FROG FAMILY REVIEW
Kimpton Hotel Monaco Washington DC*

What we love

  • Located in coveted Penn Quarter, directly across from the National Portrait Gallery and four blocks from the National Mall.
  • Guests are walking the same halls as our founding fathers from centuries ago and tadpoles will love the five-foot-wide architectural medallion of a lion's head in every guest room which pays tribute to the magnificent friezes and motifs adorning many of DC's government buildings.
  • Carefully curated bath amenities, luxe robes, and lush linens.
  • The state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, featuring Precor, has everything you need to get in a good workout.
  • A 2016 renovation added thoughtful design touches and furnishings including a classical European palette, Greek trim details, and elements pulling inspiration from the Corinthian column, nearby Union Station, and elegant powder rooms of the past.
  • History buffs will be happy to know the exterior of the building was fully restored to its original glory, all original room and corridor configurations were retained inside, and the renovation kept the original marble and cast iron circular stairways, ornamental plaster and cast iron ceilings, cast iron and stone door and window trim, original window frames and sashes, and marble floors.
  • Pets are recognized as part of the family at Kimpton and a water bowl will be delivered to your room along with courtesy doggie bags for walks.

Keep in Mind

  • Pet-friendly – no fees or size restrictions! If they fit in the elevator, they can come!
  • There is a limited number of connecting rooms available; be sure to include that in your special request if booking multiple rooms.
  • There is no pool at this property, but frogs can get their water time at the nearby Key Bridge Boathouse or The Yards Park (both roughly 15 minutes away).

Notable Facts

  • The current hotel building was erected to house the General Post Office and was constructed in two sections over a 27-year period.
  • Robert Mills, who went on to design the Washington Monument, designed the original section (there’s a commemorative bronze plaque along the 7th Street side of the building near F Street).
  • The building has served as the General Post Office, a munitions depot in the Civil War, the General Land Office, the Bureau of Education, one of the government's first central power, heating, and lighting plants, headquarters for the National Selective Service Board, and the Tariff Commission (which became known as the United States International Trade Commission Building).
  • It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1971.
  • The building was left vacated and abandoned in 1997 until it reopened as the Kimpton Hotel Monaco DC in June 2002.
  • The Paris Ballroom is the former library created for the Postmaster General and the Athens Room was once the official “Hearing Room” for the International Trade Commission.

Frog Family Tips

  • Start your mornings right with complimentary coffee or tea after utilizing the provided in-room yoga mat to find your center.
  • Hop down to the front desk to rent complimentary custom-designed Kimpton PUBLIC bikes to cruise the city in style.
  • Unwind from a busy day of sightseeing at the daily evening wine social.
  • If your frog family pet couldn’t make the trip or you’d like some additional company, the Kimpton Hotel Monaco front desk staff can lend one of their goldfish to you during your stay.

Best For

  • Travelers looking to really experience history in an unparalleled way in the heart of Penn Quarter with luxury amenities, pet-friendly accommodations, centuries-old architectural touches, and modern dining in a vibrant urban courtyard.

Kimpton Hotel Monaco Washington DC Information

At Kimpton Hotel Monaco Washington DC, life gets painted with a vibrant brush and a colorful palette. Nothing is ordinary in this grand downtown building, built in 1839 as the city's original General Post Office. It has since been beautifully modernized (with a very recent refresh) to flawlessly meld the old and the new. Guests delight in period architectural details, soaring ceilings, tall windows, and long, wide hallways that create an aura of drama and grandeur. At the same time, from the moment you enter the welcoming living room, you'll find that the style is eclectic, bold, and playful, and the service is highly personable.

This boutique hotel can be found four blocks from the National Mall and its lineup of Smithsonian museums. Directly across from the hotel, guests can visit the National Portrait Gallery, where dozens of galleries display stunning portraits that tell “the diverse story of America through leaders, rebels, artists, entrepreneurs, and other prominent personalities who shaped our culture.” 7th street is lined with food trucks for a quick bite and the Penn Quarter Farmer’s Market sets up shop in front of the Portrait Gallery Thursday from 3:00 to 7:00 pm (through November 16). Public transit is easy to access with the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro station (red, blue, and green lines) less than one block away and the Metro Center Metro station (orange and blue lines) just five blocks down.

Guests know they’re in the midst of greatness the second they enter our historic property and ogle the omnipresent lion heads, soaring ceilings, grand marble staircases, and bold, playful style. The recently revamped rooms and suites (184 total) boast a welcoming vibe that merges refined with contemporary. Luxurious Frette linens, luxury Atelier Bloem bath amenities, and an organic honor bar will help guests feel right at home. Pets of all shapes and sizes are welcome and additional doggie amenities are provided to help them feel at home as well.

Frequent guests at the Kimpton are accustomed to signature amenities like morning coffee service, an evening social, and “Forgot it? We’ve got it!” travel essentials. At the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Washington DC, there’s also in-room spa services, a 24-hour fitness center and business center, and a sundries store for snacks. Dirty Habit, the centerpiece of the hotel, focuses on unique and exciting menu offerings in an elevated and stylish yet casual environment with an event-worthy courtyard in the heart of Penn Quarter. The elevated and modern design of this luxe venue breathes new life into a historic venue. Business travelers will also love the expansive event and meeting room options with notable history trivia and reminiscent design touches.

Whether in Washington, D.C. for business or pleasure, guests will appreciate thoughtful and whimsical touches that make their stay luxurious and fun, along with a coveted address in bustling Penn Quarter.
