Guide Review - Hotel Monaco-Hotel Review

The Hotel Monaco is an extraordinary, 184-room hotel located in the Penn Quarter neighborhood in heart of downtown Washington, DC. Hotel Monaco is a Kimpton property and a recent restoration of a post office building that was originally built in 1839. The national historic landmark building takes up a whole city block. It faces the National Portrait Gallery is located near the Verizon Center, the Convention Center, Ford's Theater, the International Spy Museum and Chinatown. The National Mall and Capitol Hill are slightly further away but still within walking distance.

The decor is stylishly modern providing an interesting contrast to the exterior. The lobby is inviting with its bright colors and features several uniquely decorated spaces to lounge. Guest rooms are spacious, some with over 12 foot vaulted ceilings. In-room amenities include comfortable workspace, cordless phone, two line data ports and complimentary high-speed internet access.

The restaurant, Poste - Moderne Brasserie, is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner and features contemporary American cuisine. The dining room maintains the modern motif, with high ceilings and mirrored walls.
