I read some of the other tripadvisor reviews of this hotel and had to double check I had been at the same place. Unfortunately, I had. My experience was very different from other travellers. You are greeted at the main entrance not by automatic doors, but automatic curtains, in purple velvet that swish back to allow you in. It's very... More

Once again Helix does not disappoint. One of my favorite places to stay in spring/summer.Tree-lined streets are very nice. Neighborhood has grown (regentrified) a lot in last few years, and there are now many more restaurant options. Staff and room were excellent as usual. Much preferred over Kimpton's Rouge, just a few blocks away. Happened to mention I would be... More

Recently we had the pleasure of spending two nights at the Hotel Helix. Our Son was to graduate from George Washington University over the weekend and my wife, a favorite Aunt, and myself drove up from Georgia for the commencement exercises. . Our Son had flown in to D.C. earlier and was staying with friends, so he did not stay... More

The hotel is beautiful. It's stylish, modern, affordable and located just ten minutes north of the White House. Unfortunately the attention to detail did not flow over from style into cleanliness and maintenance. Upon checking in we decided to set up a wake up call for the next morning and plan our day. The phone in our room (two phones... More

The hotel need a renovation, the breakfast was terrible, because is using old oil for food especially for French toast, location is quite normal, but too far for metro station. All hotel need a renovation, the staff was friendly.

However, at the time of booking I remember remarking that it included breakfast (thats why I was so pleased with the offer, as it was like for like), but at the hotel we were... More

We had a one-night stay at the Helix to celebrate our anniversary. We love Kimpton hotels and wanted to explore this part of the city that we are not that familiar with. From check-in to check-out, everyone was very kind and helpful. We enjoyed the free happy hour at their outside lounge where we mingled with fellow hotel guests. We... More

I have stayed at a number of placed in DC over the years. As you may know it may get quite pricey there especially if you visit during on weekdays. Helix was a great value for the price. I am becoming a bit of a fan of Kimpton hotels for their high energy places with great attitude, modern rooms and... More

We had a great time in DC staying at the Hotel Helix. Great service, great room - and we even received a free room upgrade to celebrate my birthday.Definitely the best time we've ever had! We received complimentary cupcakes and champagne also. Would stay there again and any Kimpton Hotel for that matter. Very modern and cool décor.
