Top National Portrait Gallery Hotel Reviews

Arlo Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Events closed the rooftop bar several nights"

The Westin DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Quick and efficient check in and check out. Excellent location and rooms were very comfortable. We would stay here again!"

Morrison Clark Historic Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional Hospitality—Morrison-Clark Is Now My Home Away from Home I contacted the Morrison-Clark Hotel before my stay, and from that very first interaction, Maria set an extraordinary standard for hospitality. I have traveled throughout the United States and around the world, and I can honestly say that I have never encountered a front-desk professional quite like Maria. She could teach a master class in customer service. She was gracious, attentive, knowledgeable, and committed to ensuring that every detail was handled with care—even before I arrived at the hotel. That exceptional service continued throughout our stay. I reserved five rooms, and every member of the team—from the front desk and housekeeping staff to the restaurant team and bell staff—was professional, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Their collective commitment to excellence made our entire experience memorable. The Morrison-Clark Hotel has earned my highest recommendation and will now be my home away from home whenever I am in Washington, D.C. Maria, thank you for setting the standard before I ever walked through the hotel’s doors. You and the entire Morrison-Clark team demonstrated hospitality at its very best. Excellence is not simply promised at Morrison-Clark—it is delivered."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Es un 10/10. La ubicación es ideal. El hotel es moderno, con bar, zonas comunes con mucha onda. Tiene un restó de sushi con terraza espectacular, con vista al Capitolio. La habitación impecable, moderna aunque chiquita, pero muy tecnológico todo. Elegiría este hotel si volviera. El personal muy amable."

Grand Hyatt Washington

8/10 Good

"I would have liked a heads up on construction that is happening and entrance to use. Also would be nice if room had some drinkware available for use while in room. The credit provided was not used as only in for the night. We already had dinner plans and checkin/checkout time did not align with our stay. The snacks available were very limiting."

AC Hotel by Marriott Washington DC Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"My first time in DC and I will choose this hotel every time! Conveniently located and in a walkable area. Room was spacious and clean. Common areas were clean and well maintained. The best part of the hotel is the rooftop restaurant/lounge. A fun place to go on a Friday and Saturday night. I would absolutely recommend this hotel if you want convenience, luxury, and fun"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"I will definitely be back. The location is great for getting around easily. The staff is top tier. Front desk was welcoming and accommodating. The staff at the restaurant was also amazing. The room was very comfortable."

Riggs Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Staff were amazing, location of property is perfect. Room was functional but would prefer a proper chair or desk chair for seating instead of upholstered ottomans."

JW Marriott Washington DC

8/10 Good

"The distance to everything we wanted or needed to do was great!"
