Topaz Hotel
1733 N Street, NW
Washington, DC 20036
Those who think DC is a bit stuffy haven't been here! The Topaz is an urban sanctuary that is both serene (check out the Zen Den) and dynamic (a very happening bar).
You'll be cosseted in color and pampered with amenities here; all within three blocks of Dupont Circle!
In keeping with the Kimpton's arrangement with us, the Burnham is being offered to Academic Ambassadors at their Best Available Rate (BAR) minus 20% through April 1st (10% thereafter).

Hotel Palomar
2121 P Street, NW
Washington, DC 20037
This is my go-to place in the District—so close to everything, but an urbane oasis, also. With its clean lines and splashes of bold color, the Palomar is sophisticated without being trendy.
The rooms are roomy and smartly decorated; the public spaces inviting and stimulating (free wine hour! Outdoor pool!!).
And, if you truly need to leave the hotel, Dupont Circle and the Metro are just steps away.

And while I've showcased these three, they have some great-looking cousins (Kimptons all) nearby, including:
the Madera in Dupont Circle, the George on Capitol Hill and,
perhaps the cream of the lot, the Monaco at Penn Quarter/Downtown.
