Palomar Washington DC, a Kimpton Hotel

If you are traveling to DC on business or pleasure you want to make it the best by staying at the Palomar. It is located just of Dupont circle just of the subway, lots of cabs, and accessible to every point in DC. Just around the corner from great restaurants, shopping and night life or just stay in, the Urbana is amazing. The rooms a spacious, fun, upscale and functional. You will truly feel pampered. Everything from the busy Happy Hour in the lobby to the free nightly shoe shine. I go out of my way to stay at the Palomar, my home away from home.

We spent four nights at the Palomar last week. Our room was very large, and cutely appointed as all Kimptons are (Zebra striped throw on the bed, etc.). The decor was zippy but dark - shades of black, brown and grey - and our room had an odd shape because of the building layout, which left us with only one smallish window in a corner and therefore not much natural light. But it's a pleasure to have room to unpack and move around in a hotel room these days, and I'd trade the space for the light if I had to choose! Room was well-equipped if not sparklingly fresh and the lobby is small but nice. Restaurant struck us as somewhat overpriced, but the location near Dupont Circle is such that there are many, many dining options to choose from. Prices fluctuate from great deals to very, very high depending on what's going on in DC, but we were very pleased with our rate.

The Palomar in Washington DC is a fabulous hotel. The decor is modern and sleek. The service is exceptional. You are always greeted with a friendly smile from everyone to the bell boy to the conceriege. They provided a fabulous conceriege who provided directions, gave restuarant suggestions, and even made reservations for our dinners. They offered us complmentary coffee or tea each morning in the lobby living room. They also delivered a complimentary paper to our door each morning. In the evening, they provided a complimentary wine tasting. They served wine, beer, sodas, and hor'dorves each night from 5 - 6PM. The guests were very important to the hotel. They also had a lovely fitness center and gorgous pool. The hotel was in walking distance to the metro and many restaurants. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. It was a fabulous vacation spot.

We found it comfortable, clean, and stylish. Free coffee and happy hour, and restaurant was supposed to be good, though we didn't get a chance to sample any of them.

The Hotel Palomar was great for a weekend getaway with my girlfriend. The room was fantastic. The animal print theme was very well executed. The bed was very comfortable. The wireless Internet was both free and reliable. Our room was on the top floor and had an interior courtyard view, which was nice. The bathroom was huge and spotless. The only problem was that the water tended to splash everywhere whenever we used the sink facet. The shower was one of the best that I?ve encountered at a hotel. The hotel is located in a nice neighborhood and there are several good restaurants within one block. Overall, an excellent experience. Highly recommended.

Very good, one suggestion, should have coffee pot or microvave in the room

This was a family visit, but i needed to get work done. I was able to get online when i needed to and also able to relax in a great pool and gym. Then we were able to get our mother in for dinner with wheel chair access and the very friendly wait staff accomodated all changes in the meal requested for her 91 year old needs. It was also great to unwind each evening with the wine happy hour. The staff were all professional as well as friendly and helpful I would stay here for either business or pleasure again

I will definetely return to the Palomar. Valet parking, doormen, coffee in the morning, wine in the evening. The Metro is only 2 blocks away - Dupont Circle. The room (520 sq. ft.) was very spacious with contemporary furnishings. The staff was very courteous at all times and even called to make sure my room was ok soon after arriving.

The Hotel Palomar was elegant and the service was outstanding. The service people seemed to remember us and provided service requests in a polite and timely manner. The room was very large with a kingsize bed, desk area, two chairs and a small couch. The art on the walls was colorful. There were lots of good places to eat near the hotel. Cab service was very timely. All street noise was filtered out. The room was quiet and very conducive to resting. I would recommend this hotel to friends and would stay there again myself.

Modern hotels can be cold when they're overeager with the black and chrome; Palomar is very stylish but still warm and comfortable. Our room was small but beautiful. I loved being able to use my iPod in the room. The wine reception in the early eve. was a nice welcome back after a day of sightseeing. Had an excellent breakfast that didn't break the bank (unlike many hotel breakfasts). Had a LOVELY romantic dinner at Firefly, another Kimpton property that's a few blocks away. I think the area (DuPont Circle) is the best place to stay in D.C., because it's hip and bustling but still feels like a neighborhood. Oh, well. awesome.
