Fairmont Washington, D.C., Georgetown

Fairmont Washington, D.C., Georgetown sits at 2401 M Street NW in the West End, on the boundary between Georgetown and Dupont Circle. M Street shopping and dining begins a few blocks west, while Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station is about a ten-minute walk to the east and Dupont Circle is a short walk north. The Kennedy Center and the Potomac waterfront are also within walking distance. The hotel is built around a landscaped courtyard garden, which gives the upscale property a calmer, more residential atmosphere than the larger downtown convention hotels. Room categories include Fairmont Rooms, Gold Floor Rooms with a separate lounge level and suites, with nightly rates generally between about $300 and $650 in US dollars. Amenities include an outdoor courtyard, a fitness center, a restaurant and bar, a concierge desk and valet parking, and the property is pet-friendly, which is relatively uncommon among Washington luxury hotels. The courtyard is a draw for guests in spring and summer, and the on-site restaurant and bar serve both visitors and local diners. The service style combines business-oriented amenities with leisure-friendly extras, making the hotel suitable for conference travelers, couples and visitors with pets. Because it sits slightly away from the main tourist corridors, it offers a quieter evening setting while still placing guests close to some of the city's best-known dining streets. The National Mall and White House are roughly two miles east, reachable by Metro or short rideshare trips. Visitors who prefer a neighborhood base with access to Georgetown boutiques, Rock Creek Park trails and the Dupont Circle restaurants often choose this location over a downtown address.
