Lyle DC

Located in the heart of Washington’s bustling Dupont Circle district, Lyle DC is all about convenience. It’s an eight-minute walk to the nearest metro station, and if you’re visiting in good weather, the National Mall is a 2-mile walk away.

Housed in a typical 1940s art-deco building, the chic neutral-toned rooms feature stunning burl wood headboards and bespoke rattan furniture. Long-term guests can opt for upgraded rooms, which offer kitchenettes and enviable city views.

Although Dupont Circle is full of restaurants and bars, guests wanting to experience the neighborhood’s eclectic food scene don’t have to stray too far; Lyle’s, the on-site restaurant, offers new seasonal American fare available for breakfast, brunch, and dinner.
