I cannot fault the service and in particular Phillip, the concierge, my sister and her new husband stayed at the hotel for their wedding night and I telephoned from the UK to arrange a gift to be placed in their room. On telephoning the hotel I was put though to Phillip who immediately emailed me (to save on long distance... More

Palomar is the type of place that makes you feel welcome from the moment you drive up. Valet took the car and bags, front lobby has a roaring fire and wine flowing (how is that, a wine tasting EVERY day), front desk gets us into our room in a flash. So far so good. Executive King room was large and... More

We absolutely loved our stay here and I am now in the middle of booking our second stay (and third Kimpton hotel) at the moment! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful - always smiling and happy to assist with anything we needed :) We loved our room and especially loved our late night room service. We were incredibly jetlagged... More

I have been a huge fan of Kimpton for a long time, so it saddens me to write that my recent return to the Palomar was a disappointment. The lobby has turned dingy and the first room to which I was shown was a disaster. I paid extra for a "suite". Unfortunately this suite (836 I believe) was one very... More

I think it is hard to overestimate how much an enthusiastic, cheerful greeting can brighten your day and affect your perception of a hotel, maybe even of a city in general. So kudos to the Palomar staff. Every staff person we encountered went out of their way to be pleasant and welcoming to us. The personable attitude even made up... More

I booked a suite in this hotel for my boyfriend's birthday to celebrate with a few friends and everyone was impressed with the room. The suite was large with a separate living and bed room. And the bed room was huge! The bathroom had a separate large soaking tub with a separate shower and that tub was amazing. there is... More

Within easy walking distance of DuPont Circle, the Palomar is an excellent hotel with solid service and beautiful public spaces (at least the ones we saw). We were given a larger room than what we paid for, which was a pleasant surprise. The room was immaculate and tastefully decorated, although an additional real chair (other than the lounger and the... More

it was my first time in DC, so did not have any clue which hotel to choose. Only after I booked Palomar, I found out that it was awarded by TripAdvisor. And i should say - this was great experience. Nice location and neighborhood, very nice and helpful staff, big and comfortable rooms. An additional bonus - free wine reception... More

Stayed for seven nights for a business conference. Excellent service. Great freebies like wine tasting from 5-6, and free Internet and 'raid the mini-bar' voucher for Kimpton members. Restaurant and bar are very good. Across the street from an enjoyable Italian restaurant. Close to metro and easy to get a cab. All this, at a great rate. Recommended More
