| The Hotel Helix
is the final hotel debut in Washington for Kimpton Hotels, where
"Everything is beautiful - pop is everything." It's
DC's newest hotel phenomenon, designed for serious devotees
of pop culture. This small hotel, located in a trendy neighborhood
adjacent to DuPont Circle, is just minutes away from the White
House and major business districts. The McPherson Square Metro
is 4 blocks away. The nearby U Street corridor is vibrant with
theatre, boutiques, restaurants, and an eclectic nightlife.
A stay at the Hotel Helix is a "Life Imitating Art"
experience. Strobe lights greet you to bouncy pop tunes. Guest
registration is simplified at "check-in stands"
designed to personalize the process. Strut down the black
and white runway past lime green hallways where your pad awaits
you. Rooms and suites offer a kaleidoscope of shape and color.
A private bed nook is concealed behind fluttering sheer drapes.
The room's ambience is playfully suggestive of a college dorm
with Lava lamps, board games, Mad Magazine and a well-designed
entertainment center that swivels. Gummy Bears at turndown
and Pez dispensers in the minibar, are worth the price of
admission.
The Helix Lounge, a chameleon-like lounge that changes
moods, features classic American comfort food. Favorites such as Meatloaf, Mac
n' Cheese and Patty Melts are served daily from 4:00 p.m. The hotel offers complimentary
continental breakfast and evening wine hour. A heated Cabana accommodates seasonal
outdoor dining. |
