You won't find anything remotely close to a colonial reproduction here amid the hanging egg chairs, iPod docking stations, spiral showers and bowl-like bathtubs — perfect if you're seeking an out-of-the-box style lodging.
The Donovan is a good pick for couples and solo travelers, but not so much for families, especially in summer when the rooftop pool closes at 5pm and the rooftop bar opens.
The rooftop pool and lounge bar are the hotel's best assets.
Situated along Thomas Circle, this centrally-located Kimpton boutique hotel mixes urban chic with a bit of James Bond cool to a vibrant crowd.
From its dark-purple-and-white color scheme, to its pod-shaped "cocoon" showers, to its mod lobby, and rowdy rooftop pool parties, the Donovan House offers a sexy night in the nation's capital.
