Why we recommend it
The LINE DC is a design hotel set in a former church in Adams Morgan, one of Washington's liveliest neighbourhoods. The building is more than a century old, which gives the hotel an unusual setting. It is a good choice for travellers who want a hotel with a strong personality rather than a corporate feel.
Rooms and suites are described as boutique, with modern furnishings, premium bedding and city views. Room service is available throughout the day. The hotel has rooftop views, more than 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space with in-house catering, and wellness programmes such as yoga.
Food and drink are a central part of the hotel. No Goodbyes is the neighbourhood restaurant, serving dishes from around the world made with ingredients from the Chesapeake Bay and the Mid-Atlantic region, and it serves brunch at weekends. The No Goodbyes Bar is known for its cocktails, and there is a daily happy hour. The Coffee Shop @ No Goodbyes serves coffee, pastries and breakfast for those heading out early.
The LINE suits couples, younger travellers, creative types and anyone who wants to be close to nightlife. It also works for small events and celebrations. It is less suited to visitors who want to be on the National Mall, as the main monuments are a taxi or bus ride away, but the neighbourhood makes up for it in the evenings.
Book ahead for weekends, when the bars and restaurants are busy, and check the hotel's website for special rates. The 9:30 Club sometimes promotes discounted rates at the hotel for fans of particular shows, which is worth looking out for if you are in town for a concert. Check the hotel's events calendar if you are visiting for a weekend.
Adams Morgan is known for its bars and restaurants along 18th Street, and Tryst and Jack Rose Dining Saloon are both a short walk away. The U Street corridor, with Ben's Chili Bowl and the 9:30 Club, is a little further east. The National Zoo is across Rock Creek Park to the north-west, and the centre of the city is around 10 to 15 minutes away by taxi.
