Dupont Circle, located between Logan Circle and Georgetown, is a historic and cosmopolitan Washington neighborhood with a grand traffic circle and embassy-row streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at Dupont Circle itself, where Connecticut Avenue NW and Massachusetts Avenue NW meet amid sidewalk cafes, indie bookstores, galleries, and late-night dining. The Phillips Collection and Kramerbooks & Afterwords anchor its cultural rhythm, with the historic Dupont Circle Hotel adding a polished lobby scene. Rowhouses and Beaux-Arts apartment buildings line leafy blocks, while pocket parks and small plazas break up the avenues. Metro entrances and bike lanes thread through the circle, keeping daily errands and evenings out on foot.
