The Kalorama Guest House provides accommodations with either private bathrooms or shared bath units featuring in-room sinks and queen, double, or twin bed configurations. Each morning, guests can enjoy a breakfast buffet of fresh croissants, whole fruits, yogurt, cereals, bread varieties, and freshly brewed coffee and tea. Two public parlors equipped with televisions are available in the Main House and Annex Townhouse. The attentive host, Jack, offers local recommendations and places evening wine in the common area. Located just blocks from the Woodley Park Station Metro, the property connects directly to Reagan Airport, Smithsonian museums, The White House, and Union Station. Kalorama's neighborhood hosts multiple dining venues within 0.5 miles, including Lebanese Taverna, Open City, and Petits Plats.
