Swann House

This is a well-located little b&b, and the prices are reasonable for Dupont area. I stayed in the small room and found the bed quite miserable -- it's foldable, with a large fixed overhang across the top, which means to lean against the bed, you are obliged to hunch over and keep your head low. This is not an acceptable bed for guests, whatever its utility is for the property. Breakfast was very average: supermarket toast, an odd baked cherry pastry, and cold boiled eggs from a previous day. The key plug near the desk did not work. Lots of nice atmospherics -- scented entryway, etc, -- but people traveling for work just need the basics to be quality and functional.

We had a wonderful stay at the Swann House. The staff was excellent, the rooms were charming, and the company at the breakfast table was always enjoyable. For many years we have stayed at B&Bs when we visit DC for work and sightseeing (at least twice a year) and the Swann House is one of the best we've found.

Swann House has been converted from a mansion house into a hotel in a very eclectic style. It is located in a smart district of DC and is about a 10 minute walk from Du Pont Circle Metro station. The rooms are very well fitted out and some are quite large. There is a small swimming pool which is very welcome if the weather is sweltering.

This is a beautiful and unique place to stay. The decor was really fun! The staff was wonderful and friendly. We stayed in Room 6, which is on the third floor and the bathroom is in the turret. The room was very clean and well decorated. The king size bed was perfectly comfortable. The only issue was the bathroom. It's absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't wait to try the claw-foot tub/shower. Two issues: one, it's very difficult to get in and out of the tub. There is nothing to grab onto and the tub is quite high off the floor. Two, there's no door, just a curtain. That was a bit strange. Breakfast was self-serve continental and it was very nice. It was nothing really special but it was fine. I had no issue with this as I'm not a "breakfast person". There are lots of common spaces to sit and have a conversation or read a book, both indoor and out. The pool is very small, but it was a pretty set up. I would never have even expected a pool. One thing to note, lots of stairs. There are very steep stairs just to get to the inn and once inside, more stairs to get to your room. We had no problem with this, but it's something to be aware of if you have any mobility issues. We look forward to returning!

We had a wonderful night at the Swann House! Everything was perfect! Rico was so accommodating and kind. We loved our room and balcony! Highly recommend a stay at this impressive hotel. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and we enjoyed staying here!

I found SH thru a random search and it was the best! Amazing accommodations, comfy beds, incredible staff, and lovely breakfast. The 24/7 coffee bar was an unexpected perk. If you are on the fence, go ahead and book. You won’t be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
