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.

Friendly staff and but kitchen...

Liked: Friendly staff, parking available ($40 p/ day), comfy apartment, Supermarket right across the street and walking distance to George Town, but Subway or Taxi will be needed to reach the Mall area.
Disliked: The kitchen could be better equipped, not enough forks (4x), knifes(3x) and spoons(4x), also no tray for the oven, so we could not cook a pizza for example.

Decent location, rooms need updating...

Liked: The in-room kitchen was useful. Working elevators, ramp to the building, made for easy access with stroller.
Disliked: Room was outdated, dingy, and stuffy. It felt dusty and the room was incredibly hot and dry which made sleeping uncomfortable. The bathtub was really slippery and my young son actually slipped and fell, resulting in a trip to the ER.

Perfect accessible location . Kitchen...

Liked: Great location in dc within walking distance to Georgetown, monuments, DuPont circle, Metro station etc. The kitchen makes it super easy for families. There is a Trader Joe's across the street. Staff is friendly. Feels safe. Available parking with extra payment.
Disliked: The kitchen could use a few more basic supplies, like a baking pan but it did have a few pots, pans and cutlery.

Great location, nice suite, good...

Liked: The location was near everything you needed. The building was nice, room was spacious, and kitchen was the right size.
Disliked: Hospitality workers need retraining. It’s supposed to feel welcoming and the workers here were dismissive. Room was decently cleaned but could use a deeper clean.

Overall, a good value for...

Liked: The location was fabulous. There was a Trader Joe's across the street for snacks, etc. Also, Georgetown was a very easy 2 block walk away with plenty of great restaurants and shops. The metro was an easy walk and there was a bus line that did stop very close to the hotel. Our room was a decent size.The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.Very nice to have a living room and separate bedroom for a family. The price point is very affordable.
Disliked: The hotel facilities are a bit outdated. The kitchen was ok but the dishwasher didn't close well and the toaster was old and did not work. We requested a new toaster and the replacement was also older and we had to hold down the handle to get it to work. Lastly, the room air conditioner and heat does not work independently and is based on the entire hotel. The temperature outside was warm and we could not get comfortable cooling temperatures in our room.Lastly, there was not a functioning ice maker in the hotel but we did make cubes of ice in our kitchen.
