$$$, Dupont Circle
Fodor's Review:
It's remarkable that a commercial chain can feel so cozy, but this Residence Inn does just that by offering a small fireplace sitting room right off the lobby. The hotel has studios and one- and two-bedroom suites, excellent for business travelers or families. An evening reception (Monday through Thursday) is offered with complimentary snacks, and Mimi's American Bistro next door has an innovative bar with piano and cabaret-style singing on the weekends.
