NYT Declares DC's Dupont Hotel 'Boutiquey,' Not 'Creaky'
As we busy ourselves heaping hype on the soon-to-open W Washington DC and soon-to-reopen Jefferson, we’ve pretty much ignored the capital’s new Dupont Hotel. Shame on us, we suppose: The hotel is a revamped, posher version of the former Jurys Washington Hotel. It re-opened its doors fairly quietly amid...

Great location...the bar facing the Circle is good anytime to watch folks. Busy place. -
Great rooms...even mine in the back with the crappy wall view. If view matters to you, avoid rooms ending in -12. -

Lounge that tries a bit too hard
Bar Dupont certainly has its moments. If you can hit it up when it's quiet (after happy hour on a Tues or Wed), the vibe is very cool. The views through the giant glass windows of Dupont Circle are fascinating. The relaxing furniture helps for optimally soaking in those views. The downside is that it's usually too loud to have a quiet conversation as a result of the way sound travels and the techno can get to be a bit too much- take your first dates somewhere else!
