The Tabard Inn: three charming, connected townhouses on a quiet side street one block from bustling Connecticut Avenue and a short walk from Dupont Circle. This hotel has been a private after-work meeting place or overnight retreat for generations of Washingtonians and out of town guests. The international staff are super friendly and accommodating. Great dining in a room with... More 

When I lived in Washington, D.C. I loved going to the Tabard Inn’s bar on a cold winter night for a drink or to their restaurant anytime for a meal.

If you want a bland, generic, corporate hotel where every room is the same, look elsewhere. The Tabard is full of antique furniture, and oozes history and character.
