The Dupont Circle Hotel

The Dupont Circle Hotel sits directly on Dupont Circle at New Hampshire Avenue NW, in the middle of the embassy-lined Dupont Circle neighborhood and a short walk from the Dupont Circle Metro station, Massachusetts Avenue's Embassy Row, and the restaurants of 17th Street. Owned by the Irish family-run Doyle Collection, the nine-story property was refurbished by designers Martin Brudnizki and Clodagh into a MICHELIN Key-recognized luxury hotel that blends period DC architecture with contemporary interiors. Rooms span Standard and Deluxe categories up to Corner Suites and the signature Dupont Suite, with an exclusive Penthouse Level of twelve individually designed suites, including a 3,000-square-foot Grand Penthouse Suite with five private heated terraces. Dining centers on The Pembroke, a MICHELIN-recommended restaurant for contemporary American cuisine, alongside the Doyle Bar's mid-century design and curated Irish whiskey list. A fitness center and rooftop bar add to the amenity mix, and the hotel is pet-friendly. Service leans toward a boutique luxury concierge model — attentive, neighborhood-savvy, and geared toward guests who want an embassy-row address with fine dining on-site rather than a large convention hotel. There is no full spa, but the fitness center and rooftop bar cover wellness and evening socializing, and the Doyle DISCOVERY loyalty program adds perks like room upgrades for repeat guests booking directly.
