UNIQUE

Advertised as a "yoga" hotel, this is my favorite hotel to stay at in DC. Why? The room looks really cool -- lots of different colors and patterns -- stars, stripes, a sun-shaped mirror -- that work well together. Big comfy bed and lots of pillows and a big upholstered headboard. A scroll on my pillow revealed the week's astrological forecast. In the big armoir at the foot of the bed, not only was there a television, but a CD player and a big plug-in teapot with a selection of teas. The phone was cordless, so I could roam around as I talked. The room was large, with a cool little dressing area outside the bathroom. They offered the option of rooms that can have workout equipment in the room (treadmill, etc.) and a yoga mat. In the morning, there was a choice of fruit smoothies for breakfast (which I tried, but ate a bigger, more traditional breakfast next door). I would definitely stay at Topaz again.
