Any thoughts? I was suspecting the Omni Shoreham, but it's not a boutique hotel, right...?

Thanks, and of course I will use your HOTWIRE link if I do bid on this hotel.

Sounds like the Hotel Palomar. Look further down and you will see a win at a rate of $168 per night with the exact specs of your hotel.

I just updated both threads. I'm sorry not to have followed up; I didn't end up booking either trip, so I didn't have much to share with the board.

And your plans are firm for this trip?

My dates are flexible, but yes, I would like to take the trip if I can find a good hotel rate.

I had booked and planned a trip to DC in December (and I posted here with my results), but I had to cancel it when my flights were cancelled due to bad weather. My local airports were shut down due to weather on several dates in January, which is why I was never able to take of any of the trips I inquired about in the other threads.

My guess for the above listing would be the Palomar or the Donovan House.

I ended up changing my dates to 5/20-5/23 (three nights) and bid on a 3* boutique in the Dupont Circle zone for $114.

Amenities: boutique, fitness, restaurant, business, Internet. 4.5/5 TripAdvisor rating.

I expected it to be either the Rouge or the Helix, and it was the Helix. Wish I could have found something a tad more centrally located, but $114 was FAR lower than anything else I could find on Hotwire, and I had unsuccessfully bid up to $125 on Priceline (White House/Downtown zone).
