I've stayed at many B&B's. This one tops them all. No, I'm not related or friends of the owners. We arrived early...very early. Five hours before check-in. Nonetheless, the staff welcomed us like family. Within minutes we were escorted to our room. We told the Innkeeper that we had to leave in the morning before 7am, 45 minutes before they... More

The level of comfort exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the “Milano” for five days and we were completely at home. The room is spacious and beautifully decorated along with exceptional bath facilities. The staff truly makes you feel like family; not just travelers passing through. We thoroughly enjoyed the warm breakfast dish each day and highly recommend the granola.... More

This is our fourth trip in one year staying at the Swann House and I wish we had discovered it earlier. It truly is our home away from home. The accommodations are beautiful and luxurious. The staff is like family. Centrally located in the lovely Dupont Circle neighborhood - walking distance to the White House, monuments, restaurants, and more.

The exterior is charming. We reserved the Parisienne Suite and we were not told that it is in the basement. The entrance to the room is down 6 steep narrow steps and our little pieces of luggage were a bit difficult.The room had a basement smell and the carpet was a bit worn.The bathroom is very nice. The afternoon snacks... More

The Swann House is awesome. The location is hard to beat - 5 blocks off Dupont Circle in a beautiful neighborhood. Dupont Circle is lively and has a metro station. We could leave the Swann House and be at The National Mall in less than 15 minutes. We stayed in the Shanghaid'away (each room has its own name). The room... More

Not being comfortable in large impersonal hotels, we opted for something different and Swann House delivered in spades. The house is elegant and gracious, and staffed by what must be the most helpful in town. The homecooking at breakfast was unbeatable from a hot dish to beautiful muffins, with granola, fresh fruit and a selection of breads to toast. After... More

My husband and I had the wonderful experience of staying at the Swann House while driving up from Florida. We always choose select registry properties because we know we can count on them being clean and comfortable and Swann house was all this and more! The charming exterior is matched by the charm of the interior and the staff working... More

My husband just happened to find the Swann House on the internet when searching for a unique place for our Grandaughter to get married. Her Fiance was in the military and they couldn't be apart any longer so we all flew to Washington DC and they were married in the historic, beautiful living room at the romantic Swann House. The...

We spent two days at Swann House and enjoyed every minute of it. The facility is elegant without being stuffy, the rooms were very nicely appointed and clean as a whistle, the beds are very comfortable, the staff was knowledgeable and helpful about all aspects of visiting the nation's capital and the location is ideal. On top of that, the... More

Swann House is an elegant 19th century townhouse in an attractive part of DC. It is a short walk from the metro and there are a variety of restaurants in the area, so I found it a really good location. My room was well appointed, clean and tastefully decorated, not the usual corporate anonimity. During my stay I competed in... More
