Adam’s Inn

Washington, DC


Tucked on a shady residential street, this 27-room inn is known for its personalized service, fluffy linens and handy location just a few blocks from 18th St’s global smorgasbord. Inviting, homey rooms sprawl through two adjacent townhouses and a carriage house. The common areas have a nice garden patio, and there’s a general sense of sherry-scented chintz.

Breakfast is DIY continental style. It is 0.75 miles from the Metro.
