We booked a weekend at the George, another Kimpton, and were sorely disappointed the manager, Clayton Smith, was the best. I told him we had sated in several Kimptons in DC and he said he would take care of it. In 5 minutes he had us rebooked in the Palomar, at which we have stayed several times and really like.... More

Just spent a most enjoyable visit once again at the Palomar in DC. We had an amazing two room suite with a fabulous bath complete with jetted soaking tub and huge walk in shower, marble floors and very spacious! We loved the openness and how we were able to spend extra time together while getting clean and grooming...:). Everything was... More

I was excited about the Palomar in DC, but we were ultimately disappointed in our stay. The room was large and pretty clean when we arrived, but a housekeeper came in a few minutes after we arrived because she had forgotten to put a liner on our shower. The front-desk service that we received throughout our 4 nights/5 days ranged... More

I attended a conference and Hotel Palomar was close enough -great hotel, the executive king room was very spacious and well appointed. We requested a microwave in the room for our stay and the staff was very helpful, the microwave arrived 10 minutes after our request. The only downside was the bed, the mattress was too firm for our taste,... More

We were attending a conference at the Marriott, Wardman Park. That hotel was overbooked. I chose the Palomar because of the great reviews I read on Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. It was an easy 10 minute cab ride to our conference, or you can opt for the metro. The executive king was very large and comfortable, spacious bathroom... More

The hotels front desk staff is specially nice and friendly. There are three lifts and they are little slow. We did not use the SPA so we can not rate it. The wine tasting which is free at five each day is fun and we talked to many nice hotel guest that gave us tips for our to do list.

We stayed at Palomar in October, 2011 and had an excellent experience. The room was very large and modern. Fun animal print robes! Room service was great for breakfast. Good location for sightseeing. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

We decided to stay at Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar after reading the continuously positive reviews in Trip Advisor and elsewhere. We occasionally ‘escape’ to the Washington DC area (from up the road in Maryland) to get away and enjoy the sites, but at the same time, avoid the DC tourist atmosphere. The weekend we chose happened to encompass European Union (EU)... More

This is the second time in a year that we have stayed at the Palomar. Each time, we find something new we like about this place. This time, it was the loaner bike that they had at the front desk -- I took it and went for a ride in Rock Creek -- all of the way to the Zoo,... More
