Top Smithsonian American Art Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, will be back!"

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was plesant ,accomindating and helpful and when our reservations were not found , an error on your part by the way. We were on the phone with Expedia for about 5 hours, in the lobby trying to rectify the situation. The front desk was there when we needed their support. The locaton was ideal for our travel plans, the room was clean and we were directed to several good eateries nearby."

The Darcy Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Darcy is a very attractive hotel in a convenient location. It has a lively, fun atmosphere. The highlights for me were the really nice bathroom and shower, and the great coffee shop attached to the hotel—Bluestone Lane. But most importantly, the staff was exceptional! They were all friendly, professional, attentive, and engaging. I would definitely stay at the Darcy again!"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was super comfortable and my husband really enjoyed his breakfast, he said he liked how his eggs were cooked. I like that it is an older hotel and as such has its charm. I like that it didn’t feel like a chain. In the past we stayed at the Hyatt nearby, but it was $200 more expensive than the Hamilton. I do wish the front desk kept a cash drawer so I could get change for tipping. We would definitely stay there again."

Grand Hyatt Washington

10/10 Excellent

"The location and walkability to all DC museums, monuments, etc., was exceptional!!! There were many diverse types of restaurants within just a few blocks as well. The hotel, lobby, and everything about our room was fantastic, and I will definitely stay at the Grand Hyatt next time I’m in DC."
