The Palomar is located in the beautiful, charming Dupont circle neighborhood. The area is lively and filled with restaurants, cafes and bars. Your are a 10-15 minute drive from the National Mall, Capital building, major museums etc. This was fine for us, as we had a car, but make sure to find out what metro stop is near the hotel.... more

My husband and I stayed here for a couple of days. It's location is great with easy access to the metro and surrounded by places to eat. We didn't try the hotels own restaurant as we didn't have time so we can't comment on that. Our room was huge as was the bathroom and everything was very clean. We thought... more

Hotel was excellent. We were a family of 4. We enjoyed the pool, doorman (always accommodating), concierge was very helpful (directing us to a great Italian Restaurant accross the street). The rooms were modern, and clean. The area was safe -we walked around to the Greyline stop. Dogs welcome were fun to! We would definately stay again. more

I found the Palomar by just doing an internet search and comparing prices. I'd never stayed there, and I was a bit nervous booking at a place that was the lowest-priced. But indeed, it is quite a nice facility, new and a stylish. It's got a great location on Dupont Circle, the heart of Washington, so it's easy to get... more

This is what a good hotel should be. We arrived early in the morning and a room wasn't available (not surprising or disappointing.) The concierge checked us in and gave us his card, took my cell phone # and told us he'd call us when a room was ready. He did--around noon. Well before check in. Wow. We had a... more

After staying at another Kimpton hotel (Argonaut in SFO) we opted for the Palomar for our break in Washington. Our twin room was stylish, large & very comfortable. The complimentary light breakfast was a nice touch and set us up for sightseeing days. The location off Dupont Circle is great and allows for 20-30 minute walks in either direction into... more

I just returned from a business trip to Washington, DC and spent 3 nights at the Palomar. I was impressed with absolutely everything about it - not an easy feat because I frequent many nice hotels throughout the country for business. The staff was exceptionally professional and friendly. The room was huge, aesthetically-pleasing, and practically arranged and stocked with with... more

I stayed here the night of Sept 10 on a quick, overnight business trip. The location is excellent for tourists, good but not great for business, but I know the city well and wanted to try a different and less expensive place. Bottom line is that I would consider staying there again, unless I had business in the Capitol Hill... more

Travelled here for a few days on business. I would not book into this hotel for over about $120 a night, given the choices in the market in DC, but I snagged a $69/night room and went happily. It is good funky, and very hip. The bar/lounge is wonderful and friendly with an outdoor patio. The rooms are very comfortable... more
