Circa 1902. Embassy Circle Guest House is now an elegant urban bed and breakfast after a three and a half-year painstaking renovation and restoration. It is located along Embassy Row where the popular neighborhoods of Dupont Circle, Sheridan/Kalorama, Georgetown and Downtown Washington, DC intersect. Original paintings, Persian carpets and antiques adorn the conversation-friendly public rooms. Spacious guest bedrooms are pleasant retreats. Enjoy a generous continental-plus breakfast with pastries, bagels, cereals, cheese, yogurt and the signature fresh fruit salad. A guest laptop computer is available.

This has been one of my most pleasant stays to date! I was greeted warmly and treated like family from the moment I walked in the door. As I was walking in, I was kindly fixed a plate of delightful fresh fruit, honey yogurt and exoctic cheeses. The room was spacious and immaculate, with very confortable linens and beautiful rugs. The whole place felt like home. Staying at the Embassy Circle Guest House is like stepping into and ever-shifting micro-community, a home away from home situated in a beautiful, convenient part of DC. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer.
