Kimpton Hotel Monaco DC

Washington, DC


A bold-green, art-deco-inspired interior helps polish the cool-cat vibe at this temple to glamour. Set in the 1839 Tariff Building, a neoclassical landmark, the Monaco wows in its public areas. Some rooms are on the small side, but they feel fresh thanks to a champagne-and-blue palette, high ceiling, and a lion's head architectural medallion gazing out from the wall.

The location works well for families: it’s near lots of quick-bite restaurants, and it's four blocks from the Mall. Kids get special toys and treats, adults sip free happy-hour wine, and active types can ride the complimentary bicycles, as per all Kimpton-brand properties.
