Kimpton Banneker Hotel

The Kimpton Banneker Hotel is a stylish boutique hotel located in the heart of Washington, D.C., at Scott Circle, opposite the Australian embassy. Originally built as an apartment building in 1967, it has transformed through various ownerships and renovations, most recently reopening in June 2021 after a $20 million upgrade. The hotel features 144 uniquely designed rooms, a rooftop event space named Lady Bird, and a French bistro called Le Sel. The hotel's name pays homage to Benjamin Banneker, a notable early surveyor of the area, making it a culturally rich destination for both tourists and researchers.
