Kimpton Donovan Hotel

The Kimpton Donovan Hotel is a boutique DC hotel located near the 14th Street corridor, K Street, White House, and Convention Center. Enjoy unrivaled service and amenities, including free WiFi and wine hour.

At night, when all are welcome to sip cocktails next to, but not inside, the pool (from 6pm to midnight).

The pool is on the rooftop--the 14th floor--but you'll need to swipe a hotel key in the elevator to get there.

The Thomas Circle location is sure to invite misbehavior, as well—it sits...
