Viceroy Washington DC

Kicky and trendy Hotel Helix, a Kimpton Hotel escapes the radar of some meeting planners, yet its eclectic Hollywood take on the classic boutique hotel makes for a colorful alternative to the buttoned-down lodgings of Washington, D.C. Situated near DuPont Circle, the property features 178 newly renovated guest rooms and 18 suites with complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, 37-inch flat-panel TVs, and dual-line cordless speakerphones. A 24-hour fitness center and in-room spa treatments help offset the busy city pace.

Three flexible event spaces and a total 2,240 square feet make business meetings quite manageable at the Helix, which accommodates events and banquets to 125. For a memorable twist, consider the signature meetings, which feature aromatherapy, massage, 10-minute tutorials, and fun worship. Groups can wrap up a memorable meeting with a retro-tini at the ultra-hip Helix Lounge.
