Fodor's Expert Review Embassy Circle Guest House

2224 R St. NW, Washington, District of Columbia, 20008, USA Fodor's Choice

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Owners Laura and Raymond Saba have lovingly restored the former Taiwan embassy, transforming the 1902 mansion into a warm and friendly home away from home. Rooms are bright, with light-wood floors and Oriental rugs, and the house is filled with works by artists who have been guests. The charming pair likes to introduce guests to each other during breakfast or at the evening beer and wine-and-cheese reception, and they are happy to make restaurant recommendations.
