The Spotlight on Hotel Harrington

Classic Comfort in the Heart of D.C.

Modern convenience meets historic charm at Hotel Harrington, a no-frills, centrally located hotel in downtown Washington, D.C. Just an 11-minute walk from the National Mall and close to major music venues, this 3-star hotel offers a welcoming base for fans in town for a show. With an on-site restaurant, bar, and free WiFi, it balances value with convenience in one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Hotel Harrington delivers. Walk to some of D.C.'s biggest venues or grab a quick ride to others — you're never far from the music. The 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze, and the on-site bar is a perfect post-show hangout. While the hotel is centrally located, guests report surprisingly quiet rooms, ideal for crashing after a high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable, central lodging
  • Solo travelers catching a dream concert
  • Couples enjoying a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans craving a low-key recovery spot after a loud night out
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want simple, solid accommodations

Food and Drink Options

Hotel Harrington features an on-site restaurant and bar, ideal for grabbing a bite or drink after the encore. Room service is available, and with its central location, you’re close to late-night eats and breakfast spots — perfect for sleeping in and still grabbing brunch.

Nightlife Options

Whether you're keeping the night going or winding down, you're covered. The hotel bar offers a casual spot for a nightcap, while nearby lounges and pubs let you soak in D.C.’s local flavor. Live music venues and energetic bars are just a short walk or ride away.

What People Say

Guests love the unbeatable location — steps from major attractions and venues — and the helpful 24/7 staff. Reviews often highlight the value, especially for downtown D.C., and the convenience for concert-goers. Many appreciate the old-school charm balanced with essentials like WiFi and on-site dining.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms could use a refresh, and the vintage vibe may feel a bit dated to modern travelers. But for the price and proximity, most guests feel it’s a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

Hotel Harrington is a solid, budget-friendly choice for concert-goers who want to stay central, sleep comfortably, and keep the music going all weekend.

We enjoyed our stay very much.

Liked: Location was perfect for tourists. We were walking distance to the metro, the circulator bus, many attractions and plenty of places to eat. The bed was very comfortable, and we enjoyed Harrys Bar and Grill for lunch/dinner.
Disliked: Some of the staff could have been a bit more welcoming and attentive. Others were great. Instant coffee and a hot pot in the room. If they invest in some carafes and have fresh coffee available in the lobby, it would be more welcoming.
