The Hotel George shakes things up in the nation’s capital. In a city well known for its power brokers and style makers, travelers book this boutique hotel for its dynamic interiors and central Capitol Hill location. The dramatic rooms and suites are the very definition of modern living, with bold artwork, monochromatic tones, clean lines, and high-tech amenities. The hotel’s hip quotient is furthered by its restaurant, Bistro Bis (see), which is often considered one of the top tables in town. Its industrial chic design is the perfect complement to the hotel’s sleek personality, and its French bistro fare is a favorite of politicos and celebrities. Those traveling with pets will appreciate the hotel's "Pet Amenity Program," which includes a water and food dish, dog mat, and special treats. Lonely guests who left their pet at home can take part in the "Guppy Love" program, where the hotel lends a goldfish for guests to keep in their room throughout their stay.
