4.8 out of 5Best wedding location
March 11, 2012
My wife and I hosted our wedding at the Swann House last year, and Rick did everything in his power to make it phenomenal (and he succeeded!). We stayed in Il Duomo, which felt absolutely opulent. The Swann House truly felt like an escape from reality. All of our guests stayed here as well; everyone still raves about it, and one couple we invited later held their wedding here as well. Many fond memories of poppyseed waffles, as well!

May 12, 2009
My stay at The Swann House was enjoyable in every way. I stayed in The Jennifer Green Room with an oversized bathroom which is just amazing! I also liked the private balcony, overlooking pool area, in this room. The innkeepers/staff at The Swann House are wonderful and make every effort to make guests feel welcomed and special. Afternoon refreshments are offered each afternoon and are always tasty. An excellent breakfast is served each morning in the formal dining room. The location of The Swann House, in Washington's historic Dupont Circle, is outstanding and within walking distance of excellent restaurants. This is definitely an inn I would stay at again and recommend to others. --Maxine Pinson Contributing Editor, BedandBreakfast.com

Our family enjoyed our stay at the Swann House, and felt right at home. It was amazing how tranquil and stately the environment of the inn was, despite its location in the middle of bustling Washington, DC. We have been to the nation's capitol many times, but no hotel could match this stay!
