Nice hotel with amazing service! Everyone was so nice and helpful. Especially - Ephrem, who went above and beyond and always bring a great energy with him whenever we see him in the lobby. Kudos! read more

You can't really beat it's proximity to the Hill. The location itself is a bit of a local business wasteland, there aren't a lot of nearby restaurants other than the one in the hotel (which was decent). My room was pretty basic, though quiet and comfortable. I did have a problem turning on the shower and someone had to come up and jury rig it for me. The gym was a little dated and didn't have everything I normally play with (no yoga ball?). For a work trip it was fine and I'd stay here again, but for pleasure I'd seek out something a little more luxe and fun. read more

My first stay and here's what I'm already loving about The George, the best place I've ever stayed at a per diem rate: 1. Hotel bar encourages you to take a drink with you to your room. (Only 3 drafts, but 3 good choices.) 2. Enormous marble & granite bathroom has a shower AND a tub. Soap & shampoo on tap in the shower, no wasting little plastic bottles, nice. Even free cotton swabs. 3. Way cool large room, comfortable bed, USB power points at the desk, a huge TV with ESPN in hi def, and (seriously now) a thermostat so I can set my preferred temp instead of just something random like "lo". 4. Free wifi, just sign up for their rewards club. Corp VPN worked! Didn't try to stream anything tho lol. 5. $10 raid-the-mini-bar credit, nobody ever does that! To be sure I'm not all that eager for a can of Heineken after a fine draft (see #1) but maybe some potato chips? 6. Daily reception 5-6pm offers a free glass of Merlot or Sauvignon Blanc. Perfectly drinkable, if a bit early. 7. Pet friendly with no fees and no deposit!! Ok the odds of my little pooch coming along to DC are slight at best but it's good to know anyhow. 8. Separate recycling and trash cans beneath the desk, maybe it's minor but I like it. 9. In-room yoga mat. I'd probably hurt myself getting into downward dog, but it's another nice touch I've not seen elsewhere. Only minor complaints: the desk is way too high so typing on it is a disaster, no nightlight in the cavernous bathroom, and zero room left over in the little fridge mini-bar. read more

June 2021: much of the Smithsonian and national buildings are still closed due to COVID, and restaurants are fee and far between, but we had a great stay here. Room is spacious. Service was perfect. Our only drawback was the in-room Keurig/Pike's Peak, which was string, bitter and basically undrinkable. One wonders if it was stale... (we went around the corner to a nice cafe.). The restaurant was great - good food and again excellent service. Because there are so few tourists, we feel like we are getting special attention. Room was spacious. Amenities great. read more

I am a HUGE Kimpton Group fan, yes they are, by definition, a chain of hotels, but boutique hotels and nothing like the Marriott's, Hilton's and Hyatt's of the world. That being said, nothing against any of them, I've stayed in PLENTY, but if I had my choice, I would always choose a Kimpton Hotel. Hotel George is a great one in the District (home of Bistro Bis). I had a meeting here once, which was my first introduction to this particular hotel which is right in the center of Capitol Hill and one block from Union Station; it was a GREAT space to have a meeting. They had all the technology and services that a larger hotel would have, but there was definitely a more personalized touch. One of the meeting attendees had a room there and it was gorgeous. This particular hotel even offers in-room massages. Love that! They also give you a complimentary weekday newspaper delivered to your door, and a complimentary daily shoeshine.It was because of this meeting, resulting in my exposure to this place that I subsequently have stayed in Kimpton Group Hotels whenever possible. Every hotel offers different amenities too so it is always fun to see what each has. read more

