Fodor's Expert Review Swann House

1808 New Hampshire Ave. NW, Washington, District of Columbia, 20009, USA Fodor's Choice

Whether you are eating breakfast in the formal dining room or unwinding with a glass of sherry in the parlor, everything is lovely at this elegant urban retreat. The Duomo Suite has a custom-made bed and spectacular bathroom complete with a claw-foot tub and rain shower. The Jennifer Green Room has a private patio. But even the more modestly priced rooms, like the circular Lighthouse Room in the mansion's turret, with its red walls and bay windows, are charming and inviting.
