What a great five night stay at the Embassy Circle Guesthouse! I was looking for an alternative to a big city hotel and found it in spades at this gem of a B&B. Some high points: • Sense of place – the Guesthouse is a meticulously restored former embassy with fine traditional furnishings and hand picked artwork. The ambience is... More

I must agree with other reviewers that the Embassy Circle is a truly unique place to stay. The hosts Laura and Raymond and the staff will do everything they can to make you feel welcome. Every morning Laura joined the guests for breakfast introducing new guests and getting the conversation going. One afternoon Raymond prepared delicious appetizers from his native... More

This beautifully restored home is a fabulous place to stay when visiting DC. The owners, Laura and Raymond, are the warmest and most charming hosts that you can imagine. After our first stay with them four years ago, we felt like we had known them forever. The rooms are appointed with antiques and lovely oriental rugs, beautiful artwork, and comfy... More

We stay with Laura and Raymond at their beautiful and well-situated inn when we travel to DC to visit our daughter. All the superlatives voiced by other reviewers, including the practice of real conversation at the drawing room or at the breakfast table, are right on. One of the many plusses here. though, is the delightful staff -- especially Angela... More

I was expecting high standards and that is what we got. After a nightmare of a journey caused by a BA cancellation and then 2 hours in US immigration, Raymond graciously waited up to let us in at 11.00pm. It was very kind. We had a beautiful room and excellent shower room; Laura and her staff looked after us for... More

We recently returned from a wonderful stay at the Embassy Circle Guest House. Beautiful, spotless, comfortable room, light but lovely breakfast (coffee perfection), brownies and cookies in the afternoon, followed by wine/beer every night and "AMAZING" appetizers on our last evening. Not to mention stimulating, funny, interesting conversations with other guests from all around the world. Easy access to the... More

This inn is absolutely wonderful! The house itself is just beautiful, the rooms are elegant and comfortable, the hosts are warm and friendly, the staff is super helpful. And the location is great - the neighborhood is beautiful and feels very safe, and there are tons of really nice restaurants within walking distance. Overall, I think this was the perfect... More

Quality through out with personal touches second to none. Above any "B&B" we've ever stayed at. Laura, Ray, Angela, Josephene and staff couldn't be nicer. Fascinating conversationalists with an international group of guests most of whom are repeat guests. 3 blocks from DuPont circle with many good restaurants in area and 4 block walk to the Metro. Refreshing vacation from... More

Ray and Laura are the best of hosts. The standards they keep at the B&B are second to none and you would think that with these standards the place would feel a little stuffy, quite the opposite. Laura and Ray make you feel at home from the moment you arrive until you depart. I was traveling alone and they were... More
