    The Hamilton Hotel is across the street from Franklin Park. Metro is about a block away. Don't confuse this place for The Hamilton Restaurant (about 3 blocks away). The lobby is comfy. The staff are proactive and nice. They led us to areas instead of just pointing where to go. We attended an event in the Schuyler Room. It is a great meeting area. The food looked better than it tasted. It was a sad meal. The salad was mostly lettuce with a few thinly sliced cucumbers and a handful of radishes. The best part of the salad was the lemon vinaigrette. There were two entree choices: Smelly fish or watery rice, masquerading as risotto. Dessert was the best item. The location is conveniently located to downtown DC, shopping and restaurants. You can walk to the White House or mall.

    We had a nice stay at The Hamilton while we visited the museums and monuments. The room was comfortable with a King-sized bed with adequate space to walk around. There were electrical plugs on the base of the lamp on the nightstand, and the desk had a built-in strip with plugs including USB. The bathroom had body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion as well as a hairdryer. There was an iron & ironing board in the closet. Don't confuse the mini-bar with the mini-fridge. The mini-bar has drinks and snacks on the top, which are sensor activated so if you move them, you will be charged. The staff was very nice and the lady who checked us in was very helpful with maps and directions. We had several hours before our flight on check-out day, and they held our luggage for us while we did more touristy things. The hotel is close to the museums. You could walk or take the bus. There's several bus stops across the street and it's about one-and-a-half blocks to the Metro station.

    The website photos are very misleading. Majority of hotel and lobby has a weird smell. Please see the pictures below of Room. Would not recommend.

    Black mold in the sink

    Stayed here for 2 nights in April 2026. While the hotel's age could account for some things like outdated outlets and bathroom appliances, there is no reason for any establishment to be in this level of disrepair. From the "dirty laundry" smell that permeated our room, to the visible mold and dirt, I wouldn't even recommend this place to someone on a tight budget. The price point and the photos of the restaurant and lobby make this place seem like the upper level of the mid-range of boutique hotels, but I've had a cleaner room and better service at a Holiday Inn express. Carpets and furniture in the lobby were filthy and old. The one redeeming quality is the proximity to amenities, and the view of Franklin park.

    I left an item in the room, called immediately, and after a wild goose chase I didn't get it back. The situation was handled unprofessionally and there was poor communication at every level that left a bad taste in my mouth. My experience was truly terrible, and it's ground enough for me to strongly recommend against trusting this hotel with your stay.

    Photo of filthy vent.

    Absolute dump! I would stay at this place is the paid me. Rooms are dilapidated, run down and filthy dirty. The vent in the bathroom was filled with visible mold and dust. Disgusting! See the photo. I cannot believe this place hasn't been shut down by the health department.

    Veep Suite

    The Hamilton Hotel is located in a great spot in Downtown DC. Only blocks from the White House and one block to a Metro station. We chose this hotel as we are big fans of the TV show, Veep, and they have a suite themed after it. The suite contains several props from the show which was very fun for us as fans. The suite consisted of a bedroom, bathroom, living room and entry hallway and was on the upper floor of the hotel. The view was on Franklin Park and the Washington Monument in the distance. During our stay we enjoyed the clean room, beautiful historic look and feel of the hotel, and the location. We had an issue with our tub not draining, but it was fixed quickly once we mentioned it. The room was stocked with fresh towels daily and was clean. Some people need to be reminded what a historic hotel experience can be like and what their expectations need to be. That being said, we enjoyed our time here and would consider it again for future trips.

    Broken curtain holder

    Absolutely a horrible hotel. First off, the curtain in the bathroom was completely missing. I was completely exposed using the toilet or showering. Second, the bathtub drain was broke. Third, the carpet was disgustingly. Do not stay here.

    So nobody talks about how their is no place to park? And how it's 59$ valet only? I'm just asking…

    There's a great self park garage on the same block - pay ahead of time with SpotHero and spend a fraction of that cost.

Traveling can be exhausting, and during our stay, my son Colin often went down to the bar and restaurant on his own in the evenings and mornings. What stood out to me wasn't just the quality of the food or service--it was how the staff treated him. Every single time, he was met with kindness, respect, and genuine warmth. He ordered his meals, sat comfortably, enjoyed his time, and never once felt awkward or out of place. The staff made sure he had what he needed, checked in on him naturally, and created an environment where he felt completely at ease. As a parent, that level of care is something you never forget. For me, the experience was just as special. Corey, the bartender, was exceptional. Each evening, he made sure I had exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it, and engaged in thoughtful, easy conversation that made the space feel welcoming and safe. It wasn't just service--it was connection, and it made a long, tiring trip feel restorative. This hotel doesn't just deliver luxury--it delivers humanity. The staff understands how to read people, how to make guests feel comfortable, and how to create an atmosphere where everyone feels like they belong. I've stayed in many beautiful hotels, but this experience stands apart because of how we were treated as people. Thank you to the entire team--and especially Corey--for making this such a memorable stay. We will absolutely be back.

While this location is sometimes a world away from the Middleburg persona and experience, it still maintains the same austerity and could very well be seen as a muse of the former. This is my favorite place to stay whenever I come to town. The customer service is top notch, and the rooms are what I would consider cozy luxury. The bathrooms are amazing, with their marble facade throughout. If you're lucky to land one with a soaking tub, take advantage and ask for some bath salts to enjoy to your experience. Room service is prompt (and yes, they still offer cookies if you ask!) and really provides shows that they take customer service seriously. The pool and spa are probably the stars of the show in my opinion. The pool is amazing and the oerfect temperature. Great for the kids or for swimming laps. You can even just go and enjoy the view and ambiance. It won't disappoint. As this is a premium property, parking is expensive but you get what you pay for. There is usually a taxi that provides service to the neighboring national mall or to the southwest waterfront, but both are also within walking distance.

We paid them almost $1800 for a 3-night stay and they put us in a BASEMENT room, with one window off in an alcove looking UP to a trash in an alley.

(Then as we were leaving there was another couple in the lobby saying "They put us in the basement??") This apparently used to be a glorious room with a high ceiling but the space has been awkwardly chopped up including a bathroom wall that doesn't go up to the ceiling. And the bathroom had no exhaust vent, so it steams up when you shower and then if you want to see the mirror to shave or brush your teeth you're out of luck. But what was really galling is their note saying that "to enhance our stay" they have charged us an extra $35/day basically for 2 small bottles of Dasani water. Oh that also covers the loan of vintage board games. No coffeemakers in the rooms. You make your way to the lobby and stand in line. The room had a guide to historic hotels. It listed many there in DC that would have been much better.
