A downtown dining hotspot adjacent to Hotel Palomar Washington DC Urbana strikes the perfect note. It is as much a destination restaurant as a neighborhood hangout. Linger over a glass of wine and delicious small plates at the bar or savor a full aromatic

A really good experience

Was impressed with all the small touches. The staff couldn't have been nicer. They really made our baby feel very special. Pool is lovely, wine hour is great, teas/coffee in the morn, staff are excellent. A very well run hotel that I would definitely recommend and go back to.

Best hotel I have stayed in!

I can't say enough about Hotel Palomar! Every I was dotted and t crossed. I was always addressed on the phone and in person by my name which you don't find very often. I had spilled something sticky in the bathroom and asked to have the bathroom mopped the next day with the maid service. 45 seconds after hanging up the phone with the desk, there was hotel employee at my door with mop and materials. Every request was answered with yes ma'am, right away. This hotel pays the upmost respect and attention to their guests. My favorite attribute of the hotel is the happy hour they provide for free to allow guests to mingle and relax with wine and snacks. My second favorite attribute was the gym. All the equipment you need with plenty of room and machines with tvs and headphone if needed. Not a detail missed! Will return for sure! I also wanted to add that the benefit is the hotel is pet friendly. For those who aren't as excited about staying in a hotel with animals, you would never know. The rooms, lobby, and facilities are immaculate and you could never tell animals stay as well.

Wonderful Hotel

My family and I spent Christmas in D.C. we had a wonderful time and the hotel was amazing. For an upscale hotel it was very family friendly. The staff were an absolutely lovely and helpful, they couldn't do enough to make our stay even better. We did a package deal so I really do not know what we paid for the hotel specifically. Very clean and modern. room was spacious. we will definitely return!

Weekend getaway with wife

Hotel was as advertised. Hotel guests were from all over the world, interesting mix. Room was comfortable but a bit small. Food was excellent. Hotel staff including the parking attendants were terrific but daily parking fee was a tad expensive. Only problem was with TV, on three occasions had to call for a tech person to come to the room to start the cable service - very strange.

Great Location

We got a discount deal which made this nice hotel in a great location a perfect spot for our weekend in DC. The room was clean and nice, and the whole atmosphere of the hotel was inviting. We had just missed the free wine happy hour but the staff at the front desk gave us free wine coupons for the adjoining restaurant which had a really fun vibe during happy hour. But really this hotel is about Location, Location, Location. I love the dupont circle area and it is easy to walk from there to Georgetown, downtown, 14th Street or jump on the Metro to any other sites.

Great location, fun time!

I really liked this hotel. The staff was so nice even with our incredibly early arrival. They had a room ready and even upgraded up to a nicer room. The rooms were huge and so comfortable. The wine happy was great. It was so nice to be treated to a complimentary glass (or 2) of wine to wind down from the day's activities and prepare for the night time. My only complaints about the hotel had very thin walls and I could hear everything going on in the hallway. From my shower I could hear the entire conversation of the room next door. Overall, the hotel was great and I would definitely stay there again! Sign up for the loyalty program and enjoy free wifi and a mini bar coupon!

Great location, good rooms

Spacious, clean, and a great location. The staff was amazingly helpful--a really nice place to come back to after a long day. My only complaint is that the room was poorly lit.
