We have stayed at the Madera many times. The rooms are spacious - we like the double queen because it gives so much room. The staff is always attentive and ready to help. The hotel is located near many great restaurants. If you aren't an InTouch member become one. I love the mini bar discount and the 5 PM wine.... More

The Madera, my new “abode” in Washington D.C, is a hotel that has a lovely character and noble attributes; the small lobby became a grandeur when the associates, vested with unselfishness personality, started helping and making me feel that I was at home. The luggage was taken to the room and once the electronic key opened the door, the glitziness... More

We arrived in DC in July. Hot much? The last thing I wanted to be was hot and sticky with hideous crowds. We someone muddled through the crowds which weren't too hideous but the joy for the day was always when we arrived back at Madera. First of all, it is a real neighborhood. Dupont Circle is loaded with charm... More

Dear TracyHawaii, DC definately gets hot and muggy in July, makes it great for everyone to enjoy all the museums and the air conditioning in them. I am glad you and your Son had a wonderful visit to DC and the Madera. The Dupont Circle neighborhood is a wonderful spot to get a true local flavor of DC, great shopping,... More

The Madera is not terribly fancy, but it was clean, quiet and comfortable. Had a great night's sleep. Room was big. Not much of a reception area to speak of, but the Firefly restaurant in the same building was nice to hang out in...their food was creative and excellent, though the drinks were a little pricey ($12.50 for a specialty...

Also, we want to provide a comfortable Hotel and guest room for every to enjoy and feel comfortable. I am glad you enjoyed... More

I found this to be the perfect spot (large, comfortable and tastefully decorated room, accompanied by friendly service) for staying near a conference I attended recently. The conference was in a larger, more expensive hotel that (to my taste) was less attractive. I also enjoyed the adjacent Firefly Restaurant and the easy, pleasant walks to Dupont Circle. More

We stayed at the Madera for a long weekend. The room was nicely decorated, quiet, and very comfortable. Our room was on the street side above the entry canopy, with a view of the Egyptian embassy. Even though it was overlooking New Hampshire Ave., there was very little street noise. However, it was very cold pretty cold outside so, the... More

Hello Denver58! I am thrilled to see your stay was perfect!!! You need to visit in the warmer months so you can enjoy the balcony a little more. It is great to relax out there after a long day. You also need to visit more often since our Firefly restaurant changes their menu with the seasons. Thanks for such a... More

Visiting on business, I appreciated the comfort of the room, the friendliness of the staff and the nearness to the DC Metro.

Hotel was nice with great personal attention, big rooms, and great location. There is a small list of negatives, however: the bathrooms are very tiny, the bathrobes were scratchy and seemed old, and most importantly, when I arrived back at 2am my room smelled like cigarettes. In the bathroom the smell was strongest and I could smell it coming in... More

To be fair, we love Kimpton hotels and make an effort to stay at a Kimpton whenever possible. They are just kind of funky and fun.
