What to know before you book

  • Boutique here usually means under 150 rooms, a bar on the ground floor, and rooms that run smaller than a chain equivalent at the same rate.
  • Almost none of them have a self-park garage. Budget for valet on top of the room rate.
  • Germantown and the Gulch sit close enough to walk in and far enough to sleep. The blocks directly on Broadway do not.
  • Weekend minimums of two nights are common in spring and autumn.
