We're thrilled to announce that The Dupont Circle has been recognized with the prestigious MICHELIN Guide’s One Key distinction, a testament to our commitment to excellence in luxury hospitality. Among the few hotels in Washington, DC to receive this honor, we stand out as a beacon of exceptional service and refinement in the heart of the vibrant Dupont Circle neighborhood.

On April 24, 2024, the MICHELIN Guide unveiled its inaugural list of One, Two, and Three Key hotels in the United States. This historic moment marks the culmination of years of meticulous evaluation by the MICHELIN team, focusing on five crucial aspects: architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, overall personality and character, value for the price, and contribution to the guest experience in a particular setting.

Our selection as a One Key hotel signifies a very special stay, reflecting our dedication to providing guests with an unforgettable experience from the moment they step through our doors. From our elegant design to our impeccable service, we strive to exceed expectations and create lasting memories for each and every guest.

The MICHELIN Guide features over 5,000 accommodations worldwide, catering to every style and budget. Whether you're seeking a lively urban retreat or a tranquil escape, there's a MICHELIN Key hotel to suit your preferences.

The MICHELIN Key distinction is akin to the renowned MICHELIN Stars for restaurants, recognizing hotels that offer outstanding stays. While hotel and restaurant selections are made independently, a MICHELIN Star restaurant may reside within a MICHELIN Key hotel. At The Dupont Circle, we take pride in the fact that our onsite restaurant, The Pembroke, is independently recognized as MICHELIN-recommended.

We’re honored to be recognized among the best of the best. We invite you to experience the luxury and warmth of our hotel firsthand and discover why we've earned this esteemed distinction. Read more about this honor here.
