Kimpton George Hotel

George Washington himself was the inspiration for Kimpton George Hotel; his presence can be glimpsed through navy and yellow colour combinations, snapshots of the constitution above the beds, as well as pop-art portraits by Steve Kaufman. These are complemented with chic, contemporary flourishes, such as chrome tables, leather chairs and designer lamps in the lobby, a theme which carries through to the guestrooms. If keeping fit is high on the agenda for you, make the most of The George’s 24-hour gym – with separate steam rooms for men and women, enjoy a private yoga session using the mat provided in your room, or borrow bikes from reception to get your blood pumping and explore Washington at the same time. Be sure to get back in time for Wine Hour though, and pair your favourite with a divine French meal at the hotel’s bistro, a delicious end to the day.
