Kimpton Monaco Washington, DC
Posted on August 30, 2010 By Joseph
When you’re in Washington DC you expect to have close encounters with history, but it’s a special treat to make a National Landmark your home. Yet, staying in Washington’s first Post Office building (originally constructed in 1839) is only one of the pleasures available to guests of the Hotel Monaco Washington, DC, a Kimpton Hotel. A pleasant stroll away from the National Mall and other Washington attractions, this luxury boutique hotel has plenty to offer visitors whether they are in Washington on business or pleasure. During a recent trip to the nation’s capital to celebrate Julie’s son, Travis’ induction into the State Department, Joseph spoke with hotel General Manager Ed Virtue about the hotel and the city it serves.