My dad was getting sworn in to the us Supreme Court (yay) and since it was Memorial Day weekend we decided to make a long weekend out of it. My dad booked the rooms so I really can't say on that aspect but I'm annoyed I've spent my life staying and hiltons and Marriott. I think I need to stay at kimptons from now on. Service at the front desk was phenomenal. Friendly ladies who answered our every question. We checked in and were offered a glass of wine. Apparently they have free wine hour every evening. Who doesn't like wine?? Well I'm sure there are people, but I'm not one of them. Our bags were brought up to our rooms while we jetted around the corner to run an errand. Went up to the rooms. Decor was lovely. While the candle lights on the bathroom wall was a little cheesy, I get they are trying to make it romantic. Separate tub and shower - my boyfriend, who unfortunately couldn't make it down would have died. I don't even take baths and I took one! Although, would have liked some bubble bath. Yes, I could have called down and I'm sure it would have been brought up. But, by the time I had committed to the bath, the water was already running. Also, the robe situation - you get a choice of cheetah and zebra. I know there are people who like those patterns, but I'm not a real New Jersey housewife, so I'm not one of them. Would prefer a plane white one. However, the umbrellas in the room came in quite handy more than once as it down poured while we were there. In room coffee. They have little keueigs in the room. Which I think it's an excellent idea compared to the mini coffee pots (pretty much the only time I think keueig coffee is acceptable). But the first night I was there they had the powered "milk," for the coffee. Gross. But the next morning they gave the little mini coffeemates. World of difference. However, I do think they need to do at least two bottle of water for free instead of charging $6 a bottle. It's water! Our stay was outstanding. The staff was amazing and went out of their way. I'm beginning to wonder why I stay at hiltons and Marriotts, that might be changing. read more

Stayed here last year. Cute boutique hotel. Happy hour downstairs (complimentary wine) . Almost dark and cozy rooms.

Absolutely LOVED The George Hotel! We came for a three day weekend for my wife's birthday, and upon arrival we enjoyed FREE wine during wine hour (5-6pm) and was given a complementary bottle to take to our room to enjoy later. We were even given a toy car for our son to have and play with. The room is simply beautiful with very detailed decor that honors the first president of the US very well, while also being pretty romantic and delicate all at the same time. Front desk staff makes you feel welcomed and treats you as family. Thanks Katherine and Blair! Union station is nearby which makes it very easy to travel to the White House and other attractions such as the Zoo. You could walk to the capital building and museums if you want being that they are only blocks away. All in all this place is a gem. We will DEFINITELY be back here in the near future! It's a MUST stay! read more

This is a clean and modern hotel w decent amenities. Check in is easy & reception is friendly & helpful. They gave us all the key info - wine hour, wifi pw, gym avail, etc. if u forget stuff they got it! Had the unfortunate exp where there were funky odors in hallway & let the reception know. They addressed - was happy that they were responsive & helpful. The staff that makes up the rooms r very respectful & take great care in what they do. It's great to c service like this! read more

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was very big and comfortable, and also very clean. The customer service at the restaurant and the hotel receptionist were A-1. I even got a free bottle of champagne just because. Everyone was really nice and I'd love to stay here again once we are out of the pandemic. read more

Great customer service and trendy hotel, might return once DC opens. The room was a good size, everything was clean and orderly. I docked it two stars because the amenities were still closed and the room was a little outdated. The shower head needs to be replaced and windows seemed to not properly shut. Overall, this place was worth it due to management and front desk staff. Also, ask for a loaner bike - they are oddly smooth and light to ride. read more

Great overall hotel. Realistically I've never been disappointed by a kimpton and this will continue that pattern. Like always the rooms are clean, the staff is extremely helpful, the decor is unique, and the happy hour is never bad. My boyfriend and I came during the holiday season and upon checking in we had the option of wine or a hot toddy. We checked in near the end of the happy hour so they took our bags and handed us a drink immediately so that we could take it up to our room and get settled in. The location is great for people working out on the hill or if you're looking for a hotel in extremely close distance to Union Station. However if you're looking to visit DC and see the social scene, restaurants, and quick access to the National Mall, this location can be a bit of a hike. Also, in terms of restaurants, I recommend going to Chinatown/Downtown DC. The one here is good, but a little pricey for the quality and selection of food. read more

