Please note that this establishment was formerly known as Jury’s hotel.
Take it from someone who travels to DC several times per year for work, this is the BEST place to stay in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. First of all, the location is unbeatable. There are tons of restaurants, shops and bars within walking distance. If you need access to the Metro, the hotel is only a stone’s throw away from the Dupont Circle stop. This is such a great neighborhood – lotsa things to do, very hip, very pedestrian-friendly.
Second, the hotel has beautiful amenities. The hotel was nice enough when it was Jury’s. It’s only gotten better with its recent renovation into the Dupont Hotel. Spacious lobby, modern rooms, frees Wi-Fi, free business center, free gym, plasma TV’s in the rooms, etc. My most favorite part of the rooms though is the heated bathroom floor. What an amazing luxury! I was also very pleasantly surprised to see that they stock their bathrooms with Kiehl’s products. Impressive! Do note though that your Wi-Fi signal will be stronger or weaker, depending on where your room is situated in the building. Also, the rooms are modest in size. What they lack in square footage, they make up for with their beautiful decor and ammenities.
Third, the hotel is clean. I’ve stayed here several times and have never had any cleanliness issues.
Fourth, the staff is very nice. I had stayed here most recently as part of the Stay Lazy promo (approximately $140 per night, includes 2 pm check out and breakfast). I initially had some questions about the breakfast included in this promo so I called the hotel. While I was disappointed that it took a couple of transfers and a call back to get the answer I needed, everyone was nice and helpful throughout. When I did check in, I was supposed to have received a breakfast voucher. The voucher wasn’t ready right away and was supposed to be delivered to my room. When it didn’t arrive by 11 pm, I called the Front Desk and the night manager, said that no problem – I could just eat breakfast in the hotel restaurant the next morning and my bill would be removed from my bill at check out. That’s exactly what happened. So despite the confusion on the details of this promo, the package was overall a great deal and I am happy to say that my issues were satisfactorily resolved by the staff.
I believe that the Dupont Hotel tends to cater to business travelers as I've found their rates to be higher during the week. However, they do have great deals online (such as the Stay Lazy promo) so I encourage folks to search their web site for their money-saving deals. Even if you do end up paying full price for this hotel, it is worth it!
I’ve stayed at many Dupont Circle hotels in the past but have always come back to Jury’s / Dupont Hotel. This really is the best place to stay in DC. Love it!
