At our Washington DC Bed and Breakfast in Dupont Circle, we work hard to maintain impeccably clean bedrooms complete with all-white linens for a comfortable and pleasant experience for our guests. We are a pet- and smoke-free environment and avoid using aromatic candles and sprays, making us a great choice for guests trying to avoid allergens or sensitivities. Free Wi-Fi is available for the convenience of busy travelers.

Our property is not wheelchair accessible due to the historic character of our four-story row house built in 1893. However, we are located in a great location in downtown Washington DC, making us a convenient choice for couples looking for a romantic getaway or travelers looking for the best places to stay in the city.

Accessibility
American Guest House warmly welcomes all guests. However, due to the historic significance of our four-story row house built in 1893, our property is not wheelchair accessible. Removal of necessary physical barriers for accessibility is not readily achievable as such removal would threaten or destroy the historic significance of the property. These barriers include:

  • No public parking directly in front of the Inn. Guests must make use of a nearby public parking garage
  • No elevator
  • Steps leading to the entrance of the Inn
  • Numerous steps lead to all guestrooms
  • Narrow hallways and doorways are not wheelchair accessible

We will continue to implement the relevant portions of the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Level AA (WCAG 2.0 AA) or such other standards as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
