Akwaaba – D.C.
 |
  |
In the heart of the nation’s capital stands Akwaaba DC, a historic townhouse in fashionable Dupont Circle. You can walk to The White House and visit all the patriotic wonders of the city, take the Metro two stops to the Washington Convention Center, or visit the museums on the mall, a casual stroll away. On second thought, you may be tempted to never leave the inn!
This architectural jewel features a welcoming parlor with fireplace, a grand dining room where an expansive breakfast is served, and elegantly appointed guest rooms with all the amenities. And did we mention the books! Designed with a literary theme in mind, each guest room features the books of the author or genre it is named after. Choose from the Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, Toni Morrison or Walter Mosley rooms. Or maybe you’re in the mood for the Romance or Poetry room. Whichever your pleasure, luxury and literature await at Akwaaba DC.

About The Neighborhood
istros, bars, boutiques and bookstores line the streets that come together at Dupont Circle, the meeting place for this cosmopolitan neighborhood. Join in a pick-up game of chess in the Circle, or sit by the fountain and people-watch as locals roll past on bicycles or stroll past with dogs. Stop by the neighborhood farmer’s market on Sunday for fresh local produce and cooking demonstrations by local chefs. Or try to identify the flags that fly from the city’s largest concentration of international embassies, which sits just northwest of the Circle, giving the neighborhood an extra dash of global flavor. The trendy nabe is also the heart of Washington, DC’s nightlife, and it borders historic U Street, another popular nightlife destination where Duke Ellington played his first notes and where locals linger over cocktails or laptops at popular spots like Busboys & Poets. When evening beckons, you can also catch a concert, a provocative play or a sporting event all in the neighborhood.>Directions
