On a first name basis with Washington, Hotel George is the definition of modern sophistication in a contemporary setting. Since opening in 1997, The George, as it is affectionately known, is the city’s premier location to catch a glimpse of Washington insiders and political power brokers. Today it remains as the standard of excellence for contemporary design and top-drawer service. Its location just steps from Union Station/Metro, the U.S. Capitol, the National Gallery and Smithsonian Institution, makes the hotel the most strategic spot for business travelers and sightseers.
Hotel George pioneered the modern hotel experience in Washington. Providing guests with a setting that suits their style of living and genius to anticipate every need, the George achieves a perfect balance between old-world service and a sophisticated environment. George features the latest amenities including a 24-hour fitness center and steam rooms, two-line phones with high-speed internet capability and a 24-hour concierge service. The hotel restaurant, Bis, is a favorite among locals winning countless accolades for its clever interpretation of classic French bistro fare. Bis is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and also provides room service and catering to the hotel.
Rooms are decorated in a sleek understated simplicity with generously sized marble baths and luxurious bedding. Custom artwork by artist Steve Kaufman depicting many faces of George Washington are displayed in guest rooms and public areas including the Back Room, the hotel’s executive boardroom and the Billiard Room overlooking E Street. In 2003, the property was sold for a significant profit.
