Fodor's Review:

The Donovan House is doing its part to dispel the myth that only stodgy hotels exist in the nation's capital. Complete with hanging egg chairs in the lobby, deep plumb color scheme, bedside iPod docking stations, Kiehl's toiletries, and circular showers, it's not even remotely close to the colonial reproductions you might normally find downtown. The urban boutique-style hotel opened in March 2008 and is the first DC property for the Thompson Hotels chain. Guests tend to be as hip as the décor, often taking advantage of the nearby clubs when the sun goes down. The in-house restaurant and bar are set to open in fall 2008. Pros: rooftop pool; located near clubs. Cons: rooms on the small-side; 10-minute walk to metro.
