Re-invent, Re-imagine, Revive.

Just like the fountain that bears Dupont Circle’s name, Hotel Madera has been a fixture of this quirky area and a beloved neighborhood hangout since it opened. We closed to re-invent ourselves, but isn’t it nice when some things stay the same?

Things like thoughtful design, warm staff, and the sense of peace, privacy, and ease you feel when you walk through the door. The way we welcome guests as part of our family, maybe better. Like members of an exclusive club. Our friendly feel and perfect location. Our small-groups-only approach to meetings. Spacious guest rooms and suites with roomy balconies. And we’re sure Firefly will once again take its place as a favorite among locals. A second home.

What’s Old is New Again

But we’re also about embracing change. We’re a hotel re-imagined. A haven where you step away from the grind of the city and regular everyday life into your own calm stillness. From the moment you arrive, the intimate lobby feels private, with a hint of a lively edge, the life of our stylish lounge spilling into the space. Bright by day, moody by night. Always whimsical, playful, and unexpected yet tailored. And comfortably inviting, like a familiar neighborhood haunt.

Your Calming Retreat

On the journey to your room, you’re transported to your private urban escape. Calming colors, compelling textures, and rich details create an inspired sense of calm and creative artwork and design catch you a little off guard in the very best way. Only nine extraordinarily spacious guestrooms per floor, with either windows that open or a generous balcony, give you plenty of space to breathe and make you feel right at home. Disconnect or stay connected, whatever your preference is, your room is ready to play the part.

Pull Up Your Favorite Seat

The icing on the cake, the cherry on top, dining takes on a new life in a more open space and new lounge acting as an open invitation to people passing by, reinvigorating the once proud local hangout. There’s a comfort and ease to the vibe here that makes you want to stay just a little longer.

Our Story 1

Perfect Location

The Dupont Circle fountain is a social gathering spot in our beloved neighborhood. Home of many of DC’s prestigious museums, embassies, and cultural events. A historic district with unexpected layers, likes a former trolley station turned art museum, as well as DC’s most unique bistros, bars, boutiques and bookstores. And at Hotel Madera, we’re a reflection of our surroundings. Where old meets new, where classic meets unexpected, and where you feel like you’re exactly where you belong.
