Oyster Hotel Review

The Darcy Washington DC

Location

In a residential neighborhood populated by townhouses and foreign embassies; four blocks from Dupoint Circle for restaurants and nightlife

The Darcy is located on quiet Rhode Island Avenue, a safe distance away from high-rise business buildings of downtown (but still walking distance of them) and just beside the tony homes and smattering of embassies on Massachusetts Avenue. A short five-minute walk will put you at the center of Dupont Circle, a lovely neighborhood known for its iconic park and bustling restaurants and nightlife.

  • 25 minutes by taxi (about $20) to the Reagan National Airport
  • 30 minutes by taxi (about $35) to Dulles International Airport
  • Union Station, D.C.'s major train station served by Amtrak and commuter rails, is less than 10 minutes away using the Metro mass-transit system (or $10 taxi ride).
  • Closest Metro stop is Dupont Circle (Red Line), four blocks away from the hotel, which offers direct access to downtown D.C., the National Mall, the Smithsonian, Capitol Hill, and the zoo.
  • Easy to catch a cab at the hotel; staffers can help
  • Just five minutes by foot (four blocks) to the center of Dupont Circle for shops and restaurants
  • 10 minutes by foot to the White House
  • 15 minutes by foot to the National Mall
  • Under 10 minutes by Metro to Capitol Hill
  • About a $10 taxi ride to the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and other surrounding monuments on the western end of the National Mall
