The Ven at Embassy Row, Washington, D.C., a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

I was very weary from travel when I first stepped into The VEN on Embassy Row but I was made quite happy as Wanda helped me with my luggage to the lobby and offered me beverages while I waited for my room to be ready. Once it was ready it was worth the wait and was also connected by the very fun and amazing Ellen at the front desk. She was so fun and I loved being part of the VEN family while staying here. This is a special property with calming lobby, great bar staff and this interesting thing they do with Books. When you stay in your room here you are given a book and a book mark to read while you are here for your stay and you are able to trade it in for another one with a fun person like Ellen at the desk or actually choose a second one to read. Then upon check out we were offered Friend ship bracelets which I wish cherish. At this property there is a rooftop and great pool a very wonderful tea shop and a very fun staff who I will miss. We cannot wait to return this was a wonderful space to extend our times in DC. Thank you, everyone!

The rooms were perfectly fine, and I found the small restaurant there to serve well-prepared meals. While selection was smallish, the quality of the 4 different dishes I had were well above average. <2 blocks to a Metro station - which will take you anywhere. Great 1st experience in DC, thanks in part to The Ven.

Absolutely loved this hotel! It is also one of the very few hotels in the DC area that has a pool let alone a rooftop pool. Enjoyed DC after our trip to Shenandoah National Park and all the amenities in the restaurant food was excellent. I would definitely come back to this hotel with the rooftop pool. It's a little bit small but it gets the job done on a 94° day. They also have a full open bar at the top connected to the pool and after 5:00 p.m. it switches over to adult-only.

We chose this place for our wedding guests, based on the location and value, and were extremely happy with the whole experience and grateful for the Event Staff that made it possible. Specifically, Ibrahim and Charity were very accommodating, making this portion of our wedding planning as smooth as possible. As far as the location, we loved meeting our friends and family on the roof, where there was a beautiful view by the pool, and the central location was perfect. Many of our guests walked to the Mall area, and there is plenty nearby to get food.

A wonderful hotel that was so kind and accommodating. They made a huge fuss of my daughter who was celebrating her 19th birthday and made us feel like treasured guests. My only complaint would be the ice machine outside our door but otherwise a wonderful experience with lovely, friendly staff.

Once again, our stay at The Ven was fantastic. All of the staff were friendly and accommodating. It is a very convenient location and away from the hustle and bustle of Dupont Circle. The star of the show is Jorge at the bar. His approach to making amazing cocktails is a thing of beauty, and he is the main reason we choose to return here. His creations are the perfect blend of spirits, bitters, and aromatics that cause your taste buds to explode with the complex and perfectly balanced flavor of the drink. I highly recommend you experience his mixology magic!

Just wanted to thank Cxxxie & Chxxxtian (blocked for privacy). You have made my first stay At The Ven amazing. Been back and forth at Georgetown and never staid in my 3 years. Can’t wait to have a gathering here and it is because of your hospitality. I can’t thank you enough. - Many Blessings to you!

First got a room with horrendous construction noises directly above, got moved to another room but that was a downgraded room size and was assured it'd be the same as the last, also half of the outlets didn't work. Got moved to a third room and everything was okay, although USB chargers were still broken. Bring a charging brick for your devices.
