By now one might make the assumption that I\u2019m only staying in Kimpton Hotels during my visits to Washington.\u00a0 Indeed I am staying at all eleven Kimpton Hotels during the course of the year and it just so happens I\u2019ve stayed at three Kimpton hotels consecutively.\u00a0 On my last visit to Washington I combined a bit of business and pleasure when I brought with me my parents, my future inlaws, my fianc\u00e9e and our Bichon, Riley to the Hotel Madera.\u00a0 This would be Riley\u2019s first trip beyond New Jersey and he was an incredible trooper.\u00a0 The Madera is one of a number of pet friendly hotels in Washington and this is immediately made obvious by the water bowl kept just inside the entrance.\u00a0 Needless to say, we all felt very welcome upon arrival.The brand\u2019s smallest endeavor in the city, the Madera has just 82 rooms.\u00a0 Think about that.\u00a0 Six of us, seven counting Riley, would occupy three rooms here, or almost 4% of the entire inventory of the hotel.\u00a0 There are few places where you can guarantee that kind of personalized service.\u00a0 Guest service agents take a moment to remember guests\u2019 names and use it during the stay.<\/p>\n
Rooms at the Madera are incredibly large as the building was originally erected as an apartment building.\u00a0 Standard rooms are anything but that.\u00a0 Though most of the former kitchens have been closed off, the rooms retain their spaciousness on both sides of the building.\u00a0 Front facing rooms have large balconies facing New Hampshire Avenue and guests can enjoy the charming and picturesque Dupont Circle neighborhood.\u00a0 Rooms rear facing don\u2019t have balconies but they enjoy a rather unobstructed view of the National Cathedral and of Georgetown.\u00a0 It\u2019s a true neighborhood feel.<\/p>\n
Adding to this neighborhood feel is Firefly, the attached restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.\u00a0 It\u2019s a comfort food restaurant, one of the area\u2019s first, and remains busy even ten years after opening.\u00a0 The signature piece of d\u00e9cor in the restaurant is the replica tree and the firefly jars in which the waitstaff deliver the checks.\u00a0 Remember, Madera means wood in Spanish and the wood themes are highly evident throughout.\u00a0 Evident but not obtrusive.<\/p>\n
The lobby was recently renovated to make the tiny entry way more spacious.\u00a0 It works better now for Kimpton’s traditional wine hour, which Madera does complete with appetizers as well.\u00a0 A room renovation is also on the horizon although the hotel has been kept up to date and has always been ultra chic and contemporary.\u00a0 Service is highly personalized at Madera and comfort is key.\u00a0 I know that Riley will always remember his first stay in a hotel and we will always appreciate the staff\u2019s help in ensuring everyone was most pleased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
