Hotel Hive

Smart, Stylish, and Steps from the Music

Modern, buzzing, and full of charm, Hotel Hive is DC’s first micro hotel, offering cleverly designed rooms with a cool industrial aesthetic. Located in the heart of Foggy Bottom, it's just a short walk to legendary venues and iconic landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial and the White House. Compact but packed with personality, each room makes the most of its space—with comforts like air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and sleek private bathrooms.

With its rooftop terrace, great on-site eats, and walkable nightlife, Hotel Hive is a smart base for concert-goers who want to stay central without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re within easy reach of major music venues—whether you’re heading to a stadium gig or a more intimate show. After the encore, head back without the hassle: walk, hop on a late-night ride-share, or take nearby Metro lines. Despite the central location, rooms are surprisingly quiet thanks to thoughtful soundproofing. The 24-hour front desk and flexible vibe also make check-ins and late returns stress-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a fun, central crash pad
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list tour
• Couples making a weekend of it
• Fans who want a stylish but quiet space to recharge
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want great design and location

Food and Drink Options

Hotel Hive keeps things easy with an on-site pizzeria serving up slices late into the night—perfect after a show. Room service isn’t 24/7, but with plenty of walkable restaurants and food spots nearby, you won’t go hungry. Sleep in guilt-free—there’s no formal breakfast buffet, but you’ll find coffee shops and cafes just around the corner.

Nightlife Options

The rooftop bar is a city favorite, serving up craft cocktails and DJs under the stars. You’re also just minutes from DC’s best bars, lounges, and live music spots, making it easy to keep the vibe going post-show—or wind down with a local brew.

What People Say

Guests rave about the location, calling it "perfect for concerts and sightseeing." The rooftop bar and affordable rates are frequent highlights, as is the hotel’s friendly staff and clean, modern design. Many mention the micro rooms as "small but super efficient," with everything you need for a short stay.

Areas for Improvement

The rooms are compact—this is a micro hotel, after all—so don’t expect a ton of space to spread out. There’s no gym or spa, and breakfast options are limited onsite, but most guests agree the trade-offs are worth it for the price, style, and location.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a stylish, affordable home base within walking distance of DC’s top music venues, Hotel Hive hits the right note.
