Whenever I pay, I stay in Joie de Vivre or Kimpton's near downtown or Dupont - I never stay as far as Georgetown let alone outside the District.  I usually book through Hotels.com based on best available price for those hotels.

When work pays, I stay where the conference is being held, usually the Westin or Marriott/Omni.  So in two weeks I'm staying at the Westin and The Palomar.

I also like the Liaison, George, Rogue, Topaz, and Donovan.  I have not stayed at the Madera, Monaco or Carlyle yet.

I think the kimpton hotels are great: Helix

I also really like the Tabbard inn


FYI, the Helix is now the Mason & Rook.  the bar there used to be my closest source of alcohol, back in my bachelor daze...

Used to work for Kimpton. Not as great since they got bought out IHG (Holiday Inn Company) but still good spots. The Mason & Rook near Logan Circle is small but classy.

Got a suite in NYC for $100 by Flatiron once via that app

EDIT EDIT: "He has this weird glint in his eye that makes me feel like I'm Reese Witherspoon in Fear, but later in the film when the finger-blasting is just an faded reminder of insoutient teenage fornication."

Nice.  My familiarity with the stalker genre was insufficient to generate that level of detail.  And I actually considered using the word "people" to end the first line.  Scary.

speak of the devil I'm actually looking at booking a hotel in NYC.. i'd like to be somewhere close to central park/museum of natural history.. we will be two adults.. with two kids 7 and 4.. i'm looking sometime around mid april

any suggestions would be helpful/welcome

There's probably plenty of one bedroom apartments available on airbnb with more space than your house!

Yes, but other, more refined, cities have more than one Joie de Vivre hotel to choose from.

*Rouge

Had a nice stay at the Rouge. Was convenient to the Tabard for drinks, and to Le Dip for dinner. What a night.
Enjoyed the W as well.
Don't like that at the Marriott Marquis they said: "welcome back," and greeted me and my friend as "Mr. and Mrs. [Challenged]." Was trying to avoid my current friend knowing that I had taken a previous friend there...

This 1000 times.  The new Mrs just rolls with it now, but yep, has happened more than once and more than just at Marriott's.

And thank you for the correction on Rouge - got Star Wars on my mind.
