History
The Dupont Plaza Hotel opened in 1947 on the site of the demolished Leiter House. It was sold in 1997 to the Irish-based Doyle Hotel Group[3] and renamed Jurys Washington Hotel.[4]
In 2009 the hotel was renamed The Dupont Circle Hotel and underwent a US$50 to US$52[2][4][5] million renovation, adding a ninth floor containing 13 suites[2] and a duplex Presidential Suite.
Writing in The Washington Post, Nancy Trejos applauded the hotel's furnishings and convenient location, but felt that it charged too much for some of its services.[5] Writing in The New York Times, Fred Bernstein also praised the hotel's room design. He noted that there were "small mistakes" made by his room service.[2]
The Dupont Hotel contains nine floors, bar (Doyle), coffeeshop (Doyle & Co), patio[5] and a restaurant (The Pembroke).[5] The Dupont Circle is located at 1500 New Hampshire Ave NW.[2]
