If you like Kimpton Hotels and want to stay as close to Washington D.C.’s National Mall as possible, Hotel George is a slam-dunk. If you’ve never been to a Kimpton Hotel, you’re in for a real treat and a prime location in the nation’s capitol.

The hotel provides complimentary wine hours, kids programming and a pet-friendly policy — all at no additional charge. Plus, Hotel George offers some extra perks, like a toy chest full of new toys (still wrapped) for kids to enjoy during wine hours, as well as in-room treats like gummy bears.

Hotel George appears chic and somewhat fancy, and upon arrival, it might remind you of something you’d see in Europe. When you get to your room and find red, white and blue throughout, you’ll be reminded of where you are.

Accommodations are furnished in hues of red, white and blue -- a fun, patriotic touch in the nation's capitol -- and signature amenities include bathrobes (adult and child sizes), yoga kits, 48-inch TVs and bath amenities by Gilchrest and Soames. Beds are outfitted in 300-thread count Egyptian cotton Frette linens, which are ever so pleasant after a busy day. Oftentimes, hotel staff will also leave gummy bears and other treats for kids in the rooms.

Cribs are complimentary upon request, and rollaway beds are available for an additional fee per night. Both are allowed in some rooms, though restrictions apply in others (due to potential fire hazards). Connecting rooms are also available; request in plenty of advance.

All About the Extras

Business Center
The hotel's business center is also open 24 hours and is accessible with a room key.

Check-In/Check-Out

The Art of Smart Timing
Like all hotels in Washington D.C., the highest occupancy time is summer. Spring is almost as popular, especially during the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Consider a fall or winter visit to get a deal and beat the crowds.

Getting There
Fly into Washington Dulles International Airport or Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, or take Amtrak to Union Station, just a few minutes from the hotel.

Getting Around
The only parking available is valet, and it costs $45, plus tax, per night. If you have a hybrid vehicle, you'll pay $35 per night instead. The nightly fee covers in-and-out privileges, but leave your car at the hotel and get out and walk. The National Mall is just a short walk from the hotel.

For Mom and Dad
Head to Bistro Bis for dinner, or elect to enjoy in-room spa services if someone is able to watch the kids for an hour or two. If interested in leaving the hotel all together, check out Rasika (Indian) or Johnny's Half Shell (seafood).
