If this is the best B&B that DC has to offer, I wouldn't book one at all. I love staying at B&B's and although the location is great, and the front porch is wonderful to watch the world go by, the B&B is not at all what you'd expect. The pictures are not accurate of the room. The room is... More

We recently stayed a week at the terrific Swann House in DC, located just blocks off Dupont Circle. Wife, daughter & I occupied a suite in the main house (Blue Sky) for 5 days and then switched over to a basement suite (Parisienne) for the remainder. Both featured plenty of room, 2 separate bed chambers, fireplaces, sitting areas, small fridges... More

My husband and I spent last weekend at the Swann House, I have nothing but good things to say about it. This is a beautiful old house with much charm, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We stayed in the Regent room, it was wonderful. The room is quite large the bed was very comfortable, it has a large carved wood... More

Spending a few days in D.C. in mid-March, visiting museums and other sites on foot during a period of unseasonably cold weather, we were so glad to return to the Swann House in the late afternoon, sip sherry or tea and enjoy a slice of apple pie or coffee cake in the parlour, and kick back for a while before...

We had a fantastic stay at the Swann House located near Dupont Circle. The accommodations and staff are outstanding. We enjoyed the daily breakfast and afternoon treats (sherry included). We stayed in the Parisienne Suite access through a gated brick courtyard. It was very quiet. It was spacious and had a nice sitting area near windows so you can curl... More

This is a very lovely place. The Innkeepers are warm and accommodating. Breakfast is good, but a bit high on the carbohydrate side.However, there's always a hard boiled egg to fall back on. My room was Il Duomo, on the top floor. A lovely room, but really not clean enough for me. The mirror in the bedroom was dusty and... More

Came here for a weekend getaway. We had the Blue Sky room. I have some positives and negatives about the Swann House. The location of the B&B was very convenient to the Metro and to Dupont Circle. However, the B&B was across the street from a dog park. Dogs could be heard from our room barking at all hours. We... More

This wonderful historic house is just around the corner from Dupont circle and a wonderful location, not too far from the metro. The staff are wonderful, friendly and gregarious. When I was there last winter sherry was offered in the common areas for free and crackers with wonderful spreads were put out daily. The place felt like a home away... More

My girlfriend and I were traveling to Charleston, SC and we had to take a break, so we called late one afternoon driving through Baltimore, and made a last minute reservation. They let us know what room they had left, and a little bit about it. We got there around 8 at night, and there was brandy available if we... More
