Welcome

Welcome to Our Washington DC Bed and Breakfast – Rates $159 to $219

The building occupied by the American Guest House was built in 1898. It is one of only two roll houses in the Historic Kalorama Triangle District designed by famous architect Henry Ives Cobb that is laid out with original trim of a Venetian Gothic design and Byzantine columns outlined in the stairwell and entrance. In preserving our place of history, we do our best to keep the home’s natural wooden 19th century look.

American Guest House, a Washington DC Bed and Breakfast, ranked Excellent by TripAdvisor, is an European-style guest house. This is not someone’s private residence, it is a historical Inn located in a marvelous neighborhood with a mix of residential historical mansions, apartment buildings, hotels, restaurants, art galleries, and lots of Embassies. A convenient alternative to Washington DC hotels, we are located in the upscale northwest area of Washington DC, within an easy 10-minute walk to the DuPont Circle Metro (subway) station and 1-mile (25-minute walk) to the White House and the Zoo and about 2 miles to the U.S. Capitol and the Smithsonian Museums and Monuments.

Stay with us at this friendly and impeccably clean Washington DC B&B Inn where we offer lodging accommodation in the heart of DC and only steps to DuPont Circle and Adams Morgan, two of DC’s best and most active neighborhoods, offering great restaurants, bars and shops. This area is popular with local residents and tourists alike, with easy access to all tourist sights and attractions in our nation’s capital. We are located within a short walk to several of the best restaurants in Washington DC as well as Rock Creek Park, C&O Canal and Mount Vernon Bicycle and Hiking Trails, DuPont Circle’s Farmer Market, the Phillips Gallery, and the Textile Museum. We are also very convenient to several Embassies, the Mosque, Cathedral, Woodrow Wilson House, Jewish War Veterans of the USA, and much more.

Not all Inns are made equal but at this elegant DC B&B and Inn we offer non-smoking bed and breakfast lodging accommodations with free wireless Internet access and a delicious and healthy, hot breakfast with made-to-order eggs using all fresh grade-A ingredients, plus our chef’s daily specials. We accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests, such as Breakfast-To-Go on demand. In order to accommodate our guests, we also offer very flexible check-in service for early as well as late arrivals for no extra fees. Why stay in costly and impersonal Washington DC Hotels when you can enjoy this wonderful Washington DC Inn Bed and Breakfast for much less.
