The Spotlight on 2500 Penn a Placemakr Experience

Stylish Apartment-Style Comfort Near D.C.'s Music Scene

Modern and relaxed, 2500 Penn, a Placemakr Experience blends the convenience of a hotel with the space and comfort of a short-term apartment rental. Located in Washington, D.C.’s Foggy Bottom neighborhood, it's within walking distance of iconic landmarks like the White House and National Mall, and just a quick ride to several top music venues. This 3-star property offers a welcoming vibe with practical perks like kitchenettes, a fitness center, and free WiFi.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s location is a huge win — it’s within walking or rideshare distance to major D.C. concert venues, yet tucked just far enough away for a quiet night’s sleep post-show. A 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins easy after an encore-filled evening, and the in-room kitchenettes mean you can wind down with a midnight snack or pre-show drink. Private parking is a bonus if you're driving in for a gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want space to spread out and pregame together
  • Solo travelers attending a dream concert and looking for a safe, central base
  • Couples turning a concert night into a weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a quieter place to recover after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want more bang for their buck with in-room amenities

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site bar, the hotel does have an on-site restaurant and you're surrounded by tons of walkable dining options. Each room includes a fridge, microwave, and coffee machine — and many have full kitchens — making it easy to fuel up before or after a show. Breakfast is available nearby, even if you’re rolling out of bed a bit later than usual.

Nightlife Options

You’re close to laid-back lounges and lively bars in Foggy Bottom and Dupont Circle. Whether you're after craft cocktails, live DJs, or just a chill pint, it's all within easy reach. The hotel itself has a quiet, residential vibe — perfect if you prefer to leave the party behind after the encore.

What People Say

Guests love the apartment-style layout of the rooms, calling out the full kitchens, comfy beds, and clean, modern decor. Many appreciate the central location — close to landmarks, public transit, and music venues — and the friendly, helpful 24/7 staff.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers mention that housekeeping is limited during short stays, and that the lobby area is more functional than luxurious. It’s also worth noting that while the vibe is stylish, it’s not a traditional full-service hotel — more of a hybrid stay.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to a D.C. concert and want style, space, and location without the noise, 2500 Penn is a smart, comfortable pick.

Superb

Liked: Location was great. It was clean and it was rather large.
Disliked: No air conditioning. The staff told me to just sleep with my windows open, but then, because it was a ground floor unit, people were smoking pot leaning against my window. I asked the front desk for help. Paul the security guy was sitting on the couch and he said “I can’t do anything about it. They will just tell me it’s public property”. I texted management about it the next day and told several staff but they didn’t offer anything but “Sorry and I hope it won’t happen again”.

Enjoyable

Disliked: 1.Even with no cleaning facilities for 7 days, someone could check if there are any urgent things to attend to in the room at least once or twice within the week.2. One front office staff who did not get back to me on a request l made.
