Historic Mansion Accommodations

Swann House occupies a circa 1883 mansion in Dupont Circle. Rooms feature crystal chandeliers, carved fireplaces, and original plaster moldings. All include dedicated work desks, smart TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, air purifiers, and mini refrigerators. Bathrooms offer claw-foot tubs or marble walk-in showers with dual rainfall showerheads.

Complimentary Breakfast Service

A continental breakfast with baked goods, fresh fruit, and local coffee is served daily from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM in the dining room. Guests may also eat on the front porch or in the solarium.

Seasonal Pool & Courtyard

The property includes a private courtyard with a sundeck and seasonal swimming pool. Guests can use chaise lounges or take a dip after exploring the city.

Dupont Circle Location

The hotel is on a quiet, tree-lined street 12 blocks from the White House. It is a 7-minute walk to Logan Circle and close to Kramer Books & Afterwords Café. The Smithsonian museums, National Zoo, and universities including Georgetown and George Washington are nearby.

Guest Services & Facilities

Swann House provides a shared lounge, business center, and hairdresser's. The front desk can assist with local recommendations. The property does not allow group events or pre-wedding parties.

“The mansion, carefully preserved, provides a unique urban retreat with its seasonal outdoor pool and sun terrace, while its location in Dupont Circle offers access to historic neighborhoods; inside, a diverse range of unique room designs and experiences awaits. While not without some upkeep concerns, the property's charm and attentive staff create a cozy atmosphere. This is a good spot for those seeking a central Washington retreat.”
