Great place—pool was the perfect late afternoon retreat on DC’s hottest day. Incredible staff and very comfortable rooms. Linens were squeaky clean. Full gym included free weights, spin bike, weight and cardio machines with enough space for yoga/stretching . Great farmers market a block away on Sunday mornings Good vibes at Royal Sonesta DuPont Circle.

The Royal Sonesta is conveniently located in Dupont Circle. We arrived at the hotel early and Tyeesha was able to check us in immediately without any additional fees. We greatly appreciated her assistance!! Once we arrived to our room, we were pleasantly surprised to see all the space we had. We opted for a double queen room. It's bright and spacious. Definitely recommend the Royal Sonesta for your stay.
