There are many reasons why a traveler should consider staying at the citizenM hotel when visiting Washington DC. Located right in the heart of the city, citizenM provides an ideal home base for exploring all that the nation’s capital has to offer. If you’re looking for something close to everything in DC including museums, parks, and monuments the very tech-savvy citizenM Washington DC Capitol Hotel is for you.
Upon entering the sleek, modern lobby, guests are immediately struck by the hotel’s contemporary style and lively atmosphere. The rooms are small but thoughtfully designed, with plush beds, smart TVs, and rain showers. The living room-style lobby encourages mingling and socializing, with cozy furniture, 24/7 food and drinks, and state-of-the-art workspaces.
Checking In at the citizenM Washington DC Capitol
From the moment we checked in I was able to use the app on my phone to control my hotel experience. This was one of the easiest hotel check-ins I’ve ever had. Before checking in my citizenM app alerted me when it was time to check in (no waiting around past the check-in time). I was able to preselect options on my phone like breakfast, late checkout, pick my preference of a high or lower floor, and my view. Once in the hotel lobby I simply selected checking in on kiosks and scanned my phone. Someone verified my ID and I was then able to create my room key with my phone on the kiosk. That was it! So simple and easy.
For the busy traveler, citizenM takes care of the details so you can focus on enjoying your trip. This hotel is by far one of the most technologically advanced hotels I’ve ever stayed at.
On the elevator, I scanned my room key to access our floor. Once in the room, everything is controlled by the app on your phone including the room temperature, dimming/brightening the lights, turning lights on/off, changing the light color/mood of the room, changing the thermostat, changing the TV channels and even putting up the blinds. The hotel provides a tablet in the room to access these features as well in case you don’t want to use your app or don’t have a smartphone. There are traditional switches as well in the room. I was so impressed with all the features of the citizenM Hotel in Washington. I like that the storage space in the room was like a cruise ship-style room with lots of storage.
