The Helix is my home away from home when I'm in Washington. I've had the opportunity to stay there many times over the past five years and have always been comfortable and enjoyed my visit. The staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful, and make me feel like each visit is my first and needs to be made special. I... More

I like kimpton hotels so far this has been my fav in DC. Reception is very cool looking and staff are very helpful. Hotel is quiet and clean. Little bar area but nothing much seems to happen there. I really enjoyed our modern room, the bed had it's own little nook with nice lights that dim and a sheer that... More

We stayed at the Helix in early January for two days as part of a 6 week trip around the US. Firstly the service was quick and friendly - we arrived before check in time and it wasn't even mentioned. We then had a follow up call in the room to make sure we were happy with the room. The... More

I am generally a big fan of Kimpton Hotels. The Helix has some of the great features that characterize the chain, including: 1) very friendly service, 2) a non-standard, hip vibe, and 3) free wifi and minibar credit if you join the loyalty program. The Helix also has a good location in the Logan Circle neighborhood, and is reasonable walking... More

This is an outstanding property manned by an exceptional staff! This has been only my second stay at a Kimpton property but I will seek them out in the future. The hotel is lovely and upscale; funky and neat-looking. I had a lovely free happy hour with them. Everyone made you feel at home especiallyas they addressed you by name. More

I come to Helix every few months for work and it is by far the funnest and most unique hotel I've had to stay at. I always look forward to their happy hour after a long day at work. More

I stayed at this hotel for the weekend in january and it was great. I joined the kimpton intouch program. Our room wasn't ready when we first arrived but they quickly had a room available. I was celebrating my birthday which was noted on my reservation after casually talking to the reservation desk about why the rate was ok because... More

This is the old Ramada of Marion Barry fame spruced up. The positives: the rooms are large, the very comfortable king bed has a fun curtain around it that creates a cozy space, the reading lights on either side of the bed are very useable with an easily accessible on-off for all lights, the bathroom is down a small corridor...
