What Guests Are Saying
“Great location, easy walking distance to the Capitol, Mall, etc. Right by Union Station, easy to rent a car there. My wife loved all the decorations centered around George Washington and his life. Had a great social hour (even gave me beer), had pretzels and peanuts in the lobby all day. We weren’t quite sure what breakfast was gong to be like, as they don’t currently have a restaurant, and had a grab and go. It turned out to be fine. Fresh fruit, a very wide assortment of bakery products, which were tasty, and yogurt, (and typical Kimpton coffee bar). Every staff member we met was very nice. A nice welcome amenity. Room was nice, bed was very comfortable. Bathroom had both a tub and a shower, with very efficient use of counter space.” — rageisman, 5 stars
“I really enjoyed my stay at Kimpton George Hotel. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home. A special thank you to Ahmed and John for their outstanding service. Ahmed’s homemade lemonade was especially amazing—so refreshing and absolutely delicious! Their hospitality truly made my stay memorable. I would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to staying here again.” — JY4U, 5 stars

What guests are saying about Kimpton The George.
"Really nice hotel. Booked a 4 night stay in Jan 2026. The front desk clerks were very hospitable and offered several suggestions to make my stay more enjoyable. Thank you Marcel and Soloman. Nice, clean hotel. Housekeeping was excellent. I had a few issues with the shower head not staying up and the drain was slow draining. I let staff know and Eric came and fixed it right away. They do offer valet parking, and there is also a self parking deck across the street. Rooms are comfortable, great water pressure, etc. I will return soon."

The bathroom was large and had both a stand up shower and a separate bathtub. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. The hotel wifi was free and worked well. I especially appreciated the friendliness of the staff. They were pleasant and helpful. They have a happy hour every day where you can have a free glass of wine (and/or whiskey on Wednesdays). They have a 24 hour fitness room with some weights and cardio equipment. The location is very convenient if you have meetings on or near Capitol Hill. I would stay there again."
