The Banneker

Bridging the best of DC’s storied historic highlights and leafy residential neighborhoods, the Kimpton Banneker Hotel has one of the most enviable addresses in the District — on a tree-lined avenue with a view straight down 16th Street NW of the White House. A blend of cool minimalism and warm tones, the Banneker’s design offers all the personal comforts of home with a highly curated selection of abstract art. Find the heartbeat of the hotel in its dining venues: the ground-floor French bistro, Le Sel, serves local flavors in a timeless setting, while upstairs, rooftop bar Lady Bird’s disarming indoor/outdoor perch encourages spontaneous connections under the stars while offering unfettered views of the landmarks that make the city so iconic.
