Hotel Monaco Modernizes a DC Landmark

Picture 31In a city known for its historic significance, how refreshing to find a boutique hotel that combines both old world charm with contemporary luxury, all in the bustling hub of Penn Quarter.  The Hotel Monaco, a AAA Four Diamond Kimpton Hotel, is housed in the original Post Office Building, marked by its grand marble exterior and central location in the heart of downtown.  Designed in 1839 by Robert Mills (known for his design of a little something called the Washington Monument), the building was remodeled into what is now The Hotel Monaco, complete with vibrantly chic décor and the well-known Poste-Modern Brasserie.

Settle into your home away from home, complete with 24 hour room service, in-room spa services, pet-friendly accommodations, and fitness center. The central location makes it just steps away from downtown’s Verizon Center, Washington Convention Center and central metro stations.  The Hotel Monaco also lays claim to an admirable “green” policy that is showcased throughout the hotel’s operations and eco-friendly programs.

Insider Tip: For a taste of Washington, take advantage of Hotel Monaco’s complimentary wine receptions.  Mingle with politicians and polished professionals as you sip a little vino at your chic new digs.
