My wife and I just stayed for two nights at the historic Phoenix Park Hotel and had an absolutely wonderful time celebrating our 10th anniversary. The room was very charming and very clean with lovely furnishings and an incredibly comfortable bed. The front office staff was very professional and friendly and the manager inquired about our satisfaction with our room. Our view was of the old Post Office Building and Union Station both of which house numerous restaurants and shops as well as the Postal Museum. We chose the Phoenix Park because of the walking access to all that Capitol Hill area has to offer, so we left the car parked and enjoyed the beauty of the parks, fountains and buildings and took advantage of neighborhood restaurants and bars including the well known and popular Dubliner located on the bottom level of the hotel. We were sorry that we did not stay longer because there are so many interesting sights nearby and we were so happy with our accommodations. We definitely will be planning another stay and already have a list of things to do within walking distance of the Phoenix Park.

PPH is in a great location- if you take the metro in to Union Station, exit the station, turn right, walk down to the corner, and Phoenix Park is right there. Standing outside of the hotel, you can also see the Capitol building. It's a super nice hotel, with a really nice TV in the room. We only stayed one night, and wished we hadn't brought out car, because the cost of parking was $30 ish for the night, and they didn't advertside that. It's expensive, but great for the DC area. Didn't try the bar, but heard it's great.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights as part of a coast to coast tour of the States by rail. It was one of our favourite hotels of the entire trip.
Our bedroom was very comfortable with a lovely high bed.
We ate in the Irish bar which is part of the hotel and the food was of a very high standard. The staff were always friendly and polite.
The hotel is in a very good location, just across from Union Station.
I would thoroughly recommend it.

What a complete surprise. We took an overnight trip from NYC where our hotel was "passable" (for NYC). But when we arrived here WOW. It was just my 18 year old daughter and myself and the gorgeous king sized bed was so comfortable that we NEVER wanted to leave the room. I got the room from Hotwire for only $89 and didnt expect much. The decor was absolutely beautiful, staff was fine, checkin easy , and LOCATION was AMAZING!! just 1 block from Union Station where all the tours leave/return from. we arrived late and just walked about 3-4 blocks to the capital right behind us. it was so lovely - We ordered the breakfast in the morning from room service (something I NEVER DO- did it mostly to save time) and I couldnt have been happier. it was 14.99 each and we EASILY could have shared only one breakfast. It was a traditional Irish breakfast with bacon eggs, potatoes, sausage and positively te most delicious huge slices of Irish soda bread I have ever had. Neither of us could have finished- and were sad because it was so delicious. The only thing I would say the hotel should consider - is (at least in the KING rooms) is an extra table - it was hard to sit on the bed and eat- but really I dont have any complaints. beautiful beautiful hotel - and truly delicious food.
