TripAdvisor's #1 Hotel in Washington DC Just like the fountain that bears Dupont Circle’s name, the 81 room boutique Hotel Madera has been a fixture of this quirky area and a beloved neighborhood hangout since it opened. We closed to re-invent ourselves, but isn’t it nice when some things stay the same? Things like thoughtful design, warm staff, and the sense of peace, privacy, and ease you feel when you walk through the door. The way we welcome guests as part of our family, maybe better. Like members of an exclusive club. Our friendly feel and perfect location. Our small-groups-only approach to meetings. Spacious guest rooms and suites with roomy balconies. And we’re sure Firefly will once again take its place as a favorite among locals. A second home.