Kimpton George Hotel - The lobby - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Our stay here was great! The location in relation to everything we wanted to see was really good. Johnny P, the evening front desk person is a total trip! The only real downer was the fact that there was no pool. read more

Staying in Washington DC for nearly a full week during a conference, my husband and I decided to stay at Hotel George thanks to it's unique and modern appearance, and proximity to the National Mall. At the start of our trip, as other Yelpers have mentioned, we were bummed to find that the immediate area around the hotel is a bit of a restaurant desert. As we got to know the area, we managed to find lots of wonderful food options around 7th (ahem, Matchbox, Daikaya Ramen Shop, and Pitango), which is all about one mile West of Hotel George. It's a straight shot and not a bad walk when the weather is nice, otherwise it's about a $5 fare via Uber if the weather isn't so nice. Our room had all the amenities I've come to rely on - a Keurig with coffee and green/black tea k-cups, shave kits, toothbrushes, etc. I appreciated seeing that their shampoo/conditioner were in large permanent bottles in the shower which reduces plastic waste immensely (way to go, Hotel George!), but was confused why the hotel doesn't offer a green towel program as nearly every other hotel I've stayed at in the last several years has offered (you know... throw your towel on the floor if you want a fresh one so we're not wasting so much water to wash a billion towels every day). When I'm on vacation, I love the luxury of returning to my room to find a freshly-tucked bed and clean coffee cups, but I don't love the wastefulness of entirely new towels each day. It's also worth noting that Hotel George has a free wine hour for guests from 5-6pm, a wii in the lobby, and valet service. Rumor has it that they also have bikes available but it was too rainy/cold during my stay to find out for sure. read more

Nice, clean, comfy hotel. My wife and I were recent tourists and found this location to be great. They even left us a card and cake for our honeymoon. We were pretty central to everything, Union station, the Capital building, restaurants and bike rentals. Everything a tourist needs with a few blocks. Customer service was nice and friendly and our room was comfortable and clean. Would stay here again if ever in the area. read more

We stayed at the George during the July 4th weekend, and am I glad we did! This hotel is located at the most convenient place ever! Close to the metro, walking distance to almost everything - the Capitol Mall, downtown - and we walked to everything. The staff was very accommodating, friendly and helpful - they checked us in early and gave us directions to places that we wanted to go to, and made sure we have sunscreen on before heading out. We loved our room - it was spacious, and the mattress was pretty comfy. And the robes, mustn't forget the robes - the zebra and leopard print robes, which we thought were a little whimsical. We loved it! We joined the royalty program and we had free wifi during the duration of our stay and $10 credit towards the snack bar. Great place and would definitely stay here again. read more

one word: Kimpton! I was looking for a hotel in a great location with awesome reviews and Hotel George fit the bill.I stayed for 4 nights in Feb, 2016 and here are my pros and cons of the hotel: PROS: This is a Kimpton so you know service will be on point Free wine from 5-6 every night If you know the secret phrase you get a free goodie (right now it's "baby it's cold outside") Great location close to Union Station The room was huge for a big city hotel and even had a couch in it Animal friendly Free $10 credit to raid the mini bar if you are a Rewards member and free wireless too! If you forget something like a razor at home- don't worry the front desk has what you need CONS: Bistro Bis stopped serving breakfast at 10:30 and didn't open till 7 am Shampoo dispenser in shower was a bit of a pain to use (but environmentally friendly) My room lacked a tub -shower only On the morning I was checking out staff knocked on my door on 2 separate occasions starting about 8:30 am Overall Hotel George did not disappoint and I will stay here again read more

The hotel itself is very accommodating, how ever the front desk service SUCKS How are you going to make me wait 3 hours for rooms that should have been waiting for me. Then tell me that I was suppose to check in every 15 minutes. Are you lazy or do you not want my business? If your check in by yourself thats fine... If you check in as a group of people go to another hotel this place is terrible. If the front desk service is bad what about everything else? read more

