Historic Dupont Circle Mansion

Located in the historic Dupont Circle neighborhood, Swann House is near The White House, Smithsonian Museums, the National Zoo, the Washington DC Convention Center, and universities, including Georgetown, American, George Washington, and Howard.

Rooms

This 1883 mansion provides rooms with work desks, TVs, Wi-Fi, air purifiers, mini fridges, and bedding. Each room provides a different experience with sunlit turret rooms, private terraces, cathedral ceilings, gothic windows, and bathrooms with claw-foot tubs and walk-in showers. The air-conditioned suite features two bedrooms, a bathroom with a bath and shower, parquet floors, seating area with a flat-screen TV, dining area, wardrobe, and city views. Some rooms include a seating area. There is also an art collection, including pieces created by the staff, for sale.

Breakfast and Amenities

A complimentary Continental Breakfast, which consists of baked goods, fresh fruit, and local coffee, is served daily in the dining room from 8:30am to 10:00am. Guests can sit in the dining room, on the front porch, or in the solarium while having breakfast. The grounds include a private courtyard oasis, a sundeck, and a seasonal pool.

Location and Activities

Nestled in Washington, D.C., Swann House is near the White House, the Lincoln & Washington Monuments, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the Smithsonian Institution, comprising 19 museums and galleries. Kramer books & All day Café is nearby. For shopping, Georgetown has boutiques, vintage stores, and local shops. Eastern Market, located in Capitol Hill, features local artisans selling handmade arts, crafts, and antiques on weekends. Dupont Circle & Logan Circle are known for food and bars. Georgetown and Adams Morgan offer bars and clubs. The White House is 12 blocks away, and Logan Circle is a 7-minute walk.

Hotel Services

Guests can relax in the shared lounge or on the outdoor terrace. The property provides a business center and hairdresser's. The hotel is available for group events, including pre-wedding stag/bachelor and hen/bachelorette parties. Guests can refresh with a beverage on the deck or take a dip in the pool.

“In my opinion, this carefully preserved 19th-century mansion in Dupont Circle provides both a historical backdrop and walkable access to Washington's attractions. The seasonal outdoor pool is a distinctive urban amenity, while inside, each room presents a unique design. I think the fact that the staff creates the art collection adds a personal touch, with pieces available for purchase.”
