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.

Best 1 one night stay ever!

What an absolutely fantastic place! The customer service is top-notch, with such empathetic and thoughtful staff that make you feel right at home. The environment is spotless and incredibly comfortable, and I absolutely love how they've incorporated air purifiers and humidifiers throughout! It's a breath of fresh air—literally!place. It’s just quiet and lovely and comfortable and oh my God the total shower experience with the whole bathroom was like Can-live-here One of the nicest places -!I only stayed the night, but I will stay again.
