One-of-a-kind Logan Circle hotel puts the emphasis on art
Pop art meets professionalism at the Helix, a Kimpton Hotel. Located near Logan Circle, visitors recognize the Washington, D.C. hotel even before entering -- it's the one with the man-in-the-clouds painting and giant, aqua-blue throne sculptures in front. Expect retro-cool details at every turn, paired with up-to-the-minute amenities like 37-inch flat-panel TVs.

Excellent stay
We stayed in an amazing and HUGE room with a very very comfy king size bed! Very clean. Outdated art and decor but who cares? They serve complimentary wine, champagne and cider during happy hour in their lounge area :) :) :) Management and staff are VERY helpful. One night I really wanted to sip some tea and the bar was closed. The guy at the front desk brought me a whole kettle with hot water and gave me 6-7 bags of tea :) Would definitely recommend staying here.

Nice room, but no free breakfast
Nice comfortable room with nice, brightly-colored decor and very comfortable bed. You need a free breakfast card to get the continental breakfast in the morning. Fortunately they told us before we started eating, it didn't look worth paying for.

Business challenged
The accomodation, location, and service was reasonably good, but business support features were poor. The room's cell phone signal was too low (Verizon 4G# to sustain a call. The navigation to their WIFI was awckard and took two calls to their support desk #w/ long hold#. Then it was too light to sustain a Skype call. Failing that, I had to make a 30 minute #appx.# business call using their phone and they billed it at $97. #When I questioned it, the hostess reduced it to $37,) So you can play here, but be on the lookout for sand traps. :-)

Not bad
Its an old hotel that they renovated. The location is not bad, close to the metro. But the hotel is about a 2.5 star in my opinion

Funky decor, fun time
The decor of the hotel is very interesting. We liked the shabby chic attitude and the trendy lounge & bar. The rooms aren't anything special, but the design and details are fun and pleasant. The king bed was very comfy. I'd recommend it as a change of pace from the ordinary.

Not too shabby, rather eccentric
A business colleague and I stayed here last Friday night. The room was rather eccentric, and well-designed (they really went in for the good furniture). Functional gym on the first floor, rather rowdy bar scene late Friday night in the lounge

Funky hotel, slightly dated
Very fun place and would stay here again. However, the sofa in the room was not comfortable and had a few small stains and the room needed to be touched up. I would still recommend.
