The Mansion on O Street is a Dupont Circle, DC enigma unlike any other boutique hotel around.

A historic building, event space, museum, concert venue, boutique hotel and more, your accommodation will be intricately connected to some of the most interesting happenings in the area.

It’s even more intricately connected to the rest of the building, a maze of passageways and private residences originally designed by U.S. Capitol architect Edward Clark.

The museum portion includes a tour of over 80 secret doors, with late-night tours available.

It’s one part history, one part escape room, and one part Pizzagate, with a reputation for discretion and high-profile visitors.

Even better, The Mansion on O Street runs alongside a nonprofit entity dedicated to honoring public service and inspiring creativity.

If you’re looking for an adventure, a piece of history, or simply a unique experience, the Mansion on O Street is the place.

Eco-friendly food: with organics and compostable materials.
Events galore: including art shows, auctions, and holiday specials.
Extra facilities: like billiards, meeting rooms, and event spaces.

The Mansion on O Street is not your typical hotel; you’re not going to hop on an elevator to a rooftop infinity pool and relax in the striped cabanas.

You can, however, stay up all night on a tour of the museum, searching for secret doors and shopping among the memorabilia.

Choose the champagne tour if you’d rather explore in the daytime, or book a five-course high tea if you’re peckish.

The food reflects the nonprofit side of the establishment, with organic ingredients, zero styrofoam or plastics, and compostables.

There are a number of different tours you can book. This way, you can experience the building in a new way every time.

Explore at night, while the museum is closed to everyone else, explore the art gallery, an auction, or holiday themes like the Halloween costume contest or cookie-filled Thanksgiving and Christmas specials.

Other facilities include meeting rooms, a billards room, event spaces, and more. Most of these require separate reservations, contact the hotel for more information.
