 14th past Thomas Circle there are some good spots. We would stay here again. The bed...

Donovan House upholds my long-standing loyalty to Kimpton properties, particularly for their quirky yet comfy design. My king room was in great condition, and while the bed was super-comfy and ensconced in a very mod black framing with inset dimmable LEDs, it's the bathroom that really got me. The shower is a crazy door-less spiral of semi-translucent plastic with a... More

Last minute business trip to DC. My wife had stayed at the Palomar in Dallas recently and liked it very much and when she heard me grumble that at the DC hotels near the White House were ridiculously expensive, said "try the Kimpton site". I had stayed at the Monaco Hotesl in DC and Denver so I found the Donovan... More