Tiny room for the price. Charged us for a ton of additional stuff we didn't ask for. Valet parking was also 10 additional dollars a month than advertised ($65 instead of $55). Also charged us for the water bottles/amenities that we did not use. read more

A tiny gem stuck on Capitol Hill. Staff (Benjamin and Daniel, just to name two) were helpful and attentive. The room was smaller than some at the price, but plenty large enough for a solo traveler. Will absolutely use this for future trips. read more

Very disappointing. I'm not sure why people have given this hotel such good reviews. There was only one woman working the front desk on Friday when we checked in. She handled the line of four couples checking in AND had to answer the phone. Once we got upstairs, our keys didn't work. We had to go back down and wait in the line again. On day 2, the keys stopped working again! The hallways were very dark, low ceilings, and had a creepy feeling. Our room was smaller than expected and had a small shower. We had a lovely view of our neighbors as well as a few pairs of thong underwear and rubber gloves on the roof. There were also two old-looking robes we could wear if we chose. Overall, I would not stay here again or recommend it. read more

Not as pleased as I should have been. Very impressed with the decor, but unhappy with the service. I requested a room on a higher floor and with a glass shower (no tub). I got the exact opposite. 2nd floor and a tub/shower. read more

After making a reservation, I tried to speak with the hotel to ask a question regarding the IHG points. Below is a timeline on how the front desk and the alleged manager handled the situation: 1) I call, explain my situation, person working the front desk tells me he needs to ask his manager; 2) I wait for 10 minutes on hold, only for the same person to pick up the phone, talk to me as if he never heard my voice, beginning with "maam I am sorry for the hold," then proceeds to tell me I need to hold longer; 3) I get the same guy again, asks me to ask him the same question again, even though I mention that I already asked, and he already said he needed to ask his manager. I ask the same question, the person says I do not have a rewards number, and follows up by saying there is no rewards number associated with my reservation. I tell him that I am looking at my reservation and that my confirmation number is on the reservation confirmation. Turns out, he thought he was speaking with another customer. He confirms that my rewards number is associated with the reservation, then proceeds to ask me what my question was again. I ask him the question again, this time a little more frustrated, and he responds with, wait, you guessed it, he needs to ask his manager; 4) I finally get the manager, who did not know the policy, because it allegedly recently changed. Never got an answer to my question. All in all, before I even show up at this place, I hate it. read more

Had a great stay. The front desk attendant,Benjamin, was exceptional. Thank you. Would stay here again.

- great location. All local attractions are very easily accessible by walking or bus or metro. There is a circulator stop right near by to get any where on national mall. Union Station is right nearby to take bus or metro to any where. - Room was very nice and comfortable. I slept very soundly - The staff was very polite and helpful - deducting one star as the room service and prices of items in mini bar were excessively high. Four dollars for a bottle of water. For ordering food, $4 delivery charge, and then 20% service charge. read more

This hotel was so nice! Great room size, big bathroom, big bed, and all the amenities you need for a good hotel stay. I love Kimpton hotels, and this one definitely didn't disappoint. They have wine hour from 5-6 pm everyday and you can even take your glass to your room if you don't want to stay in the lobby. The hotel was close to Union station and Capitol Hill. Great customer service from the employees. Will definitely be back! read more

Checked in last night for 3 night stay. The staff is incredibly courteous and calming, just what's needed to start off a getaway for this Type A personality. They even noted my "room with natural light" request which was surprising as most places ask questions but pay no attention. We were spoiled with our view at the Mandarin Oriental last October, but we are pleased with our accommodations at the George although there is no view. Free wifi & $10 MiniBar credit with KimptonKarma rewards, free to join. After experiencing crowds for the Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, etc., it was wonderful to come back to the hotel and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine from The George's wonderfully warm and kind young man staffer who checked us in Last night. Where did they get these exemplary employees? We needed maintenance as we could not get into the minibar and maintenance literally arrived within minutes and he was also extremely courteous and quickly took care of it. While we are very happy with our accommodations, we highly recommend The George based on their employees! Sent from my iPhone read more

