The Kimpton Hotel George is a 139-room boutique hotel on E Street Northwest, between North Capitol Street and New Jersey Avenue in Washington, D.C.[1] Hotel George is one of 10 Kimpton hotel properties in the Washington Metropolitan Area and is located one block west of Union Station and three blocks north of the United States Capitol.[2] Opening in February 1998 and named after George Washington, the Hotel George was the first modern boutique hotel built in Washington, D.C.[3][1][4]
Kimpton Hotel George's building was originally constructed in 1928. An acid green painting of George Washington by artist Steve Kaufman hangs in the lobby with replicas hanging in each of the guest rooms.[5]
Kimpton Hotel George's restaurant, Bistro Bis, is a French cuisine establishment operated by chefs Jeffrey and Sallie Buben.[3][6] Because of its proximity to the Capitol, Bistro Bis is one of the most popular venues for Congressional campaign events and other political activities.[7] In February 2017, a dinner hosted at Bistro Bis in connection with the National Prayer Breakfast was attended by Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, Russian politician Aleksandr Torshin, and Russian agent Maria Butina.[8]
