Top Smithsonian American Art Museum Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff"

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"First of all this is a great value hotel. I choose this hotel as often as possible as the price point is lower than most of the newer hotels. It was probably a fancy place back in the day but it’s showing its age. If they redid the bathrooms and made the doors a little more high quality (they’re like plywood) it would make a world of difference. Not a complaint as it’s mostly modern in the bedroom itself and very comfortable."

Grand Hyatt Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, clean hotel in DC. At least a 4 star if not a 4.5. Great location and very handy having the DC Metro Metro Center station located there. Clean, well maintained. Classy but not snobby hotel. The shops on site and full Starbucks in the hotel were great additions. When we were there that terrible heat wave hit and they were happy to provide us with some bottled water. Fairly close walk or Uber or Metro to many monuments and museums. Would stay there again!"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about my stay was exceptional except checkin. I requested early checkin. Nothing was available, and I left my cell number in case a room was found. I spent the next hour in the lobby watching person after person check in. Finally, I returned to the desk and a room was then found for me. Kind of left a bad taste. Otherwise, everything was great. The pizza from the onsite restaurant was delicious."
