Location & Transport

Located in Northeast Washington, D.C., Hotel Arboretum is 1.5 km from the U.S. National Arboretum and 2 km from Gallaudet University. A free shuttle service operates to Union Station Metro Station, providing connections to the National Mall, Capitol Hill, and downtown attractions.

Services & Facilities

The hotel offers a 24-hour business center, meeting rooms (750 sq ft), and dry cleaning services. Early risers should note that the lobby can get busy. Staff provide assistance with local recommendations. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, and a fireplace adds warmth to the lobby.

“Hotel Arboretum is a clean and accommodating 2-star property, though its distance from D.C. proper is notable, especially considering the lack of shuttle service. While some guests have reported unexpected charges, the staff's helpfulness, particularly the manager, can mitigate these issues. Breakfast is consistent but may lack variety for longer stays; overall, Arboretum presents a straightforward option if proximity to the city center is not a priority.”
