In easy walking range of Union Station on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., the Hotel George is the perfect stop for individuals or small groups who are working in the area or wish to be close to many of D.C.’s finest destinations, including the National Mall and Chinatown.
As a boutique hotel, the George focuses on creating a unique experience for their guests. In this case, the “George” is our first President and his visage permeates the venue. Modern paintings of him, Martha and other things Washingtonian provide a consistent theme to the establishment. The charming ambience is coupled with the high level of hospitality that goes with a Kimpton property. Kimpton focuses on boutique venues, of which there are eight in DC alone. The Kimpton culture emphasizes the personal touch for their customers and a high quality environment for their employees. The company regularly appears on Fortune magazine’s list of best places to work.
While the hotel is close to many fine restaurants, the George has its own high quality establishment – the Bistro Bis. It is an award winning restaurant with a focus on French bistro cuisine. Being close to Capitol Hill, you may even find an occasional Senator or other celebrity dining. The seafood is outstanding, as I delighted in a bowl of lobster bisque. It is also a great place for a late night dessert as the photo shows.
When all is said and done, there are many outstanding qualities about the Hotel George. However, nothing can beat the George’s amazing location and the perfect opportunity to walk to the many great sites on Capitol Hill, Chinatown and surrounding areas.
