Location - The Donovan House hotel is located in the middle of Thomas Circle in historic downtown Washington, D.C.
Hotel Features - With over 192 rooms, 14 floors, and resort-style appeal, the Donovan House feels like a grownup playground. The hotel offers a rooftop pool and a rooftop lounge, which can be used by guests after regular hours. The best qualities this hotel has to offer are its hanging chairs and modernist feel in the lobby. Valet services and Wi-Fi are available for a fee.
Guest Rooms - Rooms at the Donovan House feature lustrous, modern decor and cocoon spiral showers. Other services offered include movies, air conditioning, and turndown service upon request. Cribs are available for young children upon request. Gratis newspapers are provided each morning.
Dining - Zentan, the Donovan House’s on-site restaurant, is a pan-Asian dining experience which offers top meals with abundant flavored meats. The restaurant is best known for its sushi – brick roll or spicy lobster – other favorites include crispy garlic chicken, scrumptious chocolate cake, and the 16-ingredient Singapore Slaw.
Expert Tip – Not far from the Donovan House is the United States Holocaust Museum, which opened in 1993. The busiest months are April through July; securing tickets ahead of time is recommended.
