“Great night in DC!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

We had stayed at the Hotel Monaco about a year ago for a wedding and LOVED the hotel, location, staff, etc. We decided to return last weekend as a "mini-getaway" for our anniversary. Again, we were incredibly pleased with the staff, our room, the service, and the restaurant. Reggie, at the bar at Poste was great to chat with and made some fantastic cocktails (try the basil lemontini)! The rooms feel immense with very high ceilings and great decor! The staff was extremely helpful and made our stay fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel!

“really still love this hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

although we stayed in the smallest room in their inventory, i still really love this hotel. the initial build out and recent soft reno just makes sense. it's 4 stories of rooms with great high ceilings and a cool vibe. the restaurant is usually packed so make a reservation. we did the imax late movie and returned to a nearly empty bar with great service (perhaps we missed the rush - thank goodness). although winter, i could imagine having a cocktail in the center courtyard of the hotel. what really makes it worth it is the staff. friendly, knowledgable and gracious - a really excellent stay all around.

Room Tip: grab a room on floors 2 or 3. you'll avoid the noise of any function happening on 4 and their at...

“Historic building in a great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

Great night stay. At this hotel the service was outstanding as they upgraded us to a suite and gave us a bottle of champagne as we were celebrating a birthday. Would def go back, love the evening happy hour in the lobby.

Room Tip: Get a suite if you can lots of room

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

My family and I were in toto catch a hockey game and picked this hotel due to its location (2 blocks from arena) and our familiarity with the Kimpton brand - which we love.

Nice hotel that tried successfully to keep the history of the hotel and building. Rooms are large and unique layout. Hotel w clean. Lobby vibrant.
The hotels layout is ingesting and the only way into the hotel is from the main entrance eventhough many doors within the first floor to exit hotel.

Location was fabulous and overall great experience. Walked around and found things to do for entire family.
Already booked another stay for a wedding this spring.