Kimpton George Hotel - The bathroom decor was beautiful. - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

LOVE LOVE Kimpton Hotel Collection but The George is by far NEW favorite! Kimpton in my opinion does it BETTER than the W and while I'm a Ritz vacationer there is something about this Boutique that leaves you wanting just one more night! The room mini bars are abundantly stocked with the best variety! They stock nothing but the best toiletries and the beds are plush and dressed for a long sound slumber. The staff goes above and beyond BEFORE you even bother to ask! From the concierge making it all to easy to unload/load the bags right at the front door to the front desk staff taking even the smallest complaint very serious it all equals an OTT customer service experience! ALL of our mini stay-cations are always booked at a Kimpton but I think I just found my all time favorite and quarterly weekend home-away-from-home. read more

WE love the Kimpton chain and just spent 2 nights in Philly at the Kimpton Monaco so when we booked this one we expected the same standards. Unfortunately This one is just not up to the same standards. It is a somewhat rundown, they are not watching the details as the other Kimpton hotels. Our room had a faint mold smell, the room was very small, items are chipped. These are very small issues, I know but after the other hotels This was a disappointment. read more

To keep it short I loved the room and the beds were so comfortable! The front staff was very attentive and pleasant. Valet was quick and helpful. Definitely would recommend this place. Plus they have a great view of the White House upon arriving depending on which way you're coming towards the hotel. read more

George did not honor my reservation. They oversold and tried to put me at a Motel 6 but as a "Platinum Elite" member I pushed back and they put me at A Kimoton 2 miles away. I had to cancel a breakfast meeting the next day and a dinner the next night. Not dependable at all. read more

I had a good stay here. 5 nights. I had a basic room and it was just right. The bed was comfortable, there was enough space for my clothes and suitcase, and best of all the bathroom was large and bright. Water pressure excellent in the shower. I slept okay except for early morning neighborhood noise - not the hotels fault at all. The workout room was small but we'll equipped. I had several good workouts. I had a love-hate thing going on with the tray of snacks. In the end I'm glad they were there. If I hadn't been lazy I could have walked 3 minutes over to Union Station and hit up Walgreens for my own snacks. Speaking of, the selection of munchies at that place would satisfy the whole state of Colorado at 4:20, if you know what I'm saying. I'm withholding one star for the lack of a fridge and no microwave. I need those things. Oh, splurge a little and have a meal at Bistro Bis. It was great. read more

Got my booking on hotels.com , paid 205 plus 70+ in fees and valet parking for a deluxe queen room. Was not satisfied, the shower/tub combination was tiny and reminded me of one in motel 6 bathroom. Our room was 814 and we had a great view... Of the brick building like 30 feet in front of us. They did have real shampoo/conditioner/body wash but it was a pump bottle that was nailed to the shower wall that made it hard to get any product out. And the minibar was exorbitantly overpriced. Oreos were 4$ for a pack of 4... They did have a cute bakery on the corner of the block (corner bakery cafe(that) the receptionist recommended to us. And that's where we had breakfast, and it was delicious! All of the people who work there that we encountered were kind and a joy to interact with. read more

This was our initial trip to DC. Friends who live in the DC area encouraged us to stay at a Kimpton Hotel. We chose The George because of good reviews, close proximity to Capitol Hill, Union Station. We also wanted on site restaurant, a smaller friendly hotel with good service. We received all of that and more. The room was perfect for us comfy clean beds with good clean pillows, Large bathroom with separate shower. The restaurant is Bistro Bis, French, and absolutely wonderful. With all the fabulous restaurants in the city we chose to eat here 3 nights- the 100 degree weather, sightseeing wore us out. We were SO happy to sit at the bar in the restaurant and enjoy a first class full meal. This restaurant must be a secret as it should be quite busy but isn't. The service at the bar is excellent, friendly, perfect. I would highly recommend Hotel George for all these reasons. We will look forward to staying at Kimpton in future travel. read more
