Booked the hotel using the Kimpton website for a stay over New Years at the AAA rate. This was significantly cheaper than any other rate they offered. Overall our stay was fine, but the fit and the finish of the hotel is a little lacking. It was very dark on the interior, and I believe this was to try and... more

Excellent hotel! I am a very picky person when it comes to my stays at hotels and everything was super from start to finish. Hotel is beautifully decorated and extremely clean. The room are spacious and have great lay outs we stayed in two different rooms because we returned just to stay there again after we left the city to... more

This was SUCH a great surprise. I booked a room here on priceline, and it was just wonderful in every way. The bathroom was large and beautiful, and the actual room was just gorgeous. The decorating was impeccable. Normally I'm not a fan of "trendy" places, but this was on a different level entirely. The staff was so nice too... more

I visited Palomar (Dupont Circle) in mid-December for pleasure. The hotel is located 2-blocks from metro exit. Excellent stay! Wonderfully, the hotel is completely non-smoking. I saw three rooms during my stay and all three were quite large -- much larger than noted on Kimpton’s website. The rooms were immaculate – housekeeping does a great job. The complimentary happy hour... more

I stayed at this property in its previous lives -- a Sheraton Barcelo and a Radisson. I always enjoyed my stay here. It is now a Kimpton which has brought the distinctive Kimpton style of art and decor, which in some hotels is a distraction in my opinion. But not here. The art blends well and adds rather than detracts.... more

I went to the beautiful city of Washington DC for the first time and I stayed at the Kimpton Palomar Hotel for a week. I read in the webpage that this all-luxury, spa-like, gay-friendly hotel was quite an experience. Not so. The rugs were absolutely filthy. The colour was opaque and the dust was visible. The service was not as... more

My wife and I had an absolutely perfect 4 night stay at the Hotel Palomar. Since we have three young children and rarely if every get away, it was important to me that our trip be perfect. And it was. This hotel just does everything right. The lobby and room decor and very urban trendy and were spotlessly clean. The... more

Good hotel. Room was well furnished, clean and of a good standard. I have seen some complaints about room and bathroom sizes, by european standards our double on the 8th floor was fine. All the staff we dealt with were friendly and courteous. Coffee in the mornings and free wine and beer after a hard days sight seeing is a... more

We have stayed at a number of Kimptons and have always been very happy. Unfortunately, there were a number of issues at the Palomar. On the plus side, the rooms are certainly large and well appointed. Upon arriving, we found that the toilet in our room was not working. They sent someone up to fix it; he looked at it... more
