Top Smithsonian American Art Museum Hotel Reviews

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!"

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

8/10 Good

"Property location was great, hotel was clean and the staff were helpful. Room was very small (which we were okay with, but it was *very* tight), and had no fridge so we had to request a cooler from the front desk for medication that needed to stay cold. The drink tokens were a lovely touch, but they could not be used at the rooftop bar, and the downstairs bar closed too early for us to use ours, which was disappointing. Would stay again, just forewarned about the space and token usage."

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."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Washington DC Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very nice rest for two days after traveling for 12 hours the day we came in. From the moment we stepped in,the staff was incredibly professional ,very welcoming, and our favorite valet is William! He went above and beyond to help us, to give us instructions on how to get to the monuments, He was fantastic! Thank you so much Wiiliam for all your help! The room was beautiful, it was comfortable, it felt like home, we had the ice machine across from us which was so nice and the room was spacious and clean."
