Embassy Circle Guest House

Occupying a quiet, tree-lined street in stylish Embassy Circle, this Diamond Collection bed and breakfast is housed in the restored former Taiwanese embassy. Owners Laura and Raymond Saba purchased the property in 2003 with an eye towards preserving the building's original architectural integrity, and it shows. Blending seamlessly with the home's period architecture, the 11 guest suites, entrance parlor, and dining room are individually furnished with antiques and handmade Persian carpets. Just steps from Dupont Circle, the Guest Home provides easy access to Washington, DC shopping and attractions.

Room to Book: Top-floor rooms in the front of the house have the best views of the grounds (this B&B does have an elevator.).

Insider Tip: Room amenities do not include televisions or radios.
