Hotel Palomar (A Kimpton Hotel)

Over-rated and over-priced.

If you want a unique place to stay while in D.C., then Palomar will put you to rest--it did me. I found this boutique hotel after walking around P Street NW, which has many restaurants. I had lunch in the hotel restaurant, Urbana, which was blah; however, I went back a few days later for "Happy Hour" in the Urbana bar--bartender Joe was THE Best mixologist I found in the entire city. Not only did he make us great drinks, but he also gave a lesson/sampling of various liquors. I did go on a night Joe wasn't there and the drink AND service wasn't quite the same. Long story short--just ask for Joe. Comfy, stylish rooms.
