Rouge, a Kimpton Hotel, Washington

It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at Sweethoteldeals. Net They usually have some pretty good deals on there!

On the positive side, location and price were strengths. Weaknesses included very limited fitness center (the term should consider very loose), few television channels, and we couldn't get the room cool. I would rate cleanliness and service as average.

I had a three night stay on the end of a 12 day european business trip and loved the service, comfort of the room and just the overall attention that I received. The front desk staff and bellman were fantastic in helping me with cabs/airport transportation, directions, dining tips and just ways to make my time go smoothly. The beds are great and I know that with Kimpton I can get a comfortable, stylish and well turned out room for a price at a fair price. Comfortable, stylish and user-friendly, its a great home away from home when you need it.

Beautiful rooms in this hotel. You wont miss out on anything if you get a standard room. The hotel has a bar that is opened only at night. At 5pm every night, every guest recieve free champange, red strip beer, etc. This hotel is about five manhattan blogs away from dupont (spelling may be incorrect) circle, which is located near by a shopping and restaurant area. This hotel is said to be a few blocks away from the metro (I however didn't see it nor took it anywhere). Must see all the famous DC buildings. If you like the outdoors their zoo is huge and fun. Best time to go is spring time. Walking in the summer heat wasn't very fun for me.

We stayed at the Rouge while in DC on a buisness trip, what an awsome experience. The decor was fasinating, from the leopard patten hall rugs, to the very chic art decor on the walls, along with the superb staff and excellent location of the hotel it was truly a great trip and experience and I would highly recommend the Hotel Rouge to anyone who truly appreciates good service and a bohemian boutique decor. I expecially enjoyed the after work promegrante martinis they were simply delicious.

It must be indicative of all Kimpton Hotels, but after receiving terrible service at Hotel Madeira recently, we tried to give Hotel Rouge a shot...big mistake! As at Madeira, we had reserved a King Specialty room, non-smoking, as far away from the elevator as possible (I'm a very light sleeper). As at Madeira, we checked in soon after the first available time (3PM) to try and ensure we got what we reserved. Well, the ONLY room apparently available this weekend (with a reservation mind you) was a king room (not the specialty room requested that had electronic equipment needed for a romantic Valentine's weekend for two) that wrapped around the elevator shaft...spent most of the evening looking at the ceiling and listening to everyone's late night conversations...I'm not sure why this hotel (chain) has such a hard time guaranteeing and delivering reserved rooms, but they do...and none of the desk attendants seemed to care one way or another whether you are happy with service or not...one bright spot - Tedy the bellhop/valet (he's the only one working at any given time apparently so don't expect lighting fast response times for valet service) is extremely friendly and works very hard to make sure you're well-taken care of.

It was to nice I didnt want to go home,the suite was beauitfull and the staff was nice and accomidated us like we were the only people there.

everything was fabolous especially the design,clean environment, colors and theme. The rooms were very comfortable and the whole experience was fascinating. You need to have this experience

The Hotel Rouge is a boutique hotel, which means that it's a smaller hotel (and not pertaining to a chain of hotels) that lies within the trendy/artsy spectrum of hotels in the Washington, D.C. area, (of which, granted there are few--but, hey, this isn't New York!) Although D.C. is definitely noted for its more traditional and stately hotels peopled by Presidents and Senators alike (e.g., the Four Seasons, the Omni Shoreham, etc.), the Hotel Rouge provides a breath of fresh air for those in the socio-political environment of our Nation's Capital who seek the less conventional and less conservative. The rooms boldly combine animal prints with bright fuschia, chinese blue with bold black and white stripes, and furniture that is both unique and carefully chosen for an overall impression of audacious trendiness. Notably, for those travelers seeking novelty, from one stay to the next you will never find yourself in the same room twice, (as compared with the cookie-cutter bedspreads, artwork, and accoutrements of �name-brand� hotel rooms). Although to the more refined travelers, this level of contemporary style might represent somewhat of an eyesore (the cartoonishly high-backed thrones that stand menacingly in the lobby, for example, might prove to some to be a little too reminiscent of "Beetlejuice"), but for a youthful, fun-loving crowd this is the hotel of choice, replete with a cozy, hip bar that serves great specialty martinis and other fruity libations, (as well as spicy quesadillas, calamari, and other tasty trinkets worthy of ample sampling). If you're looking for a different kind of weekend getaway, or just a cool bar to get out to for the night, Hotel Rouge or the Rouge Bar would prove a dramatic and remarkable choice, with one caveat: This boutique hotel is not for the faint of heart.

Located in the stylish West End district of the nation's capital, just minutes from Embassy Row, Georgetown and the White House, The Hotel Rouge Washington D.C. combines elegant accommodations with state-of-the-art conveniences. An attentive multilingual staff caters to international guests, and each room is luxuriously appointed with an oversize desk, three telephone lines with voice mail, and an exquisite marble bathroom with soaking tub. Guests will also enjoy Hotel Rouge's continental cuisine - and a view of the European-style courtyard - at the Caf' on M, or the new M Street Grill.
