Hotel AKA Washington Circle

AKA Hotel Washington Circle was an absolute lifesaver during what turned into a very stressful and unexpected stay. Because an off-site public parking garage was not cleared even three days after a snowstorm, we were unable to retrieve our vehicle and were effectively stranded in DC despite all surrounding areas being cleared. Throughout all of this, the team at AKA went truly above and beyond. The front desk staff was nothing short of amazing — kind, patient, professional, and genuinely supportive every step of the way. They even lent us shovels so we could attempt to manually dig ourselves out of the garage, which speaks volumes about how willing they are to help their guests in any way possible. When it became clear we needed to extend our stay, they graciously accommodated two additio

Oh my GOSH - this hotel is everything. We come to DC often and have stayed at dozens of hotels, however AKA will be the first property we become regulars at. The service here is unmatched, they upgraded us AND left a note and champagne for my husband’s birthday, room service was excellent, the overall service was top tier and the accommodations were luxurious. The breakfast in-room was fabulous, and every person we interacted with was so incredibly kind and thoughtful. We booked via AMEX travel and will be coming back here when we travel here in the summer. Thank you to the management and amazing staff at AKA! Additionally - the gym was great, and had fantastic basics for a good workout.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with chocolates and champagne, which was a lovely touch. The front desk staff was extremely welcoming and kind from the moment we checked in. Our room was very spacious and honestly felt more like a mini apartment than a standard hotel room. Overall, the hotel was beautiful and very comfortable. The location is excellent. It’s very walkable, which made getting around easy and enjoyable. One small downside was the noise. At times, you could hear people talking in the hallway or doors slamming, which was noticeable while in the room. Another thing to note is that certain amenities, like a microwave, come with an additional fee, and those extra charges can add up. We were really hoping to try the restaurant, but since we stayed over New Year’s Eve, it closed e

Very easy to get to or direct drivers to the hotel. Wonderful service in the lobby. Employees opening doors, saying hello and great advice. Rooms are beautiful and view from the windows are gorgeous. Only notes are no kitchenette so no microwave, plates, cutlery and the showers are beautiful but the pressure isn’t there. Overall a wonderful hotel with great amenities like a bar, restaurant, gym and beautiful rooms.

A truly exceptional experience. The property was clean, quiet, and very well maintained. Every interaction with the staff was positive and professional. The room offered great comfort and attention to detail, making it easy to unwind. The entire stay felt effortless and enjoyable from beginning to end.
