Although my guest room at Helix was a tad dark and on the tired side, the public spaces are nice and the service is incomparable. Had an incident with my luggage getting broken while in storage, and mangagement could not have been more accommodating. Truly good service and concern for guest well being. The location is sub-ideal, being mostly a... More

I like the decor and the vibe of this hotel a lot. You have to be a certain kind of person to love a room that has pictures of Barbie dolls on the walls and a bright lime green dresser, but I am that kind of person. The lounge area is comfortable with free, very good coffee in the mornings,... More

Totally happy with my stay here. Cool, kitchy decor (yes other reviewer, it's meant to be!) and the place has a pulse. Walking distance to most of the parts of DC that I wanted to be near. My dog loved it too. :) More

Hotel Helix is a quirky, fun, warm place to "come home to" at the end of a long day. Staff are personable and genuine in their interactions, making time to say hello and even recognize you by day two. Of course a complimentary glass of wine and up tempo music also make "coming home to Helix" something to look forward... More

My husband and I have found the Klimpton Hotels, in general, a great place to stay. There's a contemporary feel to each of them and they all feel quite "hip" if not also a bit contrived. The Helix is the one (of the 3 we've tried in Dupont Circle) which we like the best. The rooms are large and well... More

not really.. but it's a great little place in a cool neighborhood. I am a big fan of Kimpton so I am pre-disposed to like their properties. Helix exemplifies the best things about Kimpton, GREAT staff, cool and unique rooms, and great locations. My only critique of Helix is their public bar/dining area and menu. A small gripe, but it...

This was my second stay at the Helix in DC and it confirmed my initial impression - great location, great service and fun atmosphere.  From the check-in desk to the bar staff (Walter and Ayana - so great) to the guys at the door this is one of the friendliest hotels I've stayed in.  More

I simply love Kimpton hotels. I stay in a lot of them, but honestly, there's something magical about the Helix. Whether it's the amazing patio, or the kitchy room appointments, I don't know-- but I just love this place. That staff is amazing and attentive. The rooms are cozy, and well-appointed. The location is perfectly located for easy jaunts to... More

I had heard quite a lot about this hotel and the Helix Lounge a number of years ago, but this facility seems to be showing some age and could benefit from some updating. While I didn't think it necessarily lived up to the hype, I thought it was a very good hotel. My room was still very nice and comfortable... More
