This hotel had just the right amount of funk. In a good way. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the decor was cool, but not cheesy. My room was spacious, and the bathroom was large. Location was great for the metro and nightlife. I truly loved my stay and will be back. My only teensy complaint...I was there on... More

Dear Jules4068 Thank you for recommending the Rouge to your friends and colleagues and I am so pleased that were exactly what you wanted! I am sorry that we did not offer AMC on our channel lineup. We will look into that so that Mad Men fans don’t have to set their DVR’s while traveling! More

This past weekend I was fortunate to try a DC hotel that I’ve never been to before. My boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised! The Rouge was overall fantastic and exceeded my expectations. First off – the room. The room was huge. I had booked a simple king room and was given one in the corner of the 8th floor.... More

first time to Washington so this was a great location for a hotel. Clean and functional although the deco was a little strange (black and red leather interior). Staff friendly. Complimentary fruit and take-away coffee was appreciated.

I arrived into DC around 9:39 AM and caught a cab from the airport, called the front desk to see if an early check in was available and checked in shortly thereafter. I was given an excellent room(on the pet free floor due to allergies)and was able to settle in for a perfect weekend! The location of the hotel is... More

Its a trendy and well-located hotel; rooms are big and comfortable, bathroom rather small compared to the room. Breakfast is OK. Would prefer it again, as it is more "informal" and alternative in design compared to other business-like hotels in Washington DC.

This hotel overall was a little strange. My boyfriend and I went for our 3 year anniversary and upon entering the leather doors I found myself surrounded in red walls and animal print carpets. The hotel had a dark feel to it. Like Vampires would stay there. Although the room seemed fairly new, the fridge was broken. They were kind... More

Very cool and hip modern decorator style. The lobby smells great. Rooms are spacious and well furnished. The bathroom is nice but small especially when compared to the size of the room. Location is GREAT, right across the Australian Embassy. A Whole Foods, Starbucks, and CVS are two to three blocks away with an extremely charming walk through treelined streets... More
