We were in DC seeing the sights, with the intent of spending the night somewhere then going to the National Zoo in the morning. Walking from the Ford Theatre to our car, we stopped in at Hotel Monaco (a Kimpton property), to check availability. Very friendly reception staff who, when told of our plans, suggested another Kimpton property closer to... More

This hotel came recommended and I glad that I booked it. The staff were super efficient and helpful. The room was large and well appointed and the bathroom was fantastic. WiFi in the room was also very fast and reliable. The area is the main draw here and walking around was a joy...with loads going on and good places to... More

I have stayed at this hotel several times and it is always a pleasure. The rooms are comfortably hip with an eclectic mix of fun furniture and crazy color schemes. Such a nice change from the many shades of tan that most hotels go with. In addition if you join their email program, I can't remember the name, you get... More

I had booked this hotel for a special anniversary for my American pen-friend and I - for us to share our 60th 'anniversary' of writing to each other. Wow! What a great choice I made. We were made welcome from the very first second of our arrival, and were always called by name by the staff - which made us... More

I love the Topaz. And like most Kimptons, the level of service here is superb. Rooms are spacious, comfy and quiet. I love that my room had a little alcove off the bathroom to get ready in. The wine hour is a nice touch, although I was only there one night for it. They don't have a fitness center on... More

I ended up booking 3 nights on a Friday arriving the same day and was greeted with a fantastic room, big and light with all ammenities. The free wine in the lobby or lounge every night from 5-6 is a Kimpton tradition I love. Rick the barman is awesome. This hotel is a little more subdued than the Helix which... More

I thought that Kimpton hotels did not fall below a certain standard, but I've had to revise that standard down after my stay at the Topaz. Our room was certainly spacious, but the decoration was ugly (I know this is subjective, but it's my review after all.) and a bit depressing, especially since the fittings were worn. The bed was...

Hi AndySilverfox7, Thanks for staying with us and for posting a review. As we head into the summer months rates lower than $400 won't be hard to come by. The same is true for most holidays and for the majority of the winter. Even then we'll likely not be the least expensive hotel option in the area. We're typically not... More

First I'll start with the positives: Very friendly and helpful staff. Large rooms with good quality toiletries and very comfortable bed. And great location. But, i have stayed at many boutique hotels, and this is a sorry attempt at putting some mid century modern decor into old rooms with popcorn ceilings and calling it "boutique". There is no real closet... More

Hi garrisonsara, Thanks for posting a review. I'm glad read that our folks were nice to you and that you like the location. Our design is colorful and unique. But, I get that the decor wont appeal to everyone. So, I can understand where you're coming from. Thanks for giving us a try. Donte More

The Topaz Hotel is very well located at Dupont Circle,the rooms were beautifully decorated with large and comfortable beds. My daughter loved the dressing room with the stylish robes. Although breakfast was included, I think it needs some improvement. The staff was very nice and helpful.
