I Booked this hotel because I had read mostly good reviews. This was not worth my hard earned money. This weekend trip was planned for my fiance's birthday. I am so embarassed that I took him here. Let me start off by mentioning the parking. There is no where to pull up and drop your bags off. You have to... More

The Rogue is a great place to stay when you are in DC. The Dupont Circle area is a great area -- it is kind like the Berkeley of DC. The Rogue location is perfect -- within walking distance of Whole Foods, close to the metro, good bookstores, yoga studios close, and several coffee houses. The staff are always friendly... More

I loved loved loved this hotel. I went to Washington DC for the first time and went with friends. I had this beautiful room to myself (unfortunately my husband could not join me) but I was enjoying the room completely. It was huge and beautiful. The hotel was located 1.2 miles away from the White House, and maybe 2 miles... More

I stayed at the Hotel Rouge several years ago, and wrote a TA review criticizing the food. I recently stayed at this hotel again, and wanted to say that the food was definitely improved since my first visit. For breakfast, as a Kimpton member, there is a $1 upgrade to a decent continental breakfast. I ended up ordering room service,... More

Stayed at the Rouge for a conference and everything was fine: Nice big and clean room, great location, staff very helpful and friendly, good breakfast. The red modern style itself is a question of personal taste, not really mine, but that did not effect my stay in a negative way.

We spent three nights here and only wish it could have been longer. Our room was great, the hotel staff were wonderfully helpful and the location was ideal, with lots of interesting places to eat within walking distance. We'd be happy to stay here again.
