It was exactly what my husband & I were looking for! Not your same ol same ol kind of place!
We visited DC for our 1st anniversary celebration getaway; it took me forever to decide on a place that was different yet fair priced. But the second I saw the Helix on Tripadvisor -I feel in love! And once we arrived there, we were not disappointed. I love that the place has some spunk and character to it. If you want boring and are looking for the run of the mill place- don’t come here! We are both 30 and we really enjoyed the Helix, The staff was helpful and Fun! When we got to our room -they had placed a fruit dish and wine in our room- to help us celebrate our 1st anniversary- That was very unexpected and special! We did go to the lounge in the evening, which was laid back. Anytime we asked for recommendations for dinner, transportation, or entertainment- the staff was spot on! The room was clean, the bed was SOOOO comfortable, they actual had so good TV stations. The location was perfect for us. We caught a cab to the Smithsoun- it was about 5 bucks. Check out the City Segway Tours- Its the best way to see DC! There were good restaurants just in walking distance and I felt very safe walking around. I look forward to going to another Kimpton Hotel on our next getway. Be sure to sign up with the Kimpton Rewards. We got free internet and a free drinks during happy hour, and you get a coupon to raid the mini bar (how cool it that)! It’s the little things that Count to me, and The Helix def. exceeded my expectations! Thanks So much!
