The Poppy Georgetown Guesthouse and Gardens

This experience was amazing! My partner and I stayed for one night to slow down, find some peace, and enjoy a quiet moment together, and it was absolutely perfect. We stayed in the room with the private garden, which allowed us to fully relax, watch the stars, and enjoy the sound of the birds. It truly felt like the perfect getaway.

The beds were extremely comfortable, and the shower was incredible! We also loved that they allowed us to have breakfast on our private patio, which made the experience even more special and let us continue enjoying the peaceful garden atmosphere.

Breakfast was delicious and very complete — we had English muffins, pastries, and excellent coffee. We will definitely be back!

The Poppy is super charming and in a great neighborhood. Having said that it is more Airbnb then hotel. I arrived at 6pm to check in and was left an envelope taped to the door with instructions on a code I could use by solving a puzzle. This code got me in the front door and into my room. I have a disability so was surprised that there was no elevator and steep stairs to take my bag. I booked the hotel in part because they had valet parking but no valet and no human when I arrived so out of luck. The rooms are charming but tiny. The breakfast was self serve and continental. Fine built nothing special. Cereal was to be eaten out of the plastic cereal container as there were no bowls. The staff in the morning sat at a laptop and looked at room reservation spreadsheets with an occasional instruction on breakfast if you looked confused. It all was a weird experience. All for$400+ a night. Great location but it felt like in their effort to minimize cost and overhead they just went too far. Having a friendlier and helpful staff would help and being clearer that there is no staff after 6pm should have been noted.

very friendly owner, super location in a great heighbourhood. Lovely old house. Brakfast had everything we needed.
we would return at anytime.

My husband and I enjoyed a 4 night stay in late March. What a fabulous boutique hotel in the most charming neighborhood! Thank you to Riley (sorry for any misspelling) who assisted me in adding an extra night to our reservation, she is so kind. We appreciated the text information regarding the after hours check in. Our room was very comfortable and clean. For my husband and I, it was a great space to sleep at night and we loved being able to open the windows for fresh air, especially during a rainstorm. We could not hear any other guests so we slept very well. It felt like we were staying in the home of fabulous hosts. The common area is clean and space is plentiful. Having snacks at all times was great; water, juices, tea, coffee, cereal, fruit, and baked goods. We loved the location and enjoyed our daily walks to DC, and all around Georgetown. We will definitely return to this hotel when we return to DC. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so enjoyable and COZY!

Atmosfera

Good location.

todo es excelente

The place has a charming, cozy feel and the room was clean and comfortable. I also really enjoyed the patio and the kitchen. The breakfast was excellent and very complete. The staff provided great service, John and Nico made the experience even better. The check-in process was very easy.

Delightfully small, great help yourself amenities and a chill patio for relaxing after a day in the city. The hosts and cleaning staff were very accommodating of my travel schedule. Excellent hot shower with good water pressure.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Poppy Georgetown! From the moment we arrived, it felt less like checking into a hotel and more like being welcomed into a beautiful, elegant home. The property itself is stunning—full of charm, character, and thoughtful details that make the entire experience feel special.
The rooms were incredibly comfortable, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean. Every space in the hotel feels cozy yet refined, with little touches that show how much care goes into creating a great guest experience. It’s the perfect blend of historic Georgetown charm and modern comfort.
What truly made our stay stand out was the hospitality—especially John. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. John went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and took the time to make us feel right at home. It’s rare to find that level of personal care, and it made our stay even more memorable.
The location is also fantastic—quiet and peaceful while still being an easy walk to Georgetown’s shops, restaurants, and historic spots. It’s the perfect home base for exploring Washington, DC.
If you’re looking for a unique, relaxing, and truly special place to stay in Georgetown, The Poppy is it. We can’t wait to come back!

Highly recommended place to stay in a beautiful residential area of DC, near the Phillips Collection (also highly recommended). Lots of thoughtful touches, such as a borrow cupboard, and blankets for use in the very pleasant garden (also the fire pit). I’d definitely stay here again.
