The Poppy Georgetown

Charming Garden Escape in the Heart of Georgetown

Modern, cozy, and full of character, The Poppy Georgetown blends historic charm with a boutique guesthouse experience. Tucked away on a leafy street in one of DC’s most walkable neighborhoods, it offers a calm retreat just minutes from the buzz of downtown music venues and nightlife.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’ll love the peace and quiet after a big show—this spot is known for its serene garden setting and low-key, residential vibe. It’s about a 15-minute ride to major venues like The Anthem and Capital One Arena, and there's flexible 12:00 PM checkout so you can sleep in after a late night. Local rideshares and public transit are easily accessible, and the neighborhood is very walkable.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a cozy, shared space to wind down
- Solo travelers catching a dream tour stop and seeking a safe, quiet base
- Couples looking to pair a show with a romantic weekend
- Fans who want recovery space without noisy hallways or loud bars
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want style and comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no restaurant on-site, you’re in luck—Georgetown is packed with walkable cafes, late-night bites, and casual dining spots. The hotel offers complimentary coffee and tea, and many nearby eateries serve brunch or breakfast well into the afternoon, perfect after a late gig.

Nightlife Options

You’re just a short walk or ride from a mix of intimate bars, lounges, and live music spots scattered throughout Georgetown and Dupont Circle. While The Poppy itself is more of a quiet retreat, it’s easy to venture out and enjoy the scene before returning to a restful night’s sleep.

What People Say

Guests rave about the beautiful garden setting, the spotlessly clean rooms, and the friendly, personal service. Many highlight the hotel’s homey vibe and say it feels more like staying at a friend’s stylish townhouse than a traditional hotel. The location gets high marks for being quiet but close to everything.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no elevator, so if you’re hauling gear or luggage, be prepared for stairs. Also, while the vibe is charming, the guesthouse doesn’t have the typical hotel amenities like a 24/7 front desk or room service—this is more of a boutique B&B feel.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a peaceful, stylish, and affordable base near DC’s top concert venues, The Poppy Georgetown is a hidden gem that delivers comfort and charm.
