Hip boutique hotel with rooftop pool and bar in downtown D.C.
The Donovan House is a hip, modern hotel with edgy decor that appeals to leisure and business travelers. The hotel is located in downtown D.C., not far from the White House. The Donovan House lures locals as well as visitors to its rooftop pool for drinks and snacks after sunset (by day the pool is open to hotel guests only). The inventive Asian cuisine at Zentan persuades guests to stay in and eat at the hotel. The restaurant also makes food for the rooftop pool bar, ADC (Above D.C.).

Sightseeing in a Hurry
Great Overnight in DC
The hotel staff was amazing! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and decorated well. Free wifi. Free wine and appetizer hour. Discounted bike share usage. The ONLY complaint was that the bathroom needed a fan. Also, it was about 5 blocks from the Metro. Overall we LOVED it. We would definitely stay here again.

Super pa
Washington DC is for lovers
The hotel is modern as tomorrow. Our room was spotlessly clean. We had great fun with the animal print terrycloth robes furnished. The staff was polite, helpful, and competent. The location on 14th street puts you in the middle of what is happening.

Weird showers
I only stayed in this hotel for one night. looked pretty cute. I had a wierd view of an old couple in another building getting some IV infusions? The staff was great. I couldn't find a fridge in my room though. Also...the shower was REALLY weird. there was no curtain! it kind of just curved. It was white and lit you...im pretty sure you could see the shadow of whatever was going on in the shower from the bed in the room...kinda seemed like it was meant for a couple? I was there with a friend so it was kinda weird :/ but the water for the shower came directly from the ceiling so that was cool. Also the bathrobes were SOOOO cute! like animal print! The staff held my belongings for the day after I checked out until I was able to stay at a friends house the following night so that was pretty cool of them. They have some weird mod swinging chairs in the lobby as well. I heard they had a happy hour with complimentary wine...but sadly we missed it. It a pretty cute hotel. I would definitely recommend! uhh except for the weird showers...if you are sharing with someone not romantic

Nice Hotel
I booked this hotel hurriedly due to a family emergency. It exceeded my ecpectations. My seven year old daughter joined me on the trip. You could tell that children are not the typical guests, but she was treated very kindly by all of the hotel staff. She enjoyed the goldfish in the room!
