We stayed one night. Our bedroom was very small but well designed in general. Very quiet, a plus in DC. However, it had only one bedside table, with the only bedside lamp for reading. The alternative was a pair of very strong halogen lights shining on both occupants of the bed simultaneously. The white spiral shower looked sleek from the... more

I stayed at the Donovan House for a recent business trip. We stayed here and invited people to some meals and meetings. All was great. I love the minimalist modern decor. It is as if you took the movie 2001 and made it into a hotel. Very very cool. more

Based on the reviews on TripAdvisor, I had high expectations, but was sadly disappointed. The problem may have been that I booked through 1-800-Hotels, but who doesn't like to get the lowest rate? When I called to confirm on the day we were due to arrive, they claimed to not have my reservation. After assuring the hostile and argumentative desk... more

Let me start by saying that me and my wife have travelled around Europe and North America extensivlely and this is her Favourite Hotel. Firstly, its located up the road from McPherson SQ Metro, so it's very easy to get around from here. When you walk through the hotel doors you are greeted by friendly staff and some great sounding... more

The room was great. However, a caveat if you are a business traveler who requires normal speed of internet connection, then you need to look for outside internet connection. First of all, it's unacceptable that they charge $10 per day, or $40 per 7 days for wi-fi, for the rate they are charging. More importantly, the internet speed is equivalent... more

My husband and I were in Washington DC for 3 days back in April. I always do a lot of research before I chose a hotel, and from what I read here on TripAdvisor I thought this would be the hotel for us. The Donovan House is ultra modern, which I loved. We got a corner room and it was... more

I did not actually stay here but attended a friend's birthday bash. The night started with appetizers in the hotel's swanky lobby, then a private dinner for 30+ guests at the hotel's restaurant. The food was delicious, nicely presented, and the service was good. After dinner we headed to the rooftop pool and bar for a loungy get-together and drinks.... more

We stayed here for the weekend and loved the hotel. Fantastic design, especially the perspex shower bubble that sticks out into the room. The location was great as long as you are okay with walking and it was easy to the get to the main sights. We did request extra pillows from the main desk but had to chase them... more

I went looking for a modern boutique hotel with some atmosphere, and I wasn't disappointed. The Donovan House hotel is a fairly short cab ride from the Reagan airport and is walking distance to the mall and most of the D.C. attractions. When I arrived, I was greeted by friendly and helpful staff, and a very clean, retro / modern... more
