Very modern and spare--but not cold or boring. In the words of my 12-year -old son, "this is too cool". He was especially fond of the retro-modern chairs, the fluffy comforters on the bed (no floral bedspreads here!), and the "cocoon shower". I loved the professionalism of the staff and the low-key, but sophisticated vibe. Hotel and parking staff were... more

I stayed at the Donovan House for a week whilst in DC for business. First impressions very positive: good check-in, upgrade from queen to king, chic lobby, nice room with the spiral. The shower itself is a nice design feature, but from an experience perspective it is the same as a standard shower. The bed was comfortable, the free wi-fi... more

In DC for an extended stay and was lucky enough to find a room at this new hotel. I have stayed in DC many times in different hotels and this is by far the best. Friendly staff, super clean rooms, great service, great location, great room design. Everything is first class. Gym is perfect...has everything you need. No negatives! more

I stayed at the Donovan House for only a night as I had a quick meeting to attend in DC. I've always been a fan of the Thompson Hotel group. I've always loved their aesthetic, find their rooms comfortable, and enjoy the good-brand bath products (in this one it was Kiehls) they offer. The Donovan House also tops their NYC... more

I stayed at the Donovan House for a week while in DC on business. It was very clean and nicely decorated. I loved the free coffee in the mornings but the muffins didn't appeal to me. Since I was traveling alone, I liked the fact that the only way to use the elevators was to insert a functional room key.... more

I personally picked out this hotel for a conference and was very please with my stay. The location is great - it’s right across the street from a Walgreens and there are plenty of eateries around the hotel. I thought the staff was good. They don't have the greatest room service menu. One night I ordered from Takeout Taxi because... more

Donovan House is at the heart of Thompson Circle, a charming neighborhood close to P street action and a 10 minute walk away from Pennsylvania Avenue. LOVED the hotel. My room was cute, comfortable, and the overall design was very sexy. Was in town on business for four days and wish it had been longer. Rooftop pool is very nice... more

I always judge my hotel stay in part by its Caesar salad. the Donovan House gets its Caesar salads from the Italian restaurant across the street.. I ordered one for lunch and when it was all said and done, with grilled chicken, my bill was 32US. dollars. Was it good you ask? Not 32US good, i have to be honest.... more

Loved the actual hotel...Might just be the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in...maybe cuz it's brand spankin new. Shower is cool, bathroom is amazing, and Deluxe King Room is quite large. Only problem though is location....it is downtown but about 15 minute walk just to the White House and way too far to walk to the Capitol especially in... more

Loved the room and had a good view on Thomas Circle. Close to White House and Washington Monument. 2 blocks away from subway. Bed was supercomfortable. I would say the spiral shower is a bit overrated but was different. Wireless internet was complimentary. Definitely recommended, however I did not pay full price so my expectations weren't quite as high as... more
