The hype
Guests love the spacious, comfortable rooms and the safe, walkable Dupont Circle location, but are frustrated by the hidden fees and expensive parking.
The Churchill Hotel
$139-250 / malam
Tempah ini jika You want historic Beaux-Arts charm and massive rooms in a quiet, upscale neighborhood without paying downtown luxury prices.
Mengapa Orang Suka Ini
- Spacious rooms and Junior Suites that offer incredible value
- Historic 1906 Beaux-Arts architecture and vintage artifacts
- Prime, safe location near Dupont Circle and Embassy Row
Ringkasan Cepat: It's a beautiful historic property with massive rooms in a prime neighborhood, but mandatory destination fees and hit-or-miss cleanliness keep it from true luxury status.
Ditinjau oleh @suitechanel: My suite at the Churchill was the perfect mix of historic DC charm and modern comfort. Having a dedicated study room kept my workspace separate from my bedroom, which I loved. Plus, the buttery morning croissants are absolutely incredible. Highly recommend for your next trip!
