One of the most relaxing and memorable stays I’ve had in years. Swann House is every bit as charming as I remembered from 20 years ago. The owners are so warm and welcoming, and Christine, the Inn Keeper, is not only a gracious host but also a great cook—breakfast each morning was a real treat. The house is located in a lovely neighborhood, and just a short walk to Dupont Circle station, which made it easy to get around without needing a ride service. I’m so grateful we returned after all these years. I wholeheartedly recommend Swann House and look forward to coming back again.
Upon my arrival, I was given a tour of the B&B. It was beautifully decorated, and I noticed little touches that made it more special, such as snacks by the coffee/tea maker and access to sunscreen and pool toys at the pool. The included breakfast offered variety and was tasty. During my stay, I felt like I was in a home away from home. I hope to stay here again in the future.
The Swann House is a very luxurious and comfortable bed and breakfast. It is in an excellent location within walking distance to numerous restaurants and amenities.
We absolutely loved our stay at Swann House. The hotel is impeccably designed. It rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. Breakfast was lovely. We can’t wait to go back.
Very clean, updated, comfortable room. Short walk to Dupont Circle metro. Staff very friendly and helpful. Thank you Kaylin and staff for a great weekend!
