Washington, D.C. has been slow to the boutique/design/lifestyle hotel game so Thompson Hotels' Donovan House stands out amongst travelers looking for a chic stay in the city.

It's also kinda cheap too. Tablet Hotels has rooms listed at the Donovan for $149 a night from July 1 to September 1.

Those rates will get you a queen superior room with a queen bed, the cocoon spiral shower, Kiehl's bath products and free WiFi. If you want a king bed, the rate bumps up to $189.

And the deal is for real. We checked dates both during the week and on the weekend in July and found $149 rates both times.

Reviews on the place are solid with the majority of the gripes about how the restaurant or the rooftop bar wasn't yet open (The rooftop should now be.) But this is Thompson--King of the Piece-by-Piece Openings--so we aren't too surprised.
