Family Adventure at Lyle

Lyle DC recently got a new neighbor at the Smithsonian National Zoo! Linh Mai, the first Asian elephant born at the Zoo in nearly 25 years is now meeting visitors, and there's no better home base for the occasion than Lyle DC.

Our Dupont Circle hotel is made for families. Spacious, comfortable rooms with everything you need, a neighborhood that rewards curious kids of all ages.

Our package includes:

  • Breakfast each morning at Lyle's to fuel up the family for a full day of exploring DC
  • A children's book and their very own Lyle the crocodile to take home a soft reminder of where they stayed, long after the trip is over.
  • An in-room tent, ready and waiting, because every good adventure needs a good base camp.

Lyle is a short trip from the National Zoo home to Linh Mai and over 2,700 animals across 390 species. Reserve your entry passes in advance; demand to see DC's newest resident is high. Need some help? Our team is happy to assist.
