Akwaaba Bed and Breakfast

An 1890s townhouse serves as the backdrop for this charming B&B in historic Dupont Circle. Decorations center on a literary theme and celebrate the works of several African American authors including Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison. Take your pick of seven individually decorated rooms with a private bathroom or an apartment rental that can host up to 6 guests. Head down to the formal dining room in the morning for a home-cooked breakfast or stop by in the late afternoon when light appetizers and refreshments are served. Unlike other B&Bs, televisions are available in every room. METRO: Dupont Circle
